    There are usually a lot of flu deaths daily at this time of year, but it still hasn't kicked in thankfully.

    Sadly, those cancer rates and those of other ailments are liable to increase significantly in the future, as they are just one of a number of factors that appear to be missing from the finger in the wind work.

    Some time back there was a news story that said on a typical day in the UK 800 would be diagnosed with some form of cancer. At that time during the Covid restrictions they were on diagnosing 200 a day.

    There are many unseen consequences of Covid and the actions taken to contain it.

    That link den posted shows the massive failings underpinning the modeling, as it seems to exclude such figures, along with the health impact of economic aspects, as well as the mental health elements.

    People simply looking at 'cases' are missing a massive part of the whole issue, and those figures are pretty spurious anyway.

    Every year the NHS struggles at Christmas, despite increases in funding. There are something like 9 million extra people to cater for over the past decade, which are both known factors that should be included in any modelling assessments.

    Well then thank God that it doesn't manifest from the ether in random places, like some viruses seem to do

    The advantage of getting information direct from an expert with all the facts before him, rather than getting it filtered by journalists or knobheads on twitter.

    It's ironic to think that they're considering closing the Inns and Hotels on Christmas Eve. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Ridiculous decision. One no stable person could make.
