“Another F-in tw@t” - They should be given a dose of the Covid-19 virus and left to suffer.

Thick as mince

I think today's weekly figures unfortunately blow your original argument out of the water. Deaths in the week to April 3rd of 16,387, up 6,082 (+59%) on the average for the same week in the previous 5 years. Deaths with COVID noted on the death certificate of 3,475. Still looks like all the COVID deaths are not being captured.

I think describing Dam617's fringe of society ramblings as an 'argument' is quite generous of you.

Watch out dam617 the gestapo are about, and you can not disagree with them.

But do you disagree with him, or do you think he's spot on?

I've been on here long enough to know that anyone with right-of-centre views gets short shrift.
Wittowski is an expert which makes him more believable than anyone else on here.

Have you heard about the lunatic who took Johnson to court about the £350 million and lost? He's at it again, reckons Boris was faking his illness.
Lost the plot.

That's because he's an expert saying what you want to believe. Many other experts take a completely opposite viewpoint. I would provide a Google link to an expert taking the opposite view, but that would make me look as pathetic as you look.

For once, you might be right.

Hi my friend i suppose we will find out hopefully sooner or later if Wittowski theory is correct.

No i did not hear that about Johnson, but we all know the illness his here, for me it's just the way we are tackling it, my god if we go a year under lock down waiting for a vaccine, what will we be left economy wise, i don't care how you look at the figures this is not going to exterminate the human race imo

I don't do politics, ime a none of the above type for me it would not matter who was in power they would all get slaughtered just the same.

Anyway thank you for your input my friend, he is certainly an interesting character Professor Wittowski.

Nevertheless, now would be a better time to do a comparison. As in 'how many people died in the UK on April 14th 2019?' and 'how many people dies in the UK on April 14th 2020?' Even allowing for your 'long chalk' argument, I am confident the difference in numbers would show how serious the virus was.
Surely, you are not still trying to say that this is principally a media event? Or are you?

Yes he was trying to suggest that this is just a flu and that there were no more deaths than usual.

Somehow he thought that the sum total of the world's governments and their scientific advisers had got it wrong, and he, Dam617, along with some other right wing crazies from the Guido Fawkes forum, had nailed it. Probably thanks to a couple of hours 'doing his research' on YouTube.

The bad news is that none of them ever contemplate just saying 'ok fair enough, got that one wrong'.

They always try to change their original claim into something else to make it easier to defend, or concentrate on one minor aspect of it to make it look like they were right all along. In this case it looks like being an argument over the Eddie Large's exact cause of death, if anyone fancies it.

I'm out (already been there and done that this week).
