[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1068857, member: 70552"] Yes, and Covid has had social, economic impact other than direct deaths because of Covid. They can’t easily be distinguished from each other, which is why excess deaths by comparing to previous 5 years before Covid hit can give broad idea of the impact on deaths. We will probably never know the exact deaths from Covid and each measure can have its flaws. But to downplay the 150,000 and say it’s probably less is wrong, whatever way you look at it IMO. It’s the kind of narrative that they used for the Spanish flu, but we have much better data today than 100 years ago. And Each death still has a person behind it. And families and friends which have been impacted as a result. And Governments have had to close businesses/lockdown because of the impact of Covid and to stop health systems becoming overwhelmed because ultimately it has been a public health crisis. Have you missed that? [/QUOTE]
