Yes, my eldest grandson told his parents that he would never complain about going to school again!

You keep saying this, but never back it up...

Coronavirus is killing its victims up to 13 YEARS before they would have died naturally, study finds
- Men who die of COVID-19 are losing, on average, 13 years of their lives
- While the figure for women is around 11 years, according to new research
- The study goes against claims many victims were likely to have died anyway
- It argues many could have expected years more life if they weren't infected

Men who die of COVID-19 are losing, on average, 13 years of their lives, scientists say, while women have 11 years cut off their life expectancy.

The disease, which has hospitalised more than 100,000 people in the UK, is having a devastating impact comparable to heart disease, the scientists said.

The research was done by Public Health Scotland and experts at the universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh.

It flies in the face of authorities' focus on the 'underlying health conditions' of most of the people dying of COVID-19.

And it goes against claims many of the victims are people who were likely to have died anyway.

Office for National Statistics data shows that most people dying in the UK are aged between 75 and 84.

The Scottish research argues that many of those could have expected years or even more than a decade more life if they hadn't caught the virus.

Even people with long-term illnesses - known as morbidities - are having their lives cut short by many years, they said.
