One can only die of covid19 this year ,staying in and wearing a piece of paper over your mouth has cured all manor of illness that have baffled medical science , all hail paper and loneliness.

You're not one for letting facts getting in the way of your opinion, are you?

That is pretty much unbelievable - unless deaths are being incorrectly attributed to Covid rather than underlying health problems......

It’s not unbelievable in the slightest. It is known that mortality from Covid increases with age. It is also known that it kills far more rapidly than any of the other diseases listed in the graph, with the possible exception of flu. This year, Covid has been killing off significant numbers of sick, old people who might otherwise have lived for some months before dying of something else.

Re: Coronavirus
It's called Harvesting or Mortality Displacement IIRC. Where COVID 'brings deaths forward' by a few months.

Re: Coronavirus
Well if these spikes don't go back down we are probably dealing with more infectious strain and we will be stuck like this until spring.

I predict that based on those figures in five years we will be immortal, as long as we have a yearly covid jab.

Nope, as noted, most people dying from covid have 'underlying' health conditions as well, its simply that covid is getting them first, rather then the underlying condition.

I have looking in vain to find either the amino acid sequence or structure of the spike produced in cells from the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines to see how they compare with the native spike from virus without success. Guess it’s a secret!

Everyone has to die at some stage, so if someone didn't die from Covid they will die from something else, underlying condition or no underlying condition.
In which circumstances won't you accept Covid 19 as the cause?

Maybe you need to go back and read it all again, as the question makes no sense.

If we don’t we could be seeing 100,000 cases in approx three/four weeks time.
