When Christian clearly states that he's expressing a layman opinion, why would he need a PhD in medicine ?
I'm also not claiming to have a PhD in medicine, but I can count and am used to working with data.
1 I checked a 6 month period in 2021 and flu or pneumonia appeared on more UK death certificates than COVID.
2 AFTER vaccination, it seems the COVID death rate will be comparable with a bad flu season.
3 Life expectancy has been improving for decades. Covid is setting it back about 5 years, perhaps slightly more if we're pessimistic. However, we still have better life expectancy than at the start of the 21st century.
4 Omicron has a lower hospitalisation ratio than Delta. Most people are now vaccinated.
Therefore, it's time to stop all these crazy restrictions and allow people to live as normal. Those who don't like that can choose to isolate themselves, rather than expect others to do so.
