You should leave the stats to Paddytwat, he can then give you chapter and fucking verse on the intricacies of it.
What bothers me is exactly how we are recording these deaths.
My mates wife is a nurse on the Coronavirus A&E and, basically, you can be wheeled in with heart failure and die but you will also be recorded as a death from Corona if you tested positive.
In effect, the virus does not necessarily kill them but, because you have it, it goes on to the stats as a cause or 'contributing factor' to the death.
This is plainly wrong and, moreover, skews the virus death rate a lot.
This does not negate the fact that we have useless cunts in charge of this crisis but, again, because they are so fucking inept, perhaps they have monumentally fucked up the real death rates because they have gone for a 'one size fits all' approach.
Well, they have fucked everything else up, haven't they!
