The above helps show the positive effect of distancing and masks (2020).

They stopped releasing these reports when there was a massive COVID-19 surge. How convenient.

From IRC:

[16:27] <Techrights-sec> Just stop testing and stop publishing the results, and the problem goes away.
[16:29] <schestowitz-TR> they also need to hide excess mortality reports
[16:29] <schestowitz-TR> from what I saw, they use a BS formula
[16:29] <schestowitz-TR> it takes past 5 years
[16:29] <schestowitz-TR> so in 2022 they factor in 2021 and 2020
[16:29] <schestowitz-TR> as if they were “normal” years
[16:29] <schestowitz-TR> so 2022 looks not so bad
[16:29] <schestowitz-TR> half your dataset is lockdown panic

The September figures from StatCounter say that about one in 10 Indians is using GNU/Linux on the desktop/laptop; What’s significant here is the large number of users that translates into

With all-time temperature records already broken (about 40 degrees in England), we’ve now entered a long-enduring period of unprecedented heat. Suddenly many people’s homes, designed for a relatively cold climate, become unsuitable accommodation and going outdoors is ever more appealing.

Thankfully there are still many public parks and bicycle lanes, so we’ve taken advantage of the heatwave to have a summer holiday, a staycation.

I’ve not left Manchester in 2.5 years. I don’t miss flying, that’s for sure. It became less pleasant than ever.

If people realised how dangerous COVID-19 still is, it might ‘harm’ business, so why release data? Right? Right, UK Health Security Agency?

Still waiting? Did they quietly kill it? With silencer?

Some call it lie by omission, some call it “agenda”, some call it “propaganda”, and some even “fake news” or “disinformation” (cui bono?)

Football is obviously far more important than something that infects millions and kills thousands each month. There’s not even an attempt to make better vaccines anymore (or to remove the patents on them).

Context:

• COVID-19 in England: Testing Down to New Lows, But Cases and Hospitalisations Increase, Even in Summertime (Worst COVID Summer So Far)
• UK COVID-19 Patients in July 2022 Six Times More Than in July 2021 and Three Times More Than in July 2020
• With Football Stadiums About to Become Packed Again, Highest Daily COVID-19 Death Toll in More Than 3 Months

These figures were only released this past week:

The media here did not even talk about it!
