    India - How bad can it get?

    We know that it is going to get worse before it gets better, there are two questions I have to ask. 1. What is the maximum number of daily deaths that will be recorded? 2. How long will their second wave last. Given a starting point of 3,800 the daily rate needs to be below this for 10 consecutive days (my definition) my answers 11,500 and 23rd November 2021. Numbers by the end of May.

    India - How bad can it get?

    So the last point some notable people have started to die from covid again. Whilst a sarcastic comment in poor taste, how can a country with such a low vaccination rate and limited medical resources have such a low death rate, why is nobody questioning this?

    For the benefit of Toast, some non paywalled comment. https://www.indiatoday.in/coronavirus-outbreak/story/excess-deaths-challenge-india-s-official-covid-toll-1818564-2021-06-23https://devdatalab.medium.com/making-sense-of-excess-mortality-f26cffe3643e https://scroll.in/article/998620/why-its-difficult-to-tell-how-many-excess-deaths-in-india-are-due-to-covid-19 Very scary, a case for world concern as infected people continue to spread the disease. Another point my Wiki death count covid calculator now gives a zero count of covid deaths as none are now identified as such from India, there is either no cause or cardiac items. The latter of course is universal as dead people have a heart that is no longer operational.

    Late Euro championships 2020

    A draw, and extra time the same, then penalties to sudden death, hopefully some goals perfect.

    Late Euro championships 2020

    The quality of the games has improved as the tournament has progressed. More goals less negativity. I remarked to Mrs Controller this fact as Ukraine kept possession and passed back into their own half in an England style, they were of course punished by a technically superior young team. We shall see how the England team progress, I just wonder about the effect of the jubilant mixing on the covid rates.

    Isn't that what the forum is for? For the proper English does not this translate as lively debate?

    Death And The Scrabble Deficit

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolien_Verschueren This young lady was a promising young cyclist until her demise from a brain tumour at the age of 31, with a scrabble score of 32.
  10. I had a thought that the the aim of deathlisters was to celebrate the lives of those who had achieved something in their existence. So here is my question to deathlisters, even if you have not achieved anything yourself, trolling, sniping, and critiquing on social media accounts do not count. Personally I am an accountant and so my scope is limited. What would you like to have been remembered for or let your imagination run wild dream to have been remembered for. Personally I would like to have been a OO assassin, astronaut or a participant in successful time travel experimentation

    I think I would rather be a bookie, more interest from running the game and taking the cash than following the football, makes snooker exciting by comparison. I think I will convert to women's tennis.

    It has the premise for a science fiction series, I’m sure she would not mind starring.

    In line with a current joke circulating the internet at the moment I believe that Scotland can now legitimately claim Carling as their own.

    That would make them the Late Euro Championchips, quite apt for the forum.

    India - How bad can it get?

    This is an adjustment for one of the poorer states. It might kickstart a review of reporting. Only around 5% of the population have been vaccinated high test results for days, shortage of beds, oxygen, and drugs just do not correlate with the reported reduction in deaths over the past week. Pretty damn close and we are nowhere near August yet, any further historical adjustments could really distort the numbers.

    I used to enjoy his late night talk show when he used to converse with the inebriated residents of the North East after closing time in the early eighties, life was different then.
