Since you didn't bother to mention what country you were referring to I will do the same.
(see how easy it is to manipulate with graphs and numbers).

Changed my mind, my graph is for Sweden, I assume yours is for the UK since that's where LFC lives.

Kudos for keeping the deaths low. Unfortunately, 1500 Americans are dying from it every day.

... you need to unpack that "dying from CoVID" statistic quite a bit to get to the truth of the matter

... first there is the "dying WITH" versus "dying FROM" all-too-convenient distinction that somehow got lost early in the 'pandemic' and has not been rectified as yet

... then there is typical mortality versus age curve that needs subtracting out to arrive at an honest accounting for an excess deaths dying FROM CoVID

... and then to gain some perspective you would need to compare that much-reduced figure to fatalities for a similar respiratory virus, like the seasonal flu variant that circulates every season, during a non-COVID year with all the interventions, societal meddling and economy-destroying fuckery


During this whole COVID period this has what has pissed me off the most, shitty data. I don't care which argument is correct, I just want detailed accurate data. very few seem to be complaining about this. How do we as a society perform accurate decision making and perform at peak efficiency without detailed accurate data. It's nuts.

Honestly most of society's problems come down to this, we don't solve problems because we lack the data to do so or focus on the wrong data. I think this is intentional, look at GDP, it's held up as the most important economic data point around, but it measures nothing relevant to the everyday person. CPI is of course bullshit too. If we had accurate, broad, detailed data about say quality of life for the 99%, maybe, just maybe, governments would focus on improving things for the people, rather than pumping the economy with fiat to juice GDP.

The world is nuts, and what is even more nuts is the arguing between the 99% on the symptoms of the problem rather than the problem. But I guess that is because Edward Bernays et al have won that war.
