nonsense really. other countries don’t count covid deaths in the same way as us , particularly china , so no meaningful numerical comparison is possible. Every death here whatever the reason is counted as a covid death providing that person tested positive within the last 28 days.Israel shows another aspect as well. Get used to it. What ever is done more waves crop up. The jabs reduce all of the collateral damage which isn't just death.
There are some more intelligent business people around who are saying that this can't go on. Some method of limiting / reducing these waves must be found. It suggests some sort of permanent method of limiting spread,
China has one that wouldn't be feasible here. They find a few cases one way or another and lock an entire city down very firmly. Don't even go out. This means that shortly after the incubation period no more people are catching it - end result a much shorter lock down than letting cases build up. They say they will continue to do this at least until 80% of the population is vaccinated.
They have info on how long immunity lasts down to ~90% level following boosters. It's months not a few weeks.
Covid deaths and hospital entries are rising daily. Currently 7 day change +38% deaths and 58% entries. Most people did die if they were going to within 14 days of admission. Around 80% of them. Treatment options may have changed that since then but noises made on that score lately suggests not by all that much if it has. They seem to say a few weeks of an age group in numbers settle that. Numbers as a fair proportions survive but the longer they need to be treated the higher their chances of dying. Ventilation etc. which has lower survival rates.
A mortality count of people dying solely FROM covid has never been provided. Not surprising that the mortality figures are at best ludicrous.
