But are you an accountant?

I'm a quarter Irish so please adjust your indignation accordingly.

This is an example of the bogus argument being pushed by some people trying to downplay the effects of Covid-19 to suit their own agenda. They're trying to say that as a person would probably have died from other causes (statistically), the fact that his or her lungs were flooded due to Covid-19 should not determine the cause of death.

Or the wealthy Irish uncle with a history of coronary disease who collapsed into his chair clutching his chest and the greedy nephew who picked up his shillelagh and caved his skull in. They would say his only crime was impatience.

Or in Western Australia where last year there were 80 deaths attributed to seasonal influenza however this year, although we are halfway through the influenza season there haven't been any deaths because of Covid-19 measures. They'd be claiming that Covid-19 actually saves lives.

Maths don't lie be they sure help obfuscate.

 

 

 

 

LOL.

You completely deny the facts, it is you that has the agenda.

WHO accepts the coronavirus might linger in the air

Some of the latest research has suggested that Covid-19 can spread through tiny particles that linger in the air - which would mean it could linger in an an enclosed space, especially one without ventilation, and not just be spread by coughing or speech.

Now the World Health Organisation is acknowledging that this research may be right, and is calling for more investigation.

Prof Benjamin Cowling at Hong Kong university is one of the signatories who backed the research and called on the WHO to change its advice.

Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale

Its decision to carry on in the face of the pandemic has yielded a surge of deaths without sparing its economy from damage — a red flag as the United States and Britain move to lift lockdowns.

Sweden largely avoided imposing prohibitions. The government allowed restaurants, gyms, shops, playgrounds and most schools to remain open.

LONDON — Ever since the coronavirus emerged in Europe, Sweden has captured international attention by conducting an unorthodox, open-air experiment. It has allowed the world to examine what happens in a pandemic when a government allows life to carry on largely unhindered.

This is what has happened: Not only have thousands more people died than in neighboring countries that imposed lockdowns, but Sweden’s economy has fared little better.

“They literally gained nothing,” said Jacob F. Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. “It’s a self-inflicted wound, and they have no economic gains.”

Trump Tulsa rally 'likely contributed' to local coronavirus surge, health official says

https://abc7news.com/health/trump-tulsa-rally-likely-contributed-to-covid-19-surge-official-says/6307561/

OKLAHOMA CITY -- President Donald Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa that drew thousands of people in late June, along with large protests that accompanied it, "likely contributed" to a dramatic surge in new coronavirus cases, Tulsa City-County Health Department Director Dr. Bruce Dart said Wednesday.

Tulsa County reported 261 confirmed new cases on Monday, a one-day record high, and another 206 cases on Tuesday.

Although the health department's policy is to not publicly identify individual settings where people may have contracted the virus, Dart said those large gatherings "more than likely" contributed to the spike...
