The Killer Stats

The killer stats.

According to a recent video by Vernon Coleman (on YouTube and archived at www.vernoncoleman.com), we now have proof that a) capitalism kills us, all, prematurely, (which we already know from the data given in 'The Spirit Level' book and via www.equalitytrust.org.uk), and, b) that the present virus doing the rounds (Covid 19, SARS2, what-ever its present name or mutation is) is *less* deadly than going to work  (aka going to *be* worked) was, last year in the US and UK.

Thus, it seems, the *aggregate* death rates, week-on-week, in *both* the US and UK, are *less*, week-on-week, for 2020 as compared to 2019.

When 'the working week' recommences, I'll endeavour to give links to the statistics.

For now, I rely on Vernon Coleman's observation.

Unless you can confirm or otherwise.
