welshbairn Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Craig Murray totally missing the point as usual.. Quote Nobody knows how deadly this virus is. There have not been, anywhere, sufficient reliable large general population samples to know what percentage of people who get the virus will die. We just do not know how many people in the UK have had it and not got seriously ill. My suspicion is that in a couple of years time it will be discovered the mortality rate was under 1%. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2020/04/how-it-starts/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 9 hours ago, GordonS said: Over the last 5 winters we've had 12,000-28,000 excess mortality due to flu each winter in the UK. It'll be a while before we can compare this year's number for excess mortality with those. But bear in mind, those are 'do nothing' years - no social distancing, case isolation, hygiene, none of that. The modelled 'do nothing' figure for Covid-19 was around half a million deaths. Also, the 'do nothing' figure doesn't include anything about people dying of otherwise treatable conditions due to lack of resources. On excess mortality, the pic below is the first thing I've seen trying to consider it. The daily death rate in the highly affected regions far outstrips the Covid-19 deaths plus the typical background level. How many of those additional deaths are undiagnosed or unrecorded Covid-19 case and how many are something else, we can't know yet and might never know. But the actual excess mortality level is clearly very high. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 6 hours ago, bendan said: I agree that we need to stop the NHS from being overwhelmed, so I don't think a temporary shutdown is an over reaction, but even papers like the Guardian are highlighting outlier cases and pretending they are common (younger people dying). Your stats are odd. Are you saying the vast majority of the excess deaths caused by flu don't reach ICU? I didn't even know they tested for influenza. As with Covid-19, it's the possible subsequent pneumonia that kills. I could take a guess but I don't know enough to explain the difference between excess mortality attributed to flu, and flu deaths in hospital. Most people don't die in hospital, the majority die in a care home or at home, so that must be involved in it to some degree. I do know that it helps to look at excess mortality across a season or year, to understand how many people were just finished off by a flu and it only took weeks or months off their life, and how many were properly killed by it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a hypothesis based on observations, you then make predictions based on that hypothesis, and then test them by experiment. You are thinking of rune-reading. The scientific method is all about reproducibility and, by definition, something that hasn't happened can't be reproduced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
