What a pile of garbage......

"According to the years-lost scale of the World Health Organization, a person aged 81 who died of COVID-19 lost 14 years of his life, while those who died in their fifties without any underlying conditions lost around 35.81 years. "

....so your 81 and lost 14 years? Planing to live to 95 were you? Can someone show me the countries out there where the average life of a male is 95? "Died in there fifties" (so like a 55 year old?) lost 35.81 (lets say 36.) So again, 55 + 36 = 91? Where is this an average life span? GARBAGE!!!! Man the W.H.O. is terrible. Who do they have working there?

Some of the research looks reasonable but I get a strong feeling that this will not stand up to peer review and there was some serious cherry picking gong on.

Yet another example of the absolute joke the WHO has become.

You do not seem to understand what an average lifespan means.

I understand your confusion. Think about it like this:

An 81 year-old has a high chance of living until 82, while a 55 year-old might not live until 81.

the years-lost scale of the World Health Organization

Where is this supposed scale? and how was it used to get 14 from 81? The article does not point that out.

They say this hoax is taking ten years of life from those it kills.

A new study by researchers from the Public Health Scotland and experts from the universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh has revealed that coronavirus is killing people more than ten years of their lives before they would have died of natural causes. On average, men lose 13 years, while women lose about 11 years of their life expectancy. The new study refutes the claims made by many people that coronavirus patients have underlying conditions which would have killed them anyway soon after contracting the virus.

The Scottish study claims that even among the elderly, many could have lived more years of their lives had they not caught the virus, and even those people with long-term diseases or morbidities are losing some years of their lives.

Dr. David McAllister, the lead researcher in the Glasgow study, says that even taking into account the number and type of long-term conditions of coronavirus patients will only modestly reduce the estimated years of life lost due to COVID-19.
