- Risk of the virus to people without pre-existing health conditions and those under 60 has always been small
- But NHS England figures reveal that threat has become even smaller over time thanks to better treatments
- Healthy Brits account for 3 per cent of deaths, while those under 60 make up 5.9 per cent of overall fatalities

Coronavirus is killing fewer healthy and younger people in England now than it did during the first wave of the pandemic in spring, analysis shows.
The risk of the virus to people without pre-existing health conditions and those under the age of 60 has always been small, with the disease preying on the elderly and patients with weakened immune systems.
But NHS England figures reveal that threat has become even smaller over time, with experts claiming it is a sign that doctors have become better at treating the virus.
People with no comorbidities made up 5 per cent of 25,080 total Covid deaths in the first wave, defined as from the beginning of the pandemic in March to May 19, according to analysis by The Times.
Whereas healthy Brits with no known health woes accounted for only 3 per cent of the 12,125 Covid deaths in the third wave, between December 2 and January 6.
People under 60 made up 5.9 per cent of virus-attributed deaths during the winter wave, down from 8.7 per cent in the spring. Although the changes have only been by a few per cent, they have potentially saved hundreds of lives.
Simon Clarke, associate professor in cellular microbiology at the University of Reading, told the newspaper: ‘If you think about the number of patients that it is, it’s not necessarily so small’.
The survival chances are thought to be higher now than at the beginning of the Covid pandemic because of the emergence of treatments such as the cheap steroid dexamethasone. Doctors are also more reluctant to put Covid sufferers on ventilators than they were in spring, after it became clear the machines made some patients worse.
However, people with underlying health conditions and those over-60 are still dying to the disease at a similar rate this winter compared to the spring. Professor Clarke said people with compromised immune systems ‘probably don’t respond as well’ to the new therapies.
Apples, oranges and potatoes. Percentages of deaths, percentages of “cases”, percentages of this and that, always comparing percentages of different things as if they were the same or equivalent.
We’ve had the facts behind the lies, the most significant of which are that exosomes, mislabeled as “viruses”, CANNOT cause disease, and that this imaginary “virus” HAS NOT been shown to even exist, so why keep rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?
We’ve long known publications like the “daily mohel” are nothing but government mouthpieces, but why persist in publishing such blatant propaganda when the truth is that the whole “virus” myth is a SCAM from start to finish?
Not getting at you, Rixon. I’ve been following your work for about 15 years now, and you’re one of the people I trust. It’s just that this entire farce makes me angry that so many of our people are being continually bombarded with LIES designed to destroy everything that makes us Human.
Barney is spot on. Another important aspect to the farce is the fraudulent PCR-based “test” used to identify “cases”. Firstly, PCR is a method to replicate genetic material, not a test. Then, the primers being used are open to question. Some evidence points to genetic sequences found in every normal human, so the “test” will pick up the “virus”, no matter what. Then, the amplifications are almost guaranteed to deliver positive results. A close relative of mine who works with PCR regularly says any number of cycles over 25 is not to be trusted. The WHO recommends 40 for the “Covid test”. (Remember a cycle doubles the amount of genetic material in the sample in the previous cycle.) A non-existent “virus” supported by a bogus “test” amounts to a farce, indeed. Add to that the myth of asymtomatic illness —.
