I've played no part in this thread up to now so apologies if I'm about to retread old ground and congratulations for reaching 700+ pages. Nugent-esque.

However, I'm increasingly being swayed by the view of Mike Yeadon and others who argue that the PCR tests are wildly inaccurate and churning out thousands of false positives per day.

I simply don't see how a disease that is supposedly twice as infectious as seasonal flu, which itself usually takes around 4-5 months to get round the country, has taken twice as long to infect far fewer people. Something just doesn't add up.

It's also striking how few excess deaths there have been since the peak back in April/May when it obviously was rampaging round.

Minimal excess deaths, hospitals actually less full than this time last year, yet apparently we have tens of thousands of cases per day and should be cowering away in our homes. So what gives?

There is mounting evidence that Covid is far less deadly than previously thought, with the latest suggestion being that it kills 0.4% of cases or fewer and I honestly believe that there are far, far fewer cases than we're being told.

I'm in a difficult position as my grandmother, brother and mother in law are all classed as 'vulnerable' owing to medical conditions so, even though I believe all this, I would never put them at risk by acting on it and get short shrift from my wife for even discussing it.

However, for me something isn't right so I'd love someone on here to explain why my views are nonsense and put me at ease that this crappy Christmas with no boozing in the pub is going to be worth it.

Not sure he said they were up, said supposedly twice as infectious. Thought his post was very well written

I was just making the point that our attention to washing etc. seems to be working and so does add up.

Remember this?
