COVID-19: WHO warns of half a million more virus-related deaths by spring across Europe...
Robb Butler, executive director for WHO Europe, told Kay Burley on Sky News half a million more deaths could be recorded by early 2022 if measures are not taken to stem the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
"We're very alarmed," he said.
Exact measurements are not easy to obtain, but there appears to have been a significant decline in global alarm levels since COP26. Hardly surprising for such a damp squib, but this is not what AGW (Anthropogenic Global Worrying) models predicted. Of course WHO bureaucrats are alarmed.

Rampant capitalist exploitation has used up most of the world's supply of worry, and now most big NGOs run on alarm. That is more potent, of course, but can only be used intermittently. There are still plentiful stocks of concern available for household consumption, of course, but big organisations need something more potent. Scientists are working on a new fuel which might be marketed as "scared shitless".
Does "virus-related" mean
(i) caused by the virus
(ii) the stiff had tested positive in the previous 28 days
(iii) caused by the lockdowns
(iv) caused by government-promoted hysteria
(v) caused by the jabs?
Or all of the above?
Sam - I like it, but that "scared shitless" development sounds a little worrying.
dearieme - sometimes it seems to mean caused by the NHS as happened to a neighbour of ours. I used to look at the data regularly but I've given up on that - as far as I can see the quality of it is too uncertain. Deaths from all causes seems to be reliable, assuming they can count the stiffs.
There are better reasons for the well heeled to panic. Reasons that over 8 billion of the world's people can appreciate. Bad odds to draw on in a poker game.
HTLIII - I think that's the problem as they see it.
