| | Re: Coronavirus | Quote: | |  | | | Believe what you want! | | | | | Thanks, will do. Personally, I'm happy to believe the conclusions of a group of expert academics, and to trust them over inexpert laypeople with side agendas. How about you?

| | Re: Coronavirus | Quote: | |  | | | There's so much anecdotal evidence that many deaths have been incorrectly recorded as being down to coronavirus, it wouldn't surprise me if many other countries have over estimated their death toll.
The UK has in the region of 60,000 excess deaths over a normal period, yet "only" around 37,000 are due to the Coronavirus. I'm just waiting for the study that states the remaining 23,000 are due to the lockdown.
Are you showing us your strong grasp of statistics again? | | | | | On the other hand in the real world; | Quote: |  | | | The official tally of April coronavirus deaths in Moscow doubled after authorities said they conducted post-mortem examinations | | | | | Source |

| | Re: Coronavirus | Quote: | |  | | | Believe what you want! | | | | | Tony, I have no problems with your beliefs.
Just try not to impose them to everyone.
While you were quite annoying in the beginning and frankly your views on coronavirus seemed short of dangerous to me, I think everyone can form their own opinions by now.
And, most importantly, due to the lockdown we're quite safe.

I'm at loss here. Why is people getting grumpier when things are improving?
Nothing truly awful happened in the last 2 months. Summer is almost here with vacations. Bars opened a couple weeks ago. The restriction of more than 5 people together will be lifted soon (lifted to 30 people). Sales are catching up after the virus slowdown at my job.
I'd just like to remind everyone there are no dangerous ideas because ideas don't exist in the physical world. An idea cannot either help you or hurt you. The benefit and danger is in the actions. Zum Wohl!

Jokes aside. You'd be surprised how many people gave up vaccinating their kids because....well, ideas. | The following 2 users would like to thank greenmount for this useful post: | |
