Figure 3. No cases of normal flu detected in week 15 through the GP sampling program. Between vaccination, improved hygeine and social distancing you can safely conclude normal flu is not an issue right now.

Thanks for that, why am I not surprised that normal flu isn't an issue right now.

You need to stop reading Facebook and the daily Express and you'll stop seeing so much contradiction.

Now now, don't be a dick

I'm sure I've linked to it before, but the FT data team have been doing some impressive work and todayha e published all cause mortality for 12coubtries. It's laggy because it doesn't get daily data like covid does. But it's stark. ~ 50% increase. That means if the same effect was world wide for say 6 weeks,you'd be looking at 3million EXCESS deaths. Half the population of Scotland. Two the population of Wales. Feel free to show some counter stars to that and I will explain why they differ
Can't provide stats, but did read from an Israeli source that the virus is expected to die out withing 70-90 days naturally from some professor or other who is also questioning lockdown in that country.

Recovery... Takes time. People are publishing data. You clearly aren't in the right places.

Suicide: you may be right. I think that's in the ONS data, but likely even more laggy as will need a coroner inquest. Doubt it's 10,000 a week though.
I don't think there's any doubt and we'll hear more in the coming days.

You e had the logic of preventing you going on the water explained. What you arent willing to do is actually listen because it doesn't fit your agenda. The risk to YOU on the water. Tiny. The risk to others.probanly also Tiny. The risk of influencing others to break the social distancing and start doing things that they perceive as low risk... Bigger.

Well here's a thing, we have difficulty persuading folk to join us at the best of times, I don't see why now should be any different.

Er no we don't.

Other than that thanks I'll forgive all the literals will just put it down to big sweaty fingers in those disposable surgical gloves on a phone keyboard.

I think the big worry was the virus overloading NHS and care services. That there would be a knock on impact for people with other health conditions getting access to medical help. And we would see many covid, and other health conditions die because of lack of access to health care.  

This, thankfully, to a large extent we have avoided. Looking at Italy and Spain it was clear that this could become a problem. 

But, my other half works in social care (occupational therapist) where all none critical services were cut to make staff available for secondment to covid wards and to stop spread in the community via staff. In the end, they've not really been needed. There's been plenty of extra capacity, mostly through premature discharge and cancelling of non-critical hospital visits. 

What's alarming in the excess deaths data is how many of the extra deaths aren't recorded as covid. Possibly under reporting of covid, but surely by April it was forefront of coroners minds? I wounder how many of these extra deaths are those who would normally be getting 'non-critical care' in the community, or having minor operations and where more serious ills are picked up and treated early. How many are people not going to hospitals with strokes and heart attacks. The 'excess deaths' number tells us how many are dying as a result of both the virus, and the measures to combat the virus. 

I also think about the many who have missed cancer screening and the ticking clock there. 

Then there are people who have had non-critical, but still life changing procedures cancelled.

And the longer restrictions go on, the more these 'non-critical' situation fester. 

So, I fully agree with the lock down. But the longer it goes on, the more important it becomes to open up the non-critical, especially as it becomes clear we're not seeing a disastrous overloading of the NHS, which of course was the aim of lockdown.  

We need to ask ourselves what measures we can take, what changes we can issue, for these non-critical, but still terribly important activities to take place. The lock-down has worked. We need to think about the collateral damage. 

Sailing is a microcosm of the above. Just like the the patients discharged early, with no community care, who don't just disappear, the sailors who aren't on the water don't just disappear. There are some great minds working on solutions to the main problem, with vaccine and testing. But for the rest we should be asking how we can limit the collateral in other aspects of life by altering our behaviours but still realising benefits.


speaking to my  contacts  ( and friends ) on the front lines the excess deaths  is in part people who fail to seek help when they should - so instead of seeking help of r that chest pain or the  really bad  gut ache  they don;t  and then a day or two wake up dead one morning  as they reinfarcted or their appendix burst  etc etc ....

This makes interesting reading https://www.theaustralian.com.au/world/the-times/coronavirus-the-man-who-convinced-sweden-not-to-go-into-lockdown/news-story/9a0519b6e2e8cb47b1e2cae2228c3b3d (this is a Times subscriber article but the link gives free access to the whole thing)

Hindsight is a great thing, but I cant help wonder if this approach together with targeting some of the huge amounts of money at elderly care homes might have caused less economic/well being impact?

Its on Wikipedia. 2019-2020 seasonal flu - 800 million infected. 0.45 - 1.2 million deaths. 

Typical flu year - 240 million - 1.6 billion infections. 240,000 - 650,000 deaths.

These are worldwide figures.

I would question how many of 2019-2020 infections and deaths are COVID-19 before its detection. But it looks like a rough year for flu .

Of course no one likes being locked up GRF, and there has obviously been irresponsible reporting and hysteria.  That is the curse of the 21st century - 24hr news outlets looking to fill space.
But filter out all the noise and there is one simple stat. Normally at this time of year there are about 10,000 deaths in England & Wales every week.  Currently there are about 18,000 a week.  Almost twice as many people are dieing as is normal. That is even with the lockdown measures in place.  


Yes, I hear what you're saying, I just wonder about the stats, the way they are complied, the way they are presented, I've read so many contrary feeds my heads spinning, but the one which read the media are lying to hype the figures kind of stuck, as did the actual 'searching' for covid related deaths to support the figures.

Here's a question I posed elsewhere, what's happened to the normal garden variety flu figures?

Where are the figures for those who have recovered which a balanced media shoudl report alongside the deaths.

Meanwhile domestic abuse is up, child abuse, I've not been able to source anything about the current suicide rate but I wouldn't put money on it not rising.

I don't see this as a conspiracy, I view it as global media running out of control and idiot politicians badly informed   over reacting, that and mass hysteria, which you can always put down as never underestimating the predictability of stupidity.

But perhaps most importantly I see no logic in preventing us going onto the water in our boats.

The reporting IS frustrating, but that is sadly inevitable.  It is the same phenomena as Brexit, lazy journalists, sensationalism, willfully(?) ignorant consumers wanting fast food news, to much space to fill and not enough progress from one bulletin to the next.  That and piss poor understanding of statistics by those journalists.  

Sometimes you just have to grin and bear it because the alternatives are worse.
