    So given we will know with reasonable accuracy the number of deaths from covid, but that the number of positive cases are hugely understated all we really know is that the death rate will be significantly less than the actual published figures. I'm not belittling the tragedy that covid has become, for so many different reasons, but just cautioning about quoting published figures as gospel.
    Add to that the fact that they are a bunch of lying b'astards, we'll never know anything for sure.

    At the risk of prolonging this debate, excess deaths figures will tell us everything we need to know.

    First guess:

    Lewis
    Gurr, McCrorie, Considine, Hayes
    Brown
    Ferguson, Hedges, McGeouch
    Ramirez, Emmanual-Thomas

    Weather in Aberdeen is overcast, 15 degrees, not much wind.

    Currently 11 degrees hotter here and not a cloud in the sky. Assumed there wouldn't be that much of a difference.

    Absolutely no idea how we will line up.

    Some very valid points and I accept the premise surrounding testing at that time.
    The suggestion that the death rate has remained the same since before vaccination is ludicrous.
    Despite the reported increase in cases, we are not seeing the same levels of hospitalisationa and deaths. The unknown factor regarding limited testing will have a limited bearing on that stat
