Omicron could be the Covid end game.....

[kulture]

I have been doing a bit of research on this :

While the risk of dying in a road accident in any year in the UK approaches 1 in 20,000, the lifetime risk is 1 in 240.
(bandolier.org)

Covid deaths rare among fully vaccinated - ONS (13 Sept 21)
Out of more than 51,000 Covid deaths in England between January and July 2021, only 256 occurred after two doses.
They were mostly people at very high risk from illness from Covid-19.
(BBC news)

So, assuming you are double vaccinated (though it's more likely you're actually triple vaccinated), and we now have Omicron which is between 2X and 5X less deadly, I think you are wrong.

I think you are at more risk of dying in car accident than from Covid.

You really don’t understand statistics do you. There are less than 5 road deaths a day in the uk. We are currently seeing over 100 deaths a day from COVID. This means more people are dying from COVID every day than from road traffic accidents. You can play with numbers but this doesn’t make any difference with real life and real deaths.

Also, the reason Covid deaths are so low is because of the precautions in place to keep them down. The social distancing, mask wearing, hand washing, working from home.

If you're in favour of dropping those, then I assume you're also in favour of removing seat belts, air bags, speed limits, etc...

Although these measures are good for getting rid of bad drivers, I think the collateral damage is unacceptable generally.

Evidence please?

As said before the PCR test is like going to a casino and betting on red or black. Question now is if PCR test went into actual covid statistics. <<link removed>>

You said it before....but was proven completely incorrect simply by actually reading the thing you quoted.

The real question is weather you are just being an ignorant know intentionally, or weather you really are as thick as you seem?

Not disputing vaccines work. Just that there's still a lot of double vaccinated people dying.

You do realise, that since .ore people in the population pool are jabbed, then by default more will present to hospital (literally since there are far more of them in the statically pool than those without jabs).

This is why variance and confidence intervals are used in statistics. Which I presume you have none a d probably don't even know what they are.......otherwise you wouldn't be spreading statistics around incorrect you have done here...

I think this thread has run its course now, before it gets too heated and we also get too dizzy.
Three things never to be discussed over a family dinner. Religion, politics and covid19.
