Everybody Panic Anyway And All The Time

Dr John Campbell, who has been making surveys of the pandemic since it began, has this Freedom of Information Revelation for us.

The numbers are from the ONS, Deaths from COVID-19 with no other underlying causes

As Dr Campbell notes, the total of Covid deaths in England and Wales with no co-morbidities involved, from the start to Q3 2021 (pretty much the whole bang shoot before Omicron), is 17,371.

The average age of all those dying from or with Covid in the UK in 2021 was 82.5 years, at or above the average life expectancy generally.

He also notes an estimate (at 10:41 on the original) from Prof Karol Sikora, that the lockdown will result in an extra 50,000 cancer deaths.

The Establishment's response to the ONS figures, published 16th December and only just noticed by Dr Campbell, has of course been as melodramatic and over-the-top as... the drifting of tumbleweed through a ghost town.

But then the Establishment knew about this all along anyway I guess.
