Off Topic Hull Fair

Except with Covid, "thousands" was understating it somewhat, so long as you're ok though that's all that matters!

 

But flu did a disappearing act last year didn’t it?

 

It wasn't, they've come to that decision on their own.

Why would the teaching unions be telling specific schools to tell children not to do things? The unions don't tell us what to teach or say, they're just there if we need external support or guidance.

 

It isn't flu at all.

"Thousands of people die a year from flu" - this won't change, but you now have over 100,000 people dying of Covid in the space of a year on top of that. Covid doesn't replace the flu deaths, just like having heart disease won't stop you getting bowel cancer.

People dying tends to be a pretty good reason to shut the country down.

 

my mate is still getting problems with covid. like being knackered everyday, he had covid for around 10 days in may.

 

Its not about me. What about the thousands who died from depression and loneliness at the end of their lives . Saving them from covid was amazing wasnt it. Also there are thousands of cancer patients without treatment. I realise this is a very emotive subject. But i think more damage was done that was at all reasonable

 

According to figures from the countries undertakers. The amount of deaths in the last two years hasnt increased. Why would they say that if it wasnt true

 

I’m not sure what the word “think” is doing in that last sentence. I see no evidence.

 

Ill see if i can dig out the article i read. If its rubbish i apologise.

 

Interesting video & a cute cat

 

While you are there, dig out estimates of how many people would have died if no action was taken by government and hospitals were even more swamped by covid patients than they were in 2020. That would challenge your crazy assertions about what would have been avoided if we didn’t lock down.

 

Whether undertakers dealt with more might be different to the number of deaths.

My understanding is that some stopped collecting covid deaths and other deaths as there wasn't any follow up funerals to be arranged for them due to restrictions

 

flu deaths reduced due to lockdown, masks and social distancing reducing infections spreading.

 

We were in lockdown last year, so I imagine road traffic incidents were down.
But even so: “Figures registered by Dec. 5 show there were 43,987 more deaths between Jan. 1 and Nov. 30 in England than the five-year average”

Running home before curfew and not doing their Green Cross Code.

 

Reading this thread, and the things people can pick up at Fair makes me realise that it's nothing like I remember it as kid. All we got was a goldfish and some Brandy Snap. Kids don't know they're born these days.

 

So why the **** are you isolating?

 

Go and tell this girl's parents she only had flu.
