Great balanced article, Rich.
RE: UK Covid death toll - Derek Hardballs - 01-05-2022
Hmm, this is ok then…
RE: UK Covid death toll - baggy1 - 01-07-2022
Lots of different messages coming out over the past week with the good news being that, on the face of it and the growth in hospital numbers across the country has either slowed or starting to reduce. These are early signs but both the North West and London have started to reduce over the last couple of days. This should be taken into the bigger picture that the numbers have risen in each region in the last week but last week we saw growth of 61% in London and 93% in the North West, this week those numbers are down to 10% and 49% with both of those regions levelling out over the past few days.
It should also be noted that every region has seen growth this last week but at a lower rate than the last couple of weeks. Currently across England there are 16,163 in hospital and that is compared to 28,246 on the same date last year. Also it should be noted that the numbers on ventilators are 728 (4.5% of total numbers in hospital) today compared with 2,654 (9.3%) this time last year.
It still needs to be recognised that staff shortages are causing extreme strain on the NHS which is why the forces have been called in in some regions.
Early shoots that things might be getting better but let's wait to see if the return to schools has an impact.

It just goes to show that the present policy of following the data is a better bet than following the science of Professor Lockdown and his chums.

We are 7th in the World for deaths. Fourth for deaths per 100,000 only behind the Brazil, India and the US and have picked and chosen when to follow the science. When did locking down late follow the science? When did ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ follow the science? How you can look at this appalling record and think yep we are right to follow the data (what data was that btw?) when in reality the only thing that has saved our poor handling of Covid is the vaccine.

4th?

RE: UK Covid death toll - baggy1 - 01-10-2022
If you sort that on cases absolute Proth, it shows the UK as 4th, if you sorts it on absolute deaths we are 7th
For a better measure I would be looking for excess death numbers - those listed there are only as good as the reporting in that particular country which can be hit and miss

Yes, quite. We're 4th when comparing apples with eggs and 7th when comparing apples with horses. It's all a bit too simplistic and lacking in caveats for me.

Whichever measurement you use, it's pretty damned shite.
