hes claims get further away by the day, c2000 deaths a week don’t happen at his level of immunity
He's in his own little world that Yeadon guy, I don't know what his agenda is? It's like he's pi$$ed off for not being picked for the team, so he's just a sub, heckling at the side.
He can doubt the PCR test accuracy all he likes, but PCR positives go up, then hospital admissions go up and then deaths go up, the graphs have followed each other all over the world for 8 months.
PCR positives ∝ covid deaths ∝ excess deaths, how can he not get this in his ignorant head?
The PCR could be 30%, 50%, 80% or 95% accurate, it makes little difference in reality, a 10% increase in cases is pretty much a 10% increase in deaths, and you can spot that 10% increase at 10% accuracy or 90% accuracy witha large dataset. That's probably why the main concern is not with PCR accuracy, it's the % increase that's most important as that's % increase in dead people.
Fair enough, there will be some false positives with a lower accuracy, but better to be safe than sorry.
His claim of no increase death is ludicrous
W/E 23 Oct, Excess was 1000 per week from ONS data, which is 10% over normal. This was at that time we were on 163 deaths per day average.
W/E 30 Oct, 237 deaths per day av, so we're gonna be on about 1700 excess for that week (about 17%)
W/E 6 Nov, likely 320 deaths per day av, so we're gonna be on about 2300 excess for that week (about 23%)
Maybe Yeadon doesn't think 23% more dead people is a problem, and the flattening of cases has directly followed restrictions imposed.
Covid patients not able to breathe need to be treated, if nurses are treating them, then they're not treating other things which are immediately less urgent. We just don't have half the NHS sat around doing nothing, waiting for a pandemic.
