Yes, why?
If you can't(or more likely won't) see why there is no point in having any discussion with you. I pointed out that, despite your claims, the number of general and acute beds beds occupied by Covid patients in Welsh hospitals increased by more than 40% between 21 November and 21 December, while the number of no-Covid patients in this set of beds actually fell slightly. You, of course, continue to ignore figures that don't suit you.

Wales, after its “firebreak” lockdown is now reporting the highest covid cases per capita in the world
That went well....
Yet despite that, their hospital occupancy is at unprecedentedly low levels....

Did you actually read this link before you posted it yesterday?

That doesn't even make sense. They were all operating as sole traders with an equal share of the profits.
You still haven't said whether you trust them.

I wouldn't know. I made it a policy never to hire anyone outside the family. You can never trust an employee.
Does that mean that you don't trust your family?

That covid admissions are mainly an artifact of testing.
Do you not believe that that the admissions are due to the patients being ill? a positive Covid test does not lead to automatic admission to a hospital and ICU.

Covid admissions up, admissions of other causes apparently down.
Exactly, you make my point for me
Which point is that? That the pandemic is over?

18% of hospital beds in Wales are empty as of today
This number of empty beds at this time of year is unprecedented
Very selective, as usual. It seems to have escaped your notice that your link also shows that there has been a 40% increase in the number of acute beds occupied by Covid-19 cases from 20 November and 20 December. During the same period the number of acute beds occupied by non-Covid cases dropped by 10%.
Your dismissal of US figures because they don't suit you is absolutely typical. https://www.statista.com/chart/23746/icu-bed-occupancy-rates-in-us-hospital-areas/
"According to the dataset, ICU bed capacity is already at or above 100 percent in 113 hospital service areas with the highest occupancy rate seen in Cullman, Alabama, at 131 percent. It also looked at how things are developing in areas with a high population, an ominous trend which is illustrated on this map. There are zero ICU beds available in Albuquerque, for example, which has an occupancy rate of 116 percent. In Baton Rouge, that figure is 106 percent while it stands at 107 percent in Ogden, Utah. The New York Times described the situation in El Paso as marginally better with 13 free ICU beds out of 400 in total, which still makes for an occupancy rate of 95 percent.
More than a third of Americans now live in areas that are running critically short of free ICU beds and that hospitals serving 100 million people reported fewer than 15 available intensive care beds at theend of last week. The situation is worse in some places, however, particularly acrossa swathe of Midwest, South and Southwest. One in 10 people in those areas live in an area where ICU beds are completely full or 95 percent full. The disturbing hospital-level data comes as the U.S. registered more than 3,00 deaths in 24 hours for the first time. With an FDA panel meeting to consider approving Pfizer's vaccine, there is some badly needed hope on the horizon.

1. We don’t live in the USA, we live in the UK
2. “Cases, deaths and hospital admissions” are a factor of the flawed PCR test.
180k hospital staff were furloughed in the USA back in the spring. Less than 80k have been brought back.
You need to start doing some research and start thinking for yourself.
As usual you produce figures and graphs to attempt to support your point of view but still do not admit that the pandemic is world wide. You keep talking about excess deaths but do not admit that the main reason for the excess non-Covid deaths is the stress on health services because of Covid.
Try looking at sources that don't suit you e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/12/09/us/covid-hospitals-icu-capacity.html
Among other things the headline gives the lie to your assertion that the pandemic is over.

If I were in charge I’d immediately do the following:
1. Admit we were wrong and the pandemic ended months ago
2. Stop all testing
3. Remove all restrictions
4. Get the health service back running normally
The whole crisis has been a self inflicted disaster.
You seem not to understand the definition of a pandemic.
If it has ended why is the number of cases, hospital admissions and deaths continuing to rise in USA, and why are so many hospitals in USA under such pressure?

No need for this post. Mind you that could be said for most of yours.

Last post tonight as I’m off out round to a friend’s house again tonight. Lockdown rules are there to be ignored.
Its been a fantastic week for the Buds. Enjoy your Saturday night and try not to worry to much about the pandemic - it ended back in May.
Let's see how that develops over the next few weeks.

The care home carnage gives an indication of why covid on a death certificate cannot be trusted
https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4733
When I read your posts, all I see is someone who used to question everything those in power told him but now unquestioningly believes everything those in authority tells him.
Its easy to understand how authoritarian tyrannies can come to power.....
Typical exaggeration. The report says "Some care home residents were wrongly subjected to decisions ruling out attempts at cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the early stages of the covid-19 pandemic, leading to potentially avoidable deaths, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has concluded." the operative word being "SOME".

Absolutely, look what happened when they took lead out petrol! Murder rates across the developed world dropped like a stone and crime rates decreased significantly. No lead pipes, no lead paint, no lead in petrol = no mad hatters (who also used lead to line hats)
While you are right about the toxic effects of lead on the brain, mad hatters' disease was caused by inhalation of mercury vapours.

On the contrary, it’s in the interests of the governments to inflate the death tolls due to covid in order to justify their reaction since the Spring.
Someone goes into hospital with severe respiratory illness and are put in ICU.
They test negative. They are repeatedly tested and then test positive the day before they die.
Down it goes as a covid death.
A care home worker gets tested regularly. They test positive. They die in a car crash 2 weeks later. As they tested positive within 28 days then it’s a covid death.
The gold standard is excess deaths. The current level of excess deaths do not support the assertion that there is a deadly virus in the loose. On the contrary, they support the assertion that people are dying as a result of lockdown restrictions.
The epidemic was over in May and lockdown came way too late to have made any difference. Indeed, the experience of South America and the southern US states, where they locked down at the same time but didn’t peak until months later, show that lockdowns probably don’t work anyway.
Perhaps you should look at a certificate of cause of death and the guidance for completing it.
The Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death
The Medical Certificate of the Cause of Death (MCCD) is completed by a registered medical practitioner. It has two parts:
Part 1
This should show the immediate cause of death, and then work back in time to the disease or condition that started the process. It should therefore identify:
- the disease or condition that led directly to the death;
- any antecedent or intermediate causes of that disease or condition (this is which occurred earlier in the chain of events that led to the death); and, eventually, going back to -
-
the underlying cause of death - this is defined (on pages 33-34 of Volume 2 of the International Standard Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) as:
‘(a) the disease or injury which initiated the chain of morbid events leading directly to death or (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury’.
For example:
- the disease or condition that led directly to death might be a compound fracture of the skull or a ruptured liver;
- whereas the underlying cause of death might be a gunshot wound, or being injured in a road accident.
Part 2
This can be used to record other significant diseases, conditions or accidents which contributed to the occurrence of the death, but were not part of the main sequence leading to the death. However, Part 2 should not be used to list all the conditions that were present at death.
For example:
- a person with diabetes who died of lung cancer might have died sooner than would have been the case if he/she did not have diabetes - if so, diabetes should be recorded as contributing to the death; but
- if the person also had osteoarthritis, it is unlikely that it would have contributed to the death, so it should not be mentioned in Part 2.
In the case of the care worker crash victim the Covid diagnosis would not even be mentioned on the certificate.

The horseshoe was placed above the graves of the witches to keep their evil spirits underground and prevent any curses being placed...allegedly.
The well you mention is in Gallow's Green, as you say it's on the grass between Queen St and MaxwelltonSt. This is the site of the execution of the witches by hanging hence the name.
And yet Gallow Green Road runs from the junction of Broomlands and Maxwellton Street to the roundabout at the foot of Well Street.
