Funny you should use this as a defence. What if we were talking about climate change? Would you dismiss an 'academics work' because he/she was perceived to have a 'motive'?

That isn't intended as an opinionated, political comment. It's just another example of the strange times we live in. May have something to do with whether you trust and/or believe experts or not.

rammieib Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I can see @Albert's point about the 11.7 years BUT I would question: 1) How on Earth can they actually put a number against how many years extra that person would have lived unless you compare it against the average life expectancy, and EXCLUDE minus numbers. i.e Someone who is already over the 81 years of age cannot have a negative life expectancy 2) Isn't this like saying, the average life expectancy of someone who dies from cancer or flu or suicide or car crashes or any numerous number of scenarios that Covid-19 is causing is XXX. All things we don't shut a country down for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find this though; Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show that in England and Wales, there were 50.4 deaths per 100,000 male nurses and 15.3 deaths per 100,000 female nurses between 9 March and 25 May. Data show a much higher rate of COVID-19 deaths among nurses This compares with 19.1 deaths involving COVID-19 per 100,000 men in the general population and 9.7 deaths per 100,000 women in the general population. https://rcni.com/nursing-standard/newsroom/news/nurses-have-increased-risk-of-death-covid-19-data-confirms-162506 https://www.hsj.co.uk/exclusive-deaths-of-nhs-staff-from-covid-19-analysed/7027471.article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps Marathon runners ought to steer clear of applying for jobs with delivery companies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 6 hours ago, Albert said: So, do you have a source on this, and a breakdown of life expectancy for elsewhere? More than a few. From ten years ago but I'm reliably informed the position hasn't changed. The average life expectancy for those committed to care homes is just two years. But according to immediate care annuities specialist Partnership, self-funders more typically survive for four years. One in ten self-funders live for eight years in care, meaning the cost could rise to more than £200,000.3 Nov 2010 www.thisismoney.co.uk › pensions Elderly long-term-care: what you need to know - This is Money (UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
