Distant Doonhamer Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Just spotted this on BBC site. It seems to suggest excess deaths since March are all accounted for by Covid or at least suspected Covid. Any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to suggest excess deaths since March are all accounted for by Covid. Any thoughts? I think it’s safe to say excess deaths in the last year can only really be explained by Covid as the singular major factor. I don’t think until all the data is collected fully that it can be split into different categories (I.e respiratory disease death, possibly Covid, Anything caused by delayed treatment or increase in other factors (mental heath). The fact that excess deaths is similar to the Covid mentioned in death certificates suggests that any increase in deaths from other factors are balanced by any deaths with Covid mentioned that may have occurred anyway.

It's an easily consumable fact but 7000 grieving families and friends is much harder to comprehend. And what a shit time it is be be grieving a loved one, hopefully brighter days are round the corner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what a shit time it is be be grieving a loved one, hopefully brighter days are round the corner.It's the equivalent of an extra 6-7 weeks of a "normal" amount of deaths for the year - adding around 12.5% to the total. Haven't checked the Scottish figures too far back, but would be pretty confident that would be the worst year ever recorded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read his post properly. That’s what he’s saying. He’s pulling virginton up for claiming we were put in level 4 before the new variant was known about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little said within about the time needed to build up immunity and it also left out the key detail - none of the nurses concerned became seriously ill. I'm becoming pretty annoyed with these articles. All they're going to do is encourage refusals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I wouldn't be as arsed about clickbait if it was a commercial site like The Sun or Daily Mail who make their money from clicks/ad revenue, but a publicly funded broadcaster pushing this nonsense is ridiculous. Looking forward to all of the "it is disgracefully busy with people going to the same place I was going!" posts today. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put the whole mainland into level 4 before the new variant was known about, with parts of the south east already over 1000/100,000? Not true I'm afraid. The new variant was specifically mentioned in the nearly week long notice given of putting the country into tier 4. 3 hours ago, Snafu said: You were discussing the new variant on the 14th Dec. The Highlands, The Borders and some other regions were not Level 4 on that date. The governments were aware of the new variant and it's contagious nature as The Cock made it public that they were aware. That was my whole point, I was replying to a post claiming the SG put the whole of the Scottish mainland in level 4 before the new variant was outlined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
