If you had to build dams around the world's coastline, you would need a lot of material, so it would be pretty deep.basementer wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 4:38 pmAnd 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.

Of course why the Low countries are using material from there is another question.
I was um... impressed by their laziness too

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)

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.
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.

Has Clare Craig not f.cked off yet? Geez.
She's a doctor (specialised in pathology, but nonetheless, a properly qualified medical doctor) who has managed to be unemployed for the entire pandemic. I hope suspect she is going to be unemployable in any capacity after this is over, apart perhaps the GB-UK-definitely-not-RWNJ-News's science correspondent.

Re: COVID-19 conspiracy motherlode
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.

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?

Re: COVID-19 conspiracy motherlode
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.
