Not a decision I took lightly and I have referred it to admin as I did my previous warning about his conspiracy theories that Covid is a hoax.
At that point I PMed the poster and said he could post what he wanted but to keep away from misleading conspiracy theories which in my view were dangerous. I accepted his posts about the pain of lockdown being worse than opening up that is a matter of opinion .

To try to mislead people into not having a vaccine based on an erroneous and unfounded understanding of facts was in my view dangerous

It may fall foul of the AUP about misleading information .

I have posted this on the mods board and asked for views about 4 weeks ago As I felt uncomfortable about trying to clamp down on the right to free speech but on balance I felt I would rather do that than allow for dangerous stuff to be posted .

Anyway admin are looking at it and I am happy to abide by their decision.

You have my support. These people are a danger to society and there are vulnerable people out there who can be scared/influenced by their unfounded bullsh*t.

Well done.

Coronavirus put in perspective...

Patients that have died may have had more than one pre-existing condition.

Does anyone know where I can find the case breakdown by age data?

Is what you're trying to say that 100,000 people are dead but they were amongst the weakest and most vulnerable in our society so... meh?

Based on the data I'd say the UK Government, NHS and SAGE have done an appalling job in protecting/saving the weakest and most vulnerable in our society. Everyone involved in those organisations should hang their heads in shame. Second highest C19 death toll (deaths per million) in the world. Roll on the public inquiry.

So, what conclusions should anyone draw from your figures ?

I am less concerned about the death rates than I am about those who suffer from long Covid and those who are likely to have longer term health problems.
Absolutely loads of evidence that may younger people who had milder Covid have PERMANENT lung damage.

Many others have heart wall muscle damage .

Those who have died are the tip of the iceberg .

We do not yet have figures that are reliable enough to tell us what the long term effects on population/ death rates and health problems in the future will be.

you've produced this post yet you've not provided the link to back this up, I thought the forum ruling was if going to post you had to provide your evidence where you got it from,
we've had one crank dismissed feeding misinformation and if I remember right you backed up the crank on the wakey forum that went for 100 or so pages

How many people went into hospital with other conditions - caught Covid in hospital and died?

I know its heresy but the NHS has not covered itself in glory when dealing with the pandemic - good job we protected it - otherwise it could have been complete carnage.

The idea that nurses - the majority of which had no involvement with Covid deserve a 12.5% pay increase is bonkers. That's unions for you - barely in touch with reality.
