I said last week “The UK has lost its mind.”

They have moved to Madness Level 11 since then, proposing allowing people outside only once per week, and arresting those walking alone along the beach.

The scientists in charge of the UK are a word I cannot use on a family blog.

They are also not too good at their jobs, which I can say, and which I can prove with ease.

Here are two plots, using data from their own ONS (here and here), that prove their scientists are idiots.

The first is the weekly all-cause death from 1993 to the end of 2020 (the last update they had available when I downloaded the data on the weekend):

The coronadoom and lockdowns, with the two battling it out for top body count, did indeed kill a lot of people in early 2020. The number of dead (by whatever cause) since then has been less than many, many, many other years.

Here is the same data per capita, which puts the madness in better perspective.

The flu+pneumonia seasons of both 1999 and 2000 were worse than the doom in 2020.

Where by worse, I mean worse.

There is no justification for turning the screws on citizens. So why do they do it? Models. Models have taken the place of Reality. I have been warning about this for many years. It’s time you listened.

Bottom line: No matter what age, there is at least about a 10 times or larger chance of dying from something else then COVID. If you’re under 44, the COVID risk is vanishingly low. Our level of fear is not in line with the actual risk.

About masks in depth, see this article and this one. I am also working on a comprehensive article about masks. Hint: they do not work.
