UK Official: 66% of Chinese coronavirus victims may have died this year anyway

Up to two thirds of people who die from coronavirus in the next nine months are likely to have died this year from other causes, a government advisor has said.
Professor Neil Ferguson, who is recovering at home from Covid-19, told the Science and Technology Committee that experts were now expecting around 20,000 deaths, although said it may turn out to be a lot less.
But he said that many of those deaths were likely to be old and seriously ill people who would have died from other conditions before the end of the year.
Appearing via videolink, and drinking from a Keep Calm and Carry On mug, Prof Ferguson said: “We don’t know what the level of excess deaths will be in the epidemic, in that, by the end of the year what proportion of people who died from covid would have died?...

If it saves one person though..
At this point, anyone who thinks this was a good idea is lost.

The ironic thing was he is the man who set everything in motion with his now infamous Imperial College model. It was torn apart by Oxford and Stanford researchers over the last few days but no one has talked about those studies.

Thank you somebody anybody.
There should be an estimated years cut short metric.
It would be easy, life expectancy - age at death, min 0, so killing 100 year olds doesn't positively affect the stat.
Then you spread that over the number of cases.
probably is out there somewhere but of no interest to the media

Isn't this the same guy that produced the over the top modeling that caused the panic in the first place?
He hasn't been right about anything

I’m not a scientist and I didn’t sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but anyone can say 66% may have died anyway.

This is the actual problem. It pisses me off all of the wealthy non-working mom's virus-shaming anyone and everyone on social media. Their biggest concern is being forced to by low quality toilet paper. Meanwhile plumber Joe has a mortgage payment due and hasn't left the house in 2 weeks.

That's why total death numbers due to the virus are not necesssarily accurate- many of those deaths do not reflect pre-exisiting health issues, in some cases, potential fatal health concerns before the virus. Whether intentional or not, many sensationalist will try to expand the number to raise panic and such...

The death rate of people infected who have no co-morbidity's is practically 0

Actually this is what I have been saying: most of the deaths from the Coronavirus are elderly people who have a roughly 6% normal death rate: LINK

Wouldn't that be just as inaccurate as the COVID data. Not everyone has the same life expectancy due to their own personal health conditions.
You would also need to adjust that per country, and probably even segment within the country.
That would be way too many variables for the media to cover, especially since Bloomberg is suppose to give us all $1M
