Query the accuracy of the statement

The article contains the claim "During Covid times the station was broadcasting 100% from presenters homes." However, presumably it is not now broadcasting 100% from presenters' homes because now isn't a Covid time? The use of the plural is interesting, because it suggests there is more than one "Covid time" and, yet, it appears to be admitting only to a single Covid time period of some unspecified imprecise time of 2020-2021, possibly into part of 2022. Clearly however it is not Covid time when deaths in Scotland from Covid shot up during this summer to levels not seen since winter https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c720rww63lko and Covid has been causing around twice the deaths on a weekly basis in England alone than at times during spring this year, and more deaths in a month than the total of mpox deaths in seven months for the whole of Africa, during an extended Covid wave that, in England at least, has lasted four months, a period longer than the summer season. Not Covid times now though and the amount of denial about it being still during Covid that factually is continuously here and causing all these deaths, as well as long term illness in vulnerable people, can shoot off the scale.

When are, or impliedly, were "Covid times"? Was it flu time only in 1918 or has flu time lasted more than 100 years to date, except for perhaps a period during lockdowns around the world for Covid in which, as a result, there wasn't much of a flu season. However, then to use the example of flu and "flu time" perhaps being during a country's winter season, but as the BBC article points out Covid is yet to be seasonal and is Covid time on this basis all year round. Yet "During Covid times the station was broadcasting 100% from presenters homes", but clearly not, as it is currently a time when Covid is actually still here now and the station seemingly isn't broadcasting 100% from presenters homes during this Covid time. I assume it is also broadcasting from the shopping centre now during this time in which Covid is still killing people - and recently has been doing more so. https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/ (All the period since that 'low' high point in May 2024, high when in comparison to it being higher than August last year. Low point meaning the number of around 100 to which it declined in May, rather than the higher point it went to at the end of that month possibly into June this year.)

As of two weeks ago according to the latest figures available from the UKHSA, which shows a test positivity rate of 10% Covid was therefore still continuing out of control in England, as I understand anything above 2% means a disease is not under control (and I've no evidence that Scotland will be any different in this continued out of control situation). Flu, by contrast, has remained currently under control, last time 1.4%. https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/

Doubtless someone would point out, with optimism that is also biased framing, how high the deaths of February peak or November were, but look at how high those Covid deaths are from July and August as opposed to the much shorter wave in May/June that didn't even cover the whole of May and whose *peak* is less than the vast majority of the deaths per week in July and August. https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/

And how even the period from June-August 2024 has more deaths continuously than that smaller peak just before May. But, clearly not Covid times anymore as the past is spoken about as being during Covid times when 100% presenters broadcasting from home.

And look at where we are starting from, at a lot more deaths in a week now than the same time last year (right at the start of the chart showing Covid deaths on the death certificate in England up to and including 16 August 2024 - I am using England data as I know more about this although I am sure the situation in Scotland wouldn't be much different). In England at least, we are now in a trough between two waves, the summer wave is over and an autumn one seems is about to begin, we are now starting with deaths from a much higher place than the start point of same time last year. It's all been continuously worse than August 2023 with Covid deaths in England ever since and continued continuously worse than then even after the large wave of February/March was over.

But not Covid times now. That's what the article currently suggests and the point of course being that it is out of line with reality on this information about deaths and clearly Covid never gone away and not factually accurate to think now isn't a Covid time. Clearly Covid has been devastating for more people in largely growing and significantly higher figures ever since May (compared to August last year) who have lost their lives to this disease. Therefore, do we mean during 2020-early 2022 rather than during Covid times (plural)? aspaa (talk) 17:33, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
