who would have thought no deaths due to flu for the first time in 20 years, wonder how many were flu deaths but classed as covid?

Guessing that a lot of the people who would have died of the flu this year will have died of covid they both seem to kill the old and vonrable.Also everyone wearing masks sanatising keeping distance and lockdown will have played a part.They saying that obesity plays a large part in deaths from covid we are third worst country for deaths and fourth worst for obesity.They reckon two thirds of english are over weight or obese crazy.

I am led to believe that Flu, the cold and a few others all sit on the Coronavirus spectrum, and i do have a theory on that and i does align with what you say. Who would have thought! I keep asking the question as to how many have had as much as a wee sniffle since last March? I have not even had my seasonal cough that keeps getting me year after year! And i am a fully paid up member of the fat ******* club.

I was going to ask - when was the last time any of you had a cold? I certainly haven't had one in the last year and I normally get at least one a year. In September I had my first visit to the office and had a dodgy throat by the of the day, which I thought was going to develop into a cold. Felt fine after a day or two though, so may just have been the difference in air with air-con, etc.

Limiting contact with other people definitely reduces your chances of catching all sorts of nasties, not just covid.

A bit like saying I've crossed the road for over a year and not been knocked down. Lucky so far I'd say.

I have crossed roads for the last 60 years and not been knocked down think has more to do with paying attention than luck to be honest.Think the same with OA not catching anything on his travels think down to masks distancing etc.

Think i have agreed with your suspicions about that in the last thread. It is always in the back of my mind when looking at the daily figures, but "Died of Covid", "Died with Covid" or "Covid Suspected" does create a huge element of doubt that i think will be looked out in the years of enquiry's we will be subjected to!
