Corona Virus Treatment

Stop showing off that you have all that fruit.

 

It is said (I have not verified, but it does seem plausible) that this graph plots the death rates based on data from the ONS.

Well, it seems pretty clear that the death rate is bumbling along around where it normally would be at this time of year, which makes me wonder how many of the folks that are being said to have died "with coronavirus" as it is reported (very cleverly saying with, and not because of), actually died because of something else (heart failure, cancer and so on) and their death is being recorded as coronavirus just because they have been tested post mortem and tested to have or have had the virus

 

I've no doubt that folks are getting it all over the place, but I do also wonder exactly as you say - how many folks are going into hospital for other things, catching it but also not showing any symptoms of it, and then dying with their death recorded against the statistics as Covid.

 

Did you manage to get a food delivery sorted Mike?

 

Got to be honest, I am sick of listening to the BBC. As I am working at home just now, I have the TV on the background just for noise, and it is often on BBC in the morning because that is what Mrs C has been watching before she goes to work; they would have you slitting your wrists the way they go on. "Here is your daily dose of what you should think.." and so patronising with it.
