2020

But that is not what Rross has said. He has said that in 34 of the previous 50 years the rate of excess deaths has been higher than in 2020.
I tried to check his source but didn't managed to find the exact details . In 1970 the population was 55m and in 2020 the population about 67m. If you take 600k as a figure of total deaths. Then the % is 600k/67m=slightly below 9 deaths per 1000. When you compare 500k deaths against a population of 55m the deaths per 1000 works out at slightly a ove 9 deaths per 1000.

I wish I could give you the actual figures but I could not find them. I imagine this is what Rross means by his post and maybe he could help by showing the actual figures.

Sat my main punting day but quickly

1976 ...pop..56 222,900...deaths 598,516 1.064%

1982 ...pop 56,329,700....deaths..581,861....1.032%

1977...pop..56,225,700...deaths 575,928....1.025%

These years occupy 1st, 10th and 15th place.

I'll also add that covid kills proportionately more ethnic minorities.....we have a far bigger ethnic minority population these days.

Point being this "pandemic" is just not as bad as they make out......and if we had taken the Swedish route we may have had much more herd immunity by now and possibly just possibly less deaths......as it's all deaths not just covid.....and as we all know lockdown contributes to death now and for years to come.

Right back to work.😁

Thanks. I don't think Taintedice understood what you were trying to explain.

Not quite, I think the idea is that proportionally, allowing for higher population etc, more people died in 1973 therefore covid doesn't really kill anyone and it's all been a conspiracy to stop him playing golf.

I knew exactly what he was saying, that he doesn't have anything to back up his wild conspiracy theories so he's just going to make up some nonsense.

Dismissing people's deaths because of the colour of their skin?
