First and foremost, I am not using the attached to create an argument. I just think that it is interesting and worth debating. We all know that the figures being banded about regarding Covid deaths are not accurate and they have been used as part of the government's narrative. What concerns me is, if these figures are in anyway realistic then the actions taken and the suffering inflicted has been totally unnecessary. Another useful fact life expectancy which is currently 81.2 in the UK (sorry about putting these figures forward if you are currently 81) compared with the average age of death (median and mean) of persons whose death was due to COVID-19 or involved COVID-19, by sex, deaths registered in week ending 9 October 2020 to week ending 1 January 2021, England and Wales.

for 100's of years in this country during an epidemic if there is a death during it will be used as a cause of death, I mean I have been diagnosed with flu about 5 times in my life by a gp but never had a test, so at that time im a stat, if i dies during a flu season with pneumonia I would die of both flu and that, its how its recorded here, its why we can never compare to other countries as all countries use different systems to record deaths so are flawed just by looking like that, use us and the US and look at covid and it isnt right as they record different as china do etc, like you im not here to argue but they are that side of the argument
