Amazon tend to pay the highest rates when they move into an area, which is a good thing surely? Granted they predominantly offer zero hour contracts, but that tends to suit most - those that want to work don't generally go short of hours. Holidays are an average of the last twelve weeks so no one misses out there. Pensions are on a pay as you earn basis. I guess the only other benefit would be sick pay but I have no idea what they do or don't offer....

Not a fucking clue! Why would we replace covid with anorexia or any other disease. The whole 'coversation' started because of what Whelk's mate had said about COVID wards. Once again, you're doubling down with some other bollocks that is completely irrelevant.

Lol. So angry timmy! My claim was pretty clear. I'll break it down for you as you seem to have forgotten what it was : Older people are the ones predominantly in covid wards. 75% of people over 50 are overweight / obese. 74% of people over 75 are overweight / obese. Statistically, it stands to reason that 74% of people over 75 that are in hospital suffering from covid related illnesses are also overweight. This would appear to be true given the anecdotal evidence of Whelk's mate who has a senior position at Soton General. I'm more than 'brave' enough to stand by that claim. It's pretty simple statistics timmy.

In the same way that there is a very clear correlation between older people being fat and occupying covid wards. If you were less pig shit thich you'd know that.

And as if by magic, another 1.7m people are being added to the shielding list. Among those added include people classed by weight (body mass index). Bloody scientists must be listening to those spurious correlations https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51997151

Careful, you'll have timmy citing 'spurious correlations' at you in a minute

That's the spirit timmy. Where's that glorious 'doubling down' screen shot when you need it?

I only hope he doesn't live in a glass house - would be might cold in the winter!

Wow, that's quite a leap! You've gone from 'morally reprehensible' to criminal charges! Not really sure you understand what your argument is....

You're all over the place pal, maybe it's time to dig up the enormously funny whataboutery image? To put it in simple terms for you : Statistically you are more likely to die from Covid complications aged 75 and over (I'm hoping that even you will accept that without having to have links to the proof, especially given the vaccine priorities). Also, statistically, as previously posted and laid out in the link provided, 74% of the UK population aged over 75 are classed as overweight or obese (if you want to argue with that, take it up with the Commons!). Therefore, statistically, it stands to reason that by the law of averages 74% of those aged over 75 in hospital with covid related illnesses are overweight or obese - these are statistical facts that endorse the view of Whelk's post which stated : What the fuck are you babbling on about with cars and kids or are you just trying to pull your own pants down again by proving you haven't really understood the current discussion?

Are you seriously calling me a 'cunt' because someone died of coronavirus?

Define 'morally reprehensible'. Is it the people / corporations responsible for deforestation or anyone who has bought a new table / chairs? Is it someone who takes a foreign holiday on a plane every year or is there a number of plane journeys that triggers moving someone into that category, if so, how many trips / air miles? Is it someone who drives the car to the local shops to get a paper and a lottery ticket instead of walking because it's pissing it down? Where is the line drawn and who gets to decide the parameters?

It'll definitely stop some of them

Or just being truthful... I don't think anyone will argue that people who end up in hospital with covid are generally over 50. 75% of over 50s are over weight More info here It stands to reason that nearly everyone in covid wards are over weight....

Lol, they sure do

No, really? I do enjoy Whelk's passive aggressive posts, especially when he shows himself up to be a complete hypocrite - I feel I need to explain it to you that linking to your post shows exactly that as Whelk chose not to bother saying the same thing about your post, which when it comes to GM's posts, you rarely fail to get a hard on. Your posts on the other hand just remind me of an angry man, full of bile and unfunny insults. I imagine you're about 5 foot 5, have a comb-over and a beard, you certainly act like you have small man syndrome.

ROFL

To be fair, I would have expected some sort of impact. The reduction in air travel alone should have produced a measurable impact. This article suggest that the airline industry makes up 5% of 'global warming' annually. Add in the decimation of the cruise industry, reduction in travel etc etc and surely something noticeable should have been measured?

Also the guy who "bottled it" when it came to casting a vote in the Brexit referendum.

I read an article the other day saying that the Ozone layer is healing itself now that a massive CFC emission from China has been found and eradicated. Has there been any discernible effect on climate change given that we've had the best part of a year now with reduced travel and associated emissions?

Great! Survive CoVid, drowned by Boris!

I've just checked, apparently it was just your tetanus booster for living on the sceptic isle

Surely all cause mortality over time is the best measure?

All info available here Contains all the info on daily deaths but also has the cumulative total here The peak of 'deaths in hospital' appears to be very slightly lower during the second wave than the first - 847 on 19th Jan Vs 900 on 8th April (taken from sheet titled "Tab 1 deaths by region").
