The failure to provide an effective flu vaccine last year may have contributed to the largest rise in deaths in England and Wales for 12 years, the government’s public health agency has admitted.

An additional 28,189 people died in 2015 compared with 2014, the largest percentage increase since 1968,

That's for the year -------- Over 46,000 in this country have died in the last 6 months with Covid .

2018 - 50,000 - FLU Deaths with excess included - And the above with Covid does not include Excess Deaths ,

mate youve done a stirling job with the updates ...
but ive given up on believing much of it { the figures } this while.....

we have tested more people per million than any other country.. by some distance..
and despite all this testing { which should mean we find more cases ????? } the cases per million are not even in the top 30 for most positive tests of countries with populations over 4 mill people...
yet our deaths per million are 2nd only to Belgium...

quite simply, i do not believe that for one minute..

I’m no expert on this but why would the government spent so much money closing down the economy if it wasn’t as bad as the “Flu” ?

Hong Kong flu,in 1968,killed around 30,000 + in the uk,and up to 4 million worldwide,I was 6 at the time,don't remember school closing,or the country for that matter? No mask wearing then either? Or most important,the world coming to a grinding halt.
I get some people questioning how people are dying now,because of flu,as it's still technically summer,but during lockdown,reports were coming out,of cases of flu dropping by as much as 90% heart attacks the same,it's been said many times on here,more people will die BECAUSE of covid 19 than OF it :sad7: my take is only a relatively small number of people have actually died OF it,the rest of the poor souls,were very poorly to start with,and covid proved the tipping point,for their weakened immune systems,especially those with breathing related conditions,terminally ill patients with cancer,even those who had chemo/radiation treatment, thus were at a far greater risk due to low immune response.we have to live with this virus as far as I am concerned, like most illnesses such as flu. :old: :bluebird:

good question and one that more people should be asking the government..
take all the scaremongering, propaganda and restrictions away and does it really feel like a pandemic to you... ?

The numbers dying from flu are they always so high?
