  1. 5 people who died WITH covid but no necessarily FROM covid. I think it is important to make the distinction.

    1. … Exactly ,, and the fact that there was only one person in Intensive care yesterday means most probably died WITH Covid ,, It’s Sad but true that people die in hospital every day, and that hospitals always have had bugs going around …

    2. Definitely ..it’s amazing how the flu..influenca as become extinct…now it’s just covid everywhere….. respect for the lost people….

  2. Firstly my deepest respect to the families who have lost loved ones. My condolences. I do have a concern as to how they are reporting deaths and weather it is to influence the vaccination agenda ( but before any ones goes off on the anti vaxer campaign i happen to believe its a necessary evil) my point is and from my own experience not from some online he said she said posting. We have just had the situation of a man in his eighties dying who had terminal lung cancer for two years and carried an oxygen bottle were ever he went being recorded as a covid death.
    How can this be correct? It does seem like scare mongering and unfortunately makes me feel a bit skeptical sometimes. Apologies if this upsets anyone its not meant to

  3. I should say at the outset, I don’t have a medical background, nor am I a statistician.
    I do however understand that when Covid started, methods had to be adopted quickly to understand the impact of Covid. For deaths, in the UK, the method adopted was to count deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid test. In other words, if I tested positive for Covid last week, and was involved in a fatal car crash today, that would count as a Covid death.
    Clearly the figures are not 100% correct as not all deaths will be caused by Covid.
    But bearing in mind that in order to understand the impact of Covid, these figures need to be easily and quickly collected, I understand where we are today, and would ask how these figures could be collected differently and still be valid?
