  1.  @panda45925  The numbers are unreliable. As he said, if anybody dies within 28 days of a positive test, they are considered to have died from the kung flu, even if they fell off a ladder or were run over by a bus. He also said that deaths from other causes were much lower. So do we really believe that cancer and cardio-vascular diseases have suddenly disappeared?

  2.  @panda45925  Many thousands (20k to 35k) die from or with annual flu every year. Many thousands also die from heart disease, heart failure, cancer. This year, hardly anybody is recorded as having died from cancer, heart disease etc. People who have long standing health conditions, then catch the flu, would normally be recorded as dying from that condition, with flu as a complication. As for the person who is run over by a bus within 28 days of a positive covid test result, that death is indeed recorded as a covid death. Ian Duncan Smith told us this, a few months ago. The numbers are unreliable. When the UK's annual flu deaths for 2020/2021, I am sure it will show an unusually (unbeIievably) low number. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53722711

  3.  @panda45925  I look forward to hearing why deaths from cancer and cardio vascular disease have plummeted.

  4.  @panda45925  It is clear in this report that they have plummeted. That is because everybody now dies from the kung flu.
