We are 2 weeks behind in knowing death numbers

And that's a point, this "lag in deaths", we were told 3 weeks ago the NHS were getting ready for the "surge", well if there's a lag in deaths being reported they would have already been seeing the surge?? me thinks there's a plot hole here... a big one but don't tell anyone.... Wink

Yet the hospitals are claiming they are within capacity ffs, did they ever see that surge

There was a significant increase in cases and despite the increases levelling off now the numbers are still pretty grim looking to MOST i know.

The lockdown has done it's job because the alternative would have seen these places full up and the hospitals fooked.

Seems to disappoint some that the deaths have been kept as low as they have.

Do you think the numerous estimates of deaths 200k+ come August with no interventions would have been acceptable?

That's not my argument here SE

My argument is they were waiting for a surge, but these deaths and cases are "in a lag", they would have been seeing the surge right about that time or even before it

And still no one is being tested, there's people out there being refused a test

200k wouldn't have died SE, nowhere near, 13000 deaths and these deaths go back to March 1st, that 6 almost 7 weeks and there's evidence out there that they are doctering the figures with other illnesses, like heart attacks and even cancer deaths.

You can't compare the numbers in a lockdown to a normal flu season without restrictions Cry

totally illogical and you don't seem to grasp it.

the lockdown was always going to stop the spread and flatten the graph the problem is there is no herd immunity and still massive chunks of the population with no immunity so easing up measures is a juggling act.

Sontaran you are talking over a flu season many months.This only showed up early march and you have those deaths still with a lockdown to put the breaks on now bearing fruit.

this was growing out of control with a high transmission rate that had to be stopped. Yes the mortality rate isn't high but it would have been a weight of numbers exercise leading to an incredible number of deaths as the spread took off unchecked.

I'm happy enough with the science I've seen and the modelling results to date to think these big scientific organisations would have been on the ball with this.

The death rate is only so low at present because of the action that's been taken. You keep comparing 2 circumstances that are not the same.

There's no scientist any governments are listening to that didn't think the death toll would have been many fold without the restrictions imposed.

Regarding 5G we know its an electromagnetic force EMF we know that oxygen exists in our atmosphere as O2 therefore it becomes magnetic therefore bonds between the electrons from both molecules can be affected by EMF are they telling us this, they say it doesnt affect humans maybe it doesnt but it doesnt have to if it affects something else

thats why O2 magnetic force works with hemoglobin which is a  metalloprotein which has a metal ion cofactor - iron

Report jucel69 April 16, 2020 10:16 PM BST
It’s important to first realize that 5G is a communication standard: it doesn’t have physical form. What does have physical form is the actual Carrier wave used to transmit data over the air. This carrier wave is part of the radio spectrum and can take on a variety of frequencies depending on implementation. Initially, 5G networks will actually use the same frequencies as 4G, with higher frequency bands in the mmwave spectrum coming later. 5G can theoretically go up to 300ghz, though currently planned implementations go up to ~40ghz.
So how can 5G hurt you?
There are two ways in which EM radiation can pose a hazard:
It breaks your DNA, giving you cancer.
Photons have a given amount of energy associated with them, given by this formula:
E = f * h
Where f is frequency and h is the Planck constant (6.62607004 × 10^-34 m² kg/s). With this, even the proposed maximum of 300ghz tops out at ~1.24 mili-electronvolt (meV). What we generally refer to as ionizing radiation (radiation with enough energy to break molecular bonds, including DNA) starts at 10 eV, or about 3 orders of magnitude more energy than 300ghz radio waves. In fact, green visible light (roughly 540,000ghz, or 1000x higher) only has about 2.2eV per photon.
So quite simply: 5G won’t give you cancer anymore than staring at a tree will.
It will cook you like a microwave oven.
Another potential danger of EM radiation is sheer power. This is a well-known hazard, as unfortunately discovered by early radar technicians. A high-powered EM source can cause damage to your body, by cooking you: the water in your body heats up and turns to steam given enough energy. This is essentially what a microwave oven does, and can have a whole host of negative effects on the body.
It’s also the same process used by any other cooking method: it’s effectively equivalent to standing in a fire, if not a bit less obvious.
But it’s also the same process that keeps you warm during the summer: the sun’s heat is absorbed by your body. And that doesn’t cause direct damage (although UV can cause skin cancer, but that’s unrelated as it’s ionizing radiation).
So clearly, what matters here is power: it’s the difference between a nice summer afternoon on the beach and having your eyeballs boil...
The FCC puts a 100W limit on ERP per channel in urban areas: that’s the amount of power a tower can transmit if broadcasting in every direction. In practice, the actual power output is much lower (10W per channel is what I’ve been quoted) because the beam is focused. Of course, there are typically many channels per cell tower (a couple hundred seems typical), bringing both the effective power output and ERP up.
If we approximate the source of this power to a sphere with a radius of 0.1m, then we can also calculate that the power per m² will have been reduced by a factor of 10000 by the time it travels 10m. The amount of power received by humans at ground level is actually quite tiny, coming in at well under a watt. In fact, one key aspect of 5G vs 4G is to have more towers spaced less far apart (reducing latency), but outputting less power. So your body will receive doses that are very low. This isn’t like ionizing radiation either, with no safe dose. Your body can easily dissipate 1W of energy, and does so just fine when exposed to the roughly 200-400W/m² it gets from sunlight.
So again, you’d be in bigger danger if you sat beneath a lamp. Not only is the radiation from a lamp of a much higher frequency, it’s also of a much higher power compared to what you get from cell towers when on the ground. My recommendation would just be not to strap yourself to a radio-antenna, and you’ll be fine...
5G is radio.
It is not a Potential Magical Death Ray . It is radio.
Radio has been around since 1887, when Heinrich Hertz made his infamously flawed statement about the implication of having discovered radio-waves.
Asked about the applications of his discoveries, Hertz replied.
"Nothing, I guess."
Radio is not magic, it is simple physics. Radio is the same kind of radiation as microwaves, heat (IR), visible light, ultraviolet, röntgen (X-rays), and gamma rays.
Some of these - UV, X-rays and Gamma are ionising. Ionising radiation is bad for you. But non-ionising radiation is not that. Visible light, IR, microwaves and radio are not ionising, and cannot do the kind of damage that UV, X-ray and Gamma can. This is not magic, nor poorly understood. This is simple physics.
5G is radio. Just radio. Yes, it is radio that is modulated to be able to carry digital data instead of analog data. That does not make it magic. It does not affect the body in special ways. It is radio.
Saying it needs to be studied for safety is equivalent to saying that we must re-examine the potentially harmful effects of table salt, if salt is put into hexagonal salt shakers.
5G is radio. Radio has been around for 140 years. Radio does not become a Magical Death Ray just because we modulate it in a new way."
