off-guardian | A report from the UK’s Office of National Statistics (ONS) shows that since at least June 19th, more people in the UK have been dying of influenza than Covid19.
This, of course, is despite the fact that “Covid19 deaths” are incredibly vaguely defined.
Under UK law a person only has to test positive for the Sars-Cov-2 virus at any point in the 28 days prior to their death
for “Covid19” to be on their death certificate, a policy which totally
ignores the fact the majority of Sars-Cov-2 infections are completely
symptomless (and has already resulted in huge over-counts).
Meanwhile boring old influenza is lumbered with having to actually contribute to the death
before being added to the death certificate. And nevertheless, for
three straight months, the UK has recorded more flu deaths than Covid
deaths.
“Ah”, some of your may be saying, “this is just evidence that the lockdown, social distancing and masks have worked.”
But that is obviously not the case. Clearly, if these measures did
anything to halt viral transmission, the flu deaths would have gone down
as well. They have not. They are right in line with the five-year
average.
Despite social distancing and wearing masks and hand sanitizer on
every corner…the spread of the flu virus has not halted one bit in its
usual annual progress through society.
Ergo – the “emergency measures” have little to no impact on viral transmission.
