Median age of deaths due to Covid – 83, average age 80.4

The average age of people dying in England and Wales from Covid-19 is 82.4.
This is slightly higher than deaths caused by other illnesses, which has a median age of 81.5. October 2020 Article:

27 August 2021 As of 15 July, Public Health England’s modelling group, with the MRC Biostats Unit, estimated that overall infection mortality rate is approximately 0.096%.

Infection Survival Rate of Covid-19
Stanford University Study - Pre-print: Drs Ioannidis & Axfors at Stanford
By all historical notions of pandemic fatalities, there was no pandemic in 2020-21. The average % risk of death in any one year for the 70+ is not too dissimilar even without this respiratory virus.
Age Infection Survival Rate
0-19 99.9973%
20-29 99.986%
30-39 99.969%
40-49 99.918%
50-59 99.73%
60-69 99.41%
70+ 97.6% (not in care homes or hospitals)
70+ 94.5% (all)
This is data taken from 2020 when most doctors did not know or implement adequate treatments. With treatments and honest numbers these numbers would be much higher. This is a worst case scenario infection survival rate.

Even lower risks than above in this updated 2022 study:
The COVID-19 risk to the working age population is statistically insignificant. For the under 18s it is statistically zero.
When we look at standard mortality distribution, there is no observable impact from COVID-19. 2020 not only didn’t have the highest mortality rate in the post war period, it didn’t have the highest mortality rate in the 21st century either. 2020 ranked 9th out of 20 consecutive years for all cause mortality in England and Wales. It was the 11th least dangerous year in the last 50. ...there is no statistical evidence of an unprecedented global pandemic in England and Wales (nor Scotland and Ireland)..

From the nearly 2 million children that were followed in school in Sweden, it was reported that with no mask mandates, there were zero deaths from Covid and a few instances of transmission and minimal hospitalization.

COVID and the flu have identical symptoms (but, apparently, flu disappeared):
NHS – The symptoms (for Covid19) are very similar to symptoms of other illnesses, such as colds and flu. Most people feel better within a few days or weeks... and make a full recovery within 12 weeks. For some it can be more serious...
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/covid-19/covid-19-symptoms-and-what-to-do/
US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - You cannot tell the difference between flu and COVID-19 by the symptoms alone because they have some of the same signs and symptoms.

The signs and symptoms of both diseases can range from no symptoms to mild or severe symptoms. Because COVID-19 and the flu have similar symptoms, it can be hard to diagnose which condition you have based on your symptoms alone.

Did Flu surveillance and reporting systems (intentionally?) fail to detect flu?
There appears to have been a collective and systemic failure in flu surveillance and flu death reporting systems in the UK during 2020 and into 2021.
The fact that this failure cuts across all parts that comprise the surveillance and reporting system suggests that this failure is not coincidental, as do the observed inconsistencies in changing patterns of flu surveillance and reporting across different branches of UK public health.
The UK FluSurvey system tracked flu incidence only until week 20 of 2020 and never updated this data. They then abandoned flu tracking until January 2021 when they announced that the flu season had now restarted, after supposedly witnessing the near eradication of flu in the preceding year.
Routine mortality reporting by the ONS switched almost entirely to Covid-19 deaths in 2020 and flu is only included in surveillance reports from 2021, thus giving the impression flu had disappeared in the preceding year.
In response to an FOI about flu in 2020 the ONS obfuscated its answer by using a different death code ‘respiratory disease’ rather than flu for the period up to May 2020 and may have done so to hide the true deaths that should have been attributed to flu.
Our investigations into flu surveillance use in the UK suggest they were either not picking up signals, that were in fact present, or were (intentionally?) deactivated for the duration of what would have been a normal flu season in 2020-2021.
We also looked at UK ONS data for influenza and pneumonia in 2020-2022. We discovered a reporting gap for flu in 2020 when all respiratory disease reporting switched to focus myopically on Covid-19. And then, in 2021 and 2022 the ONS re-started flu reporting and influenza and pneumonia deaths returned.
However, we discovered a hitherto much ignored source of government statistics: The UK NOMIS system. This showed that for the whole of 2020 there is no significant change in the number of deaths caused by flu, compared with previous years, directly contradicting the ONS data. Likewise, the 2020 deaths recorded as caused by flu in the USA was also similar to that seen in previous years.
