Let's have a chat about excess deaths...You'll notice in many reports that people are trying to use excess deaths statistics to suggest that lockdown has been justified, that covid was the killer predicted, but you might also notice that they often have to admit that the excess..
...is not entirely attributable to covid. Now why might that be? 
Might it perhaps have something to do with lockdown itself? The panic caused, wild ideas of isolation with little thought about the people who can't survive isolated, PPP with regards to how you protect those...

...most at risk? Absolutely! We already knew before lockdown that the people most at risk were the vulnerable (depressed immune systems, other conditions) and the elderly, but with lockdown, what did we do? The two places that hold the largest numbers of these people were put...
...on the frontline, hospitals and care homes. Of course, hospitals needed to be involved where covid sufferers needed hospitalisation but we encouraged 1000s of suspected covid cases into the hospitals even where they didn't need hospitalisation instead of just acute cases &...
in the cases of care homes, there was actual policy guidelines in places for hospital overflow that people still positive for covid could be placed into them. This was not just the case in the UK, this has happened in Italy, & the US as well likely other places too. As Italian...
...doctors correctly assessed, this was the equivalent of setting off 'biological bombs'. https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/1890910/italian-doctors-warn-of-bio-bombs-if-patients-sent-to-care-centres
As per 'Farr's law' in epidemiology, all epidemics follow a bell curve pattern, the low hanging fruit are taken out (as in the high risk people) and then as herd immunity is reached the infection rates slow as it becomes harder for the virus to jump across swathes of immune...
...What we effectively did with lockdown was to serve up the vulnerable and elderly on a silver platter to the virus. Not only that, hundreds of cases of other issues such as abandonment and neglect are now being investigated that came about because of isolation policies & fear..
...so not only did we get a huge surge of deaths from covid that would not have happened so suddenly had we instead just focussed on protecting the elderly and vulnerable but we also get additional excess deaths via neglect & lack of care. On top of that, as we all know, there...
...has been a massive increase in DNR orders being doled out to people who've never been given such things before. This is also no doubt causing a bunching up of acutely noticeable deaths, not that many of these people might not have died eventually anyway (ps we all do) but...
...because lives are not being prolonged in the hopes to save at least some as is usual the case. Next with excess deaths we cannot forget the collateral damage the lockdown has likely caused. Over 2million >65yr olds in the UK live alone, many of those have family or...
...community volunteers usually coming to see them regularly to make sure they are eating properly, taking their medications on the right days and in the right amounts, getting their prescriptions refilled, what I wonder has become of these people? How also are they coping...
...mentally?
Next with regards to the excess deaths, is the other collateral deaths. The people sitting at home with chest pain, numbness, abdominal pain that if they weren't terrified of going to hospital might have survived their impending heart attacks, strokes, appendicitis..

...and other treatable conditions but that can prove fatal when early intervention doesn't occur. Last but not least we have the suicides for the immediate excess death figures, they won't yet be a large contributor but officials reported in early April anecdotally that there...
...was already a noticeable rise being seen. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/coronavirus-suicide-rates-uk-mental-health-support-a9451086.html
Now if this isn’t an admission of guilt I don’t know what is...
