Why is nobody bothering to distinguish between the virus and the disease anymore?

Everything is meaningless if you don't do this.

We need to know who has Covid-19.

Not who might, possibly, have fragments of the virus Sars-CoV-2, that can lead to the disease, Covid-19.
I'm not interested in how many people in hospital or anywhere else have 'Covid'.

What the hell is 'Covid'?

Be specific.

Tell us exactly how many people are dying from severe pneumonia after contracting Sars-CoV-2.

That is the definition of a Covid-19 patient.
Clearly, this has been deliberate from the start. There are a lot of people on both sides who still don't understand the difference. People who think they've 'had Covid-19' because they tested positive for Sars-CoV-2. People who think a disease can spread around a country.
The most significant outcome of this confusion is that when somebody is told they have the virus, they think they are automatically going to die of the disease.

This is unbelievably irresponsible, deliberate fear-mongering.

You claim hospitals all over the country are full to bursting with people dying of severe pneumonia.
You claim that this justifies the destruction of millions of lives, the imposition of extreme poverty, the psychological abuse of children, the shutdown of democracy, the total &
quite possibly permanent demolition of basic freedoms and rights, the separation of families and thousands of deaths from other ailments.
It is not enough to have doctors on social media assure us that the situation is what you claim. It is not enough to have politicians sharing
graphs and fear-mongering anecdotes. It is not enough to expect us to trust a health service whose neligence kills babies every single day.
Let every broadcaster send journalists and camera crews into major hospitals all over the country and SHOW US WHAT IS HAPPENING.

1. Many people are saying they will not spend Christmas with family because it "just isn't worth the risk".
But how likely is it, given everything we now know, that a person without symptoms will pass the virus to somebody else, with fatal consequences?
2. First of all, given that you have no symptoms, what are the chances that you are infected with Sars CoV-2? The ONS estimates this to be 1 in 115, or 0.87%

3. Now, imagining you are infected, but you don’t have any symptoms, what is the probability that you will infect somebody else with Sars CoV-2? Recent studies show this is around 0.7%

4. If we multiply the probability of these two events, we can calculate the likelihood of you a) being infected & b) passing that infection on without symptoms. This gives a figure of 0.006%
