From Worldometer , in rounded numbers,
World pop is 8,000,000,000
number of cases(ie tested positive) 700,000,000 (say 10% of those exposed to it)
deaths 70,000,000 (1% of those who tested +ve)

UK
Pop _______________68,000,000
Cases ____________ 24,000,000 ##~35%
deaths_______________ 200,000 ## #~0.8% of those who tested +ve

USA
pop _____________330,000,000
cases ____________100,000,000 ## #~33%
deaths ___________ 1,130,000 # #~1,13% of those who tested +ve

Countries vary a lot but compared with UK, none has double the deaths/population
 
Errrm.. you are aware that it really only finished of the old and vulnerable which the seasonal flu does every year! If we started counting how many people died of Flu on a rolling basis it would be in the millions.
You're wrong.

Also, we do count how many people die of the flu. It is far fewer.

Not really meaningful to compare "on a rolling basis" - not apples and apples.
I just checked uk flu deaths for a couple of non-covid years which were 70,000 and 110,000.

So, covid having been spread over a couple of years, it's of the same order of magnitude as covid in the UK.
There were "far" fewer cases of flu in the covid years due to lockdowns, so without ascribing numbers, it can be said that covid needs controlling more than flu does.
Which of course, is why we have vaccinations for both.

Scanning across the tables, there were noticeably more deaths proportionally in the younger age groups (up to say 50), for covid than for flu.
 
Wasn't counting for the last 3 years though eh!
They were.

But since flu is less contagious than COVID it almost died out in the UK due to social distancing. In fact at least one strain of the flu is believed to have gone extinct.

You seem to have very strong opinions but not much actual information here.

Average age of death with covid = 83, average age of death without covid = 82.

You live longer with covid.

All dealt with, and settled, by myself and others over a year ago; do a search.
 
The American authorities are investigating a link between the covid vaccine and strokes, from reports on the VAERS system - which is their equivalent of our MHRA "Yellow Card" reporting system.


The dominoes are falling...
 
Correct! so why try and Vaccinate the entire population of our planet for an ailment that only effects 1% of the population? and then vilify anyone who says hang on a minute...
That is a false argument which has been doing the rounds on social media for a long time.

Covid doesnt just affect the elderly and vulnerable.

It is a dangerous virus that can affect people from 30 upwards. There are millions now suffering long covid.

There are plenty of people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, that have died from it.

That is completely wrong

These are really old argument you are bringing up - they’ve been debunked a million times.


Have you been recently converted to the anti vax religion or something - these are really old, tired arguments you are bringing up - which have been debunked endless times, on here and elsewhere.


Im sorry if you believe this sh1t, I really wish you wouldn’t.
 
You need to rummage round on the internet notchy if you think it's all over bar the shouting, especially if the pilot flying you to warmer climes has had the jab.
