Jimbob has linked to the source above. It's supposed to be in the future after ocean level rise and political turmoil, but the f.ckwit who came up with it couldn't be arsed to redraw the coastlines.

That's why Lake Chad and the Aral Sea are the size they are People built barriers around the world and put all the excess water in those places.

And despite the political upheavals, everyone nicely shared out the rock that they dug out to deepen Lake Chad to make all the coastlines exactly the same shape they used to be. It's a kludge, a pathetic excuse for the fact that he was too lazy to redraw them.

Assuming however they are genuine people and genuinely GPs, I wonder if there would be any mileage in filing a complaint to the GMC? I’ve asked them to email me a copy if they can fish it out recycling.

There's a serious problem with excess deaths in the under 64s at the moment.

The peak was far higher than in the older groups and it is not coming down as fast. The difference amounts to over 700 deaths in 60-64 yrs and 1000 in the under 60s.

This is not COVID (see next graph)

COVID deaths are tracking for every age group as a percentage of the Spring peak.

The excess death graph is calculated by taking each week of deaths, subtracting the number of deaths the week of the minimum in September and then taking the percentage compared with the Spring peak.

Yes



and look at the September minimum, which makes it even more "eccentric" than it seems:



Yes there's a bank holiday effect - unless she's not being clear in what she says. And sadly, I do think she believes what she writes.

I can't quite work out what she is on about but with this...

...would she happen to be referring to the largely unvaccinated under 64s??? Compared to older groups who started to be vaccinated in late December??

Hmmmmm

From a Facebook discussion. I think this is quite beautiful in its own way.

This same person who thinks it's suspicious that the government is not telling us how to "boost our immune systems(*)" is, of course, simultaneously arguing that Covid is not actually dangerous(**), thus making one wonder why we would need the boost to our immune systems. But never mind, I'm sure there's some form of logic somewhere.


(*) To the extent that one has "an immune system" (other than as a metaphor) that can be "boosted", getting a vaccine would seem to be quite a good way to do it.

(**) Although it was developed as a bio-weapon by the Chinese.

The government.

(although of course if you're in hospital suffering a cytokine storm in the later stages of the infection, you get given drugs to tell your immune system to calm down)

Am I going f.cking mad? Help me out here. I'm on my phone so can't internet properly.

Got in an ill-advised argument on FB with an anti-vaxxer who insists the UK govt website says 1,419 vaccine deaths since 5th Jan. I presume he's talking about yellow cards but he keeps blustering and insisting I'm just too stupid to read the data and to be frank FB is so sh.t for searching back through even not on a phone...

So far as I know we have a handful of deaths probably attributable to AZ and that's it. Am I off by a couple of orders of magnitude or is FB guy just the prick I think he is?

Correction: 1143 "vaccine deaths". He also says 2020 was 37th out of the last 50 years for deaths so it sounds as if he has done his crank homework.
