Good grief, you’re in too deep You think all that waffle is hiding the fact that you're a thick wit kant? Tis as simple as this - provide your better estimate of average YLL caused by a covid death than the range 11-14 years you're refusing to accept. How about you just do that instead of wasting y...

AVERAGE. The number of people under 50 who have died, will skew that study enormously, when median age of death is mid eighties. Yep - it's pretty obvious isn't it? If a single 30yo, 5 70yos and 5 80yos die - the AVERAGE years of lost life per death would be more than 10. But nah the experts here j...

Again, you’re a bit thick. There was no misrepresentation. It literally said from additional deaths. Do you understand the concept of excess mortality? 2 days of research and you come back with that? Thought experiment for you to try and explain this to you another way. Ireland’s excess mortality a...

Your average 14 years and 2.5million human years was 100% scare story for rubes like you. Here's another paper - https://www.pnas.org/content/117/36/22035 - which gives an estimate of 11.7 years. It's only "scare mongering" if you listen to a bunch of amateurs who have no background in medicine or ...

BB has drowned the thread with his boring essays. Here's a few pictures to break things up.

Which is that Ireland has done relatively well in containing the number of deaths and has suffered less economic damage than average among its peers What? Dan O’Brien recently tweeted that Ireland’s domestic economy shrunk by 22% in 2020, by far the largest contraction in the EU. The domestic econo...

We should solely react to hospitalisations, locking down whenever the number shows any increase with basic social distancing encouraged outside of lockdown periods.

Well of course it wasn't a precise figure, it only had to be big to hook a fool like you. How many places have you shared that now? Like what is you think they're trying to illustrate? If you think 11.7 years is too high, I've already asked please provide YOUR more accurate figure and a reference t...

I’ll take whatever tone I want with you. When you use inane language like lockdowns being an “inconvenience” and start posting scare studies then you are worthy of that. Oh please I beg you don't use a "tone" with me - you'll make me cry. Wtf are you on about "scare stories"? Geneva has run out of ...

I'm not going to respond to all that shite - before you start mouthing off like a shrill shinner about how "they're doing it all wrong", how about you explain your big idea, genius?

If you had a business or real skin in the game you'd be a lot more alert to it.

Stats show that each death represents on average the loss of 14 years of life expectancy so it's not just a cull of people on their last legs. Really? About half our deaths were in Nursing homes where the average stay is 6-9 months and +90% of deaths are people over the age of 80. There's a lot of ...

You are not right on the economy. Anyway you are another lad entrenched in a particular view of our Covid response only from a distance.

Economic damage costs lives, to claim otherwise is pure ignorance. And re Sweden (not to go over this) but again, just wrong. GDP is inflated due to the level of Government subventions, Sweden was significantly behind on that front. They are also far more open to global shocks than their neighbours...

Rarely post these days but I don't get all this whinging about lockdowns. The implementation and messaging might be haphazard but I'd rather be in Ireland at the moment than here in Switzerland where there are 50 to 100 people dying every day and hospitals in Geneva and other western cities have run...

248 cases, 5 deaths. Last Saturday was 274 cases. Stop it, you'll upset Everidey. 115 of the 248 (46%) are false positives at a conservative False Positive Rate estimate of 0.8%. No they're not. The false positive rate is much lower - testing isn't done by randomly sampling the population - it's fo...

De Gascun freely admits the Positivity rate today is 2.2% and the False Positive rate is between 1.0-3.0%. Other estimates of FPR are generally around 0.7-0.8%, but I think he actually knows there is a wide variation in performance across the 46 analytical testing labs used. So what is our confiden...

He had no need to pretend. Whatever else, he is extremely bright and widely read. He wasn't very intelligent, he was a very naughty boy. Yeah he was pretty thick to add to his other charms.

Yeah and fudge you too, you horrible cünt. Venezuela has tested 15,500 people per million, the UK has tested 12,000 per million for your information.

I don't know who you are, but excess death, and even the death figures registered daily are not an indicator of how 'well' or 'badly' anyone has done unless there is miraculously a vaccine next week.

It will actually depend sadly on a direct correlation of when infections occured. Presently the figures look like 30,000 plus so not unreasonable.

It's about as far from an open goal as you can get. Anyone who paid any attention to the last election would see that.
