100,000 is a staggering number, but as the article above says the average age of covid deaths (dying of or with covid) is 81.

The average age of life expectancy in the UK is...81.

This puts it into some perspective, but I hope to God we never have to go through something like this again and let us look forward to the day when it is officially over.

I’m sure your sentiments will be a real comfort to the families of those who have lost children and relatives prematurely.

I mean why bother with a vaccine? We’re all going to die anyway!

I doubt they will log in on here, but if they do my heart goes out to each and every one of them.

However, to provide some context it is still the case that the average age of a person dying of covid is 81.

The life expectancy in the UK is 81.

Perhaps you could have a job telling people they’re loved ones have died.

“Im so sorry to have to tell you that your Dad/Mother/Brother/Sister/Husband/Son/Daughter has passed away, but just to give you a bit of perspective the average life expectancy of someone living in this country is 81. I hope this proves a comfort over the coming months of grief!”

For someone who speaks so much sense relating to the footy side of things, you really even it out on this side.

Funnily enough, I was only thinking the same. Why don't you Ska and Stadium agree with me, as you all seem fine on the footy site.  

Surely I don't have to prefix any comment I make about covid, with a heartfelt message to the families who have lost a loved one?

I am simply pointing out (in relation to the conversation about the number of deaths) that it is not unusual for many thousands of older people to die of winter viruses, and the fact that the average age is 81 supports the view that this has happened with covid.

Oddly enough I used to work for the local Hospice, so I know quite a bit about death.

As far as being ok on the footy side-Touché!

No of course you don’t have to prefix any statement about covid with a heartfelt message to the bereaved, It’s just my opinion that you could be less heartless when you are making a minor point about a potentially sensitive subject. But perhaps your experience has numbed you to such considerations or perhaps I’m overly sensitive. Who knows I just found it crass was all.

Dopey Dom opens the latest can of worms.

The Foreign Secretary has said the Government is "considering" Covid vaccine passports for both domestic and international travel.

Under this scheme, visits to shops, pubs, restaurants and events could be allowed provided the customer has a document on hand proving they have been fully vaccinated against the virus.

Appearing on LBC's Swarbrick on Sunday, Dominic Raab said the Government "hasn't ruled out" introducing the vaccine passport both within the UK and for overseas travel.

The mechanisms of putting the scheme into place still "needs to be worked out," he added.

Mr Raab said: "It's something that hasn't been ruled out and it's under consideration, but of course you've got to make it workable.

Typical modern day govt., suggest/leak something and wait for reaction. So you're going for your walk and realise you're short of milk as you pass a shop. No passport no milk ! A really silly idea.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Was listening to a politics podcast in the week and a journalist said he had asked his 'source within government' about a return of crowds at sporting events. He said that the start of next season and the summer test matches have been earmarked and all that have been vaccinated would be able to attend, maybe reading between the lines but that would suggest to me that some kind of proof of vaccination/vaccine passport set up would be used, if true.
