In another thread somebody repeated the lie that Sweden's death rate is falling. Remember this graph you posted showing upto December 17th? About 20 deaths are showing for the 17th and a 'falling' death rate... Now look at the current graph with what December 17th looks like now.....118...

The bird flu prediction was for if it should become trasmissable from human-to-human which thankfully it never did. It did however kill 60% of those infected (mainly through breathing in dessicated bird poo).

Plague was spread by body lice and fleas, not by rats so killing the cats made no difference. However the sacrifice made in the village of Eyam in Derbyshire undoubtedly saved 100s of thousands of lives..

The UK has only been a democracy in the sense that we know it for 100 years when women and the common man got the vote. To suggest the times of the Tudors was a time of democracy is just crazy!

AIDS isn’t a disease but a syndrome brought about by the conclusion of the disease. Thankfully modern medication means most people who are HIV positive don’t go on to develop AIDS. A better example of different disease and pathogen names would be Bubonic Plague vs Yasiria Pestis.

Typhoid, Tetanus, TB and plague are also bacterial infections that have vaccines. 1608674493 The WHO have not said individuals who have recovered from the virus don’t get immunity, they said you can’t get herd immunity through letting it flow through the population. Despite the claims if...

The R0 of seasonal flu is 0.9-2.1, considerably lower than covid...

The idea that Sweden is over a spike is fundamentally wrong - deaths are still rising. If you had actually been following the figures you would know that the figures are date of death not the number announced on that day and there is a delay between between death and announcement resulting in...

1% of 67million is 670,000.... Meanwhile in Lombardia, the death rate has already passed 0.22% of the population and rising fast. Not far behind are New Jersey on 0.19% and New York state on 0.18%.

Care homes deaths in Sweden were about 1000 out of 6000 total - a smaller proportion than many other countries (in Australia it is about 75%).

During a plague outbreak in the 1590s, Shakespeare’s Globe theatre was shut along with other entertainment & hospitality venues. In various outbreaks (they happened about every 20 years in London), people were confined to their homes with markings painted on the doors to warn people to stay away.

The confirmed reinfections have involved genome sequencing showing minor mutations so definitely not false positives. There have also bern lots of other reported cases of reinfection but they have not had the sequencing. One hospital in Sibiu county, Transylvania reported 6 cases of...

The reproductive value of flu is very low and general hygiene are the main factors over the number of annual cases.

Who said I am? We need to increase the use of the flu jab but ultimately the rapid mutations means we are always one step behind. Why are you okay okay for people to die ftom covid?

Millions get colds and flu each year, it is not at a low level and thousands die each year from flu. You want to let it rip through the population but still expect it to keep on circulating, so how long do you expect the vulnerable to shield?

You think we have herd immunity to the influenza and the common cold? Blimey you really don’t understand herd immunity or virology at all. Millions get colds and flu each year and 600,000 get chicken pox - not something that is seeing its transmission severely restricted.

Go on....tell us which diseases we have acquired herd immunity naturally for... Meanwhile, recent research has shown that smallpox were first appeared in 8th/9th century Scandanavia and was spread by the Viking raids. Those who survived had lifelong immunity yet it became the deadliest disease...

Brunei, St. Vincent Grenadines, Macao, New Caledonia, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Greenland, Falklands, Anguilla & The Holy See. You can easily check it yourself on worldometers. Yes they are all small, however China appears to be only importing casesso is elimanated from the community. It...

Are people still pushing this fallacy that elimination is impossible when more than 10 countries have already done so? It is quite clear that many people don’t understand the difference between elimination and eradication. From the WHO: The same people who people who say elimination is...

However, Helmdon viaduct did cross over the Banbury - Towcester line so that is maybe what you are thinking of? Because there are no freight terminals in the vicinity of Rugby, Sheffield, Manchester or Liverpool and no freight to/from Southampton docks....? Not if you reopen the Met from...
