Ah so its not a hoax but a conspiracy exposed to you by a couple of pics of A4 laminated printouts in a window somewhere put there by expert conspiracy theorists. Where can I go to see these printouts as they seem to be a primary source?
length of lockdown?
- Thread starter Bobajob
- Start date
The conspiracy believers just let them be, in their own little imaginary world.
Looking at the current data for Africa, Asia in parts & N & S America doesn't buck their theories at all.

Where
did you get your information from as I’ve read different statistic which isn’t the same?
45,000 is the official death toll of Covid-19, but that leaves large numbers unaccounted for. Compared with last year there's 65,000 excess deaths over the norm for the same period, so that's obviously a more accurate number.
Probably many deaths were't recorded as due to Covid-19, especially in the early period when not much was known about it.

Please keep politics and general discussion out of this Electric bike discussion forum. Go to the Charging Post if you must.
A BBC Radio 4 programme expert discussion on the subject about a couple of weeks ago, possibly in their Briefing Room series, and it's been reported elsewhere a number of times. It refers only to the infection period, we have no idea of the year end position of course.

Agreed, I only answered to shut this down quickly since it has no place here.
For anyone else, this is the link to The Charging Post

That's because a lot of the frail people who would have died at this time have already died because of Covid.
Dear vfr,
If you want to help me if I have issues, great. If you don't, that's your choice. There are many other people around who will help, or I will get help elsewhere. I'm not going to be intimidated regarding what I post for fear of upsetting someone who sometimes acts in an inappropriate manner.
If you want to act in a manner that is mature, constructive and helpful, that's fantastic. If you want to act in an immature manner, that's your choice, but I would like to think that you are a bigger man than that.
There's no point saying any more about this in a public forum, I suggest if you want me to clarify anything to you, you send me a direct message and we can chat off line to resolve any issues.
Regards,
Wheezy

So what point are you trying to make?
a) There is no pandemic and more than half a million people have not died?
b) The only people who are dying are old or have pre-existing conditions, so they are not worth worrying about?
c) The World's population is so big, 1% dying is an irrelevance?
In the UK if we had not had a lock down, the peak number of deaths per day back in April would have been far higher and we'd be looking at a total death figure in the hundreds of thousands for the UK alone.
As it is, the government prevaricated and locked down later than it should, causing an extra 20 to 30 thousand deaths.
Look at what has happened in America, they didn't lock down very hard and they opened up again too early and look at the result.
If you think Covid is just a conspiracy, why don't you infect yourself to prove to everyone how harmless it is? That's got to be the most sound argument surely?
