Re: Coronavirus
it doesn't really make any difference now anyway.
People don't trust the politicians. People don't trust the scientists. (the ones that made all those "accurate" predictions) People don't trust the media. Although there may have been a valid reason for the very first lockdown, as there was no vaccine and no one knew what to do. There was no good reason for subsequent lockdowns. The vaccines were on the way and other measures should have been implemented. There's no way we'll see another lockdown in this country, (England) or even closure of certain businesses. The scientists have cried wolf too many times and people now (the ones that have haven't been frightened into submission over the last two years) will just shrug their shoulders at news of another variant. |

Re: Coronavirus
I am in a really boring phone call so I decided to have a look at how we and other countries count COVID deaths. The UK uses the World Health Organisation International Classification of Diseases (ICD) scheme for registering deaths. Here is a nice map of what countries use the same system;
https://www.cableforum.uk/images/local/2022/01/8.jpg Here's a document from the WHO on how and when you should register COVID as a cause of death to differentiate between dying of and with COVID - https://www.who.int/classifications/...ID-19.pdf?ua=1 |

I agree that sounds sensible, but my question was, do other countries do that? This document does not cover such a example. Additionally, during the first wave, it was reported that some countries (I think one of them was Spain from memory) were only counting hospital deaths. I assume not only that this has now been put right, but also deaths in the community and in care homes during that period were added to the figures retrospectively. |

Re: Coronavirus
I’m pretty sure the families of the 2,000 who died that week probably don’t feel like celebrating…

Re: Coronavirus
Rather be seen as sanctimonious than sociopathic…
One doesn't need to personally know someone to have empathy for their plight. ymmv |

Chris then posts factually that he was right and toffeelees was wrong, and I found that funny commented on it. Nothing EXTREMELY ANTISOCIAL about that? N'est pas? Quote:
So in short, I am not a sociopath, but you are without a shadow of a doubt a sanctimonious bore. Hope that helps ---------- Post added at 15:54 ---------- Previous post was at 15:49 ---------- Quote:
1. yes it can. 2. that isn't even what I was doing, I wasn't even commenting on COVID or the deaths because of it. But Hugh is so eager nowadays to attack, he couldn't wait to jump in. |
