New Boston virus (lab developed super-COVID)

I see the pandemic of misrepresentation continues. Generally at an inverse proportion to how much they actually understand this source

Why do you lie? Where did I express an opinion that was in line with being a huge proponent of restrictions? Or is it that questioning the misrepresentation of the cranks automatically makes someone a huge proponent of restrictions?

Excess deaths in the first part of the year followed covid deaths. There were still quite a few in Europe up to spring. Summer had a massive heatwave in Europe with resulting spike in excess deaths. Now back close to normal. There is also elements of vulnerable people who were sheltering during covid now getting exposed to covid and other pathogens and elements of missed early medical interventions. But for 2022 the overwhelming factors are covid and heat.

Care to comment that the brains trust here are misrepresenting a study on mice, who have been bred to be susceptible to the virus, having an 80% mortality to a version of the virus being tested, as being evidence that they developed a virus with 80% mortality?

That is what this place is, compare apples with jet engines and claim that because apples fall from a tree all planes are going to crash

Jesus, you’re still on your pacific island aren’t you. Still beating the seasonal drum. I think an early summer wave of infections showed that particular theory up

And I also see you are continuing to lie about anyone who doesn’t buy into your bizarre narratives.

Here is the official data source on excess mortality in Europe, which is what I was talking about. Not much of a spike showing for Ireland in 2022, but our data does lag by up to 90 days so let’s see where it goes

And just completion, figures that are available for excess mortality in Ireland recently are based off analysis of data from RIP.ie. The excess deaths by this metric are running fairly close to the number of recorded covid deaths this year. I suspect however what this data will show once the official data is in is that the use of RIP .ie for posting death notices has increased during the pandemic, and that the population has grown 6% over the period being monitored

Seriously? Can you even read or is lying just your natural state?

Silentcorner: you still believe that a heat wave on the continent is driving excess death here in Ireland

Raid: Here is the official data source on excess mortality in Europe, which is what I was talking about

Also, I am sure you have some evidence to backup this claim?

talk to anyone in the industry, the current death rates are way higher than at any point during the pandemic.

Here is the official data:

And here is the RIP.ie data.

Where you take into account that there have been over 2,000 covid deaths this year (from cases in at least half the population at a CFR of <0.1%, versus 0.6% CFR pre vaccination and Omicron, which is why the are no more call for restrictions from anyone reasonable), and that the population has increased 6% since 2016, the data is not out of the ordinary. Wait the the final data is published and see where it lands and get back to me then. Or decide that there is a massive unexplained spike and deny reality, your choice?

And seasonal?

Here are the covid deaths in Ireland for 2022. We dont have much testing anymore so is the only reliable metric left.

Running at about 30 deaths per week over the summer which would equate to probable cases of at least 30,000 per week, and may well have been far higher, versus probably 60,000 in the early part of the year. Massive seasonal effect there.

This is what a seasonal virus chart looks like:

When did the world become so full of folks who think continually misrepresenting reality somehow makes them clever?
