Life expectancy vs the 'virus'

Depends what you compare it with. How about a nice low average?

No? For one week there were 11,248 excess deaths. On average 1,607 extra a day over an average that included 2018.

Seriously, you're really bad at statistics.

Again, and again you make the basic mistake of confusing the results after (late) action with what is likely to have happened if no action was taken.

In 2018 no significant action was taken and 50,000 or so died. In March, April and May more than that died despite having a national lockdown to reduce the spread of a much more deadly disease.

A lockdown that was spectacularly effective at bringing down infections and deaths.

You're like someone sitting in a car asking why a driver hit the brake so hard, you didn't hit the brick wall in front of you so clearly it wasn't ever a problem.

1969. Right.

What was the UK population in 1969?

And what is the UK population now?

It kind of makes that 'excess deaths' calculation a bit more stark, if you apply it per head!

I did think of mentioning that; it was 55 million; but IT is having enough trouble as it is.

1969 was the year of another pandemic. I have no idea what measures were taken.

If people are reaching back 50 years to another pandemic to say Covid-19 isn't that bad then they're doing a lot wrong.

Is not that the average deaths all the time? ~600,000 per year.

The ONS uses a sliding window of the last 5 years for their average. Just to avoid you having to count on your fingers 2018 is in that window.

So, you think something which has resulted in one of the worst death rates per million in the world was spectacularly effective.

Any idea what it would have been like without this spectacular success and why it would be so much worse than elsewhere?

No, doing nothing until it was too late brought us to one of the worst death rates in the world. The lockdown helped stop it going even further.

You really are hard work.

500,000 without any measures.

Absolute rubbish. Is this where you are being mislead?

So, you are saying that without lockdown etc., the UK would have had 7,500 deaths per million.

Why so much worse than anywhere else?
