Influenza and pneumonia has contributed to more weekly deaths than Covid-19 since the middle of June, new figures from the Office for National Statistics show.
So you're saying the measures we're taking are successful, and we need to keep them up until a vaccine is available? A surprise, but welcome, shift in attitude. Oh. You're not saying that, are you, you ringpiece for the privileged and those who think the Tories care about them
Now CANCEL all the vaccination trials, cures & remedies. Bill & Melinda won't be very happy. They were hoping to vaccinate the world.
'Why did we lockdown when there's such a low number of coronavirus deaths?' 'Yes, that's the reason.' 'But flu has more...' 'Yes, that's the reason.' 'Who's on first base?'
It would be absurd to read the lowness of Covid19 deaths as showing the lockdown measures to have been, and to be, unnecessary - it is precisely an indicator of their success. Ideally, there will be zero deaths and hopefully people won't think that means the measures didn't work.

Masks don't seem to have had any impact on the numbers either....

IMPOSSIBLE! I’ve been stuck at home wearing a mask for two months. You saying that doesn’t work? Heresy. saveournhs flattenthecurve
Why don't we just get back to normal then with all our democratic rights restored. Life is never without risk.
MartinDn1001 We have a flu vaccine but people still die of flu ! In trying to kill the virus the government are killing the economy.
RealDeniseWelch Arrrrrrgh!
So let me guess,left will ignore this article as it's the nasty torygraph trying to downplay covid? DT challenges the fear narrative from govt but we must ignore that as it's a plot to make us feel less fearful which must be a lie?Who's the conspiracy theorist?Look at the facts!
SepsisUK BBCMoreOrLess is this true?

Was COVID19 released to force 'the great financial reset' ? 'The Chinese government intentionally manufactured and released the COVID-19 virus that led to mass shutdowns and deaths across the world, a top virologist and whistleblower' COVID19

SepsisUK In more 'no shit Sherlock' news.......
....so theoretically we should be tracking down influenza cases with the same obsessive tornado-chasing pursuit we are applying to covid-19.
Jujupricey2 Fancy that!
How are people catching it?
The wheels are falling off. Hoax FluRenamed
At. Last! About time this was reported.
RealDeniseWelch 0.096% of positive flu diagnosis results in death (CDC website advises influenza is infrequently noted as cause of death on death certificate) This means the main recorded cause of death is infrequent% influenza and frequent% other contributory factors.
RealDeniseWelch 3.2% of positive covid diagnosis results in death (CDC website advises 'Report pre-existing conditions that contributed to the death in Part II of the death certificate') This means the main recorded cause of death is 100% Covid regardless of co-morbidities.

RealDeniseWelch And yet the government has gone into panic mode! Why are they not looking at Sweden right now? - Who they begrudgingly had to remove from the ”not safe to go to list” - Oh because they would hate to admit that they are wrong!!!
