Just as life requires a complex interaction of interlocked systems death involves a complex failure of same systems. So ‘cause of death’ is already a simplification on that basis.

The intensity of simplification gets greater the closer you get to the event horizon and then after that can be influenced by legal factors, family wishes, time, coroner knowledge, media attention, if anyone gives a fuck.

Just as there’s a ‘hierarchy of death’ in terms of attention there’s also a ‘hierarchy of causes of death’ where we could analyse the social impact on our understanding of biology, fears about dying etc and how they feed into the causal lines we draw

It may follow that the intensity of simplification is greater under extreme stress, and there’s probably a bias with new things that kill that aren’t understood well

Does this mean a conspiracy? No
Does this mean the virus doesn’t kill healthy people? No
Does this mean COVID played a biologically significant role in all recorded COVID deaths? No

Mortality stats are already hazy and get hazier with a new very infectious and occasionally deadly virus with a massive range of symptoms

I mean those numbers are quite hard to argue against. I thin this is what tipped trump out. He wouldve won otherwise. So next government in the uk is labour, thats my prediction. The circumstances are a bit different tho, cos trump was also more mental.

Not hard for biscuits. He will find it easy. All you need to do is plug yourselves into the other information world where everything is topsy-turvy. Graphs for everyone. Everyone gets a graph to suit their needs that's the meaning of science.

well i am politically very naive but cynical as well which is another cop out of course and what i think is if that we're thick enough to vote for brexit then we're thick enough to vote the conservatives in again whenever the election happens. also they're cracking down on protesting and most people seem to take out their anger in comments boxes now. not that i ever protest or even voted until the last round so i'm as bad as anyone and i think i'll put another marvel film on. the above is why i normally stay off political discussions. they never fail to cheer me down
