Today's stat:
'More people in Britain were reported dead of Covid-19 in a day today than died on the roads in a year in 2019.'
1820 Covid-19 deaths versus 1752 died in road traffic accidents last year.
And everyone worries about fast cars & motorbikes.
Stay safe, as they say, and keep hanging on for another month or so. It will be worth it.
As many of you know, my wife is a nurse and a senior manager at our local hospital. Her view is to not get too hung up on the "number" of COVID deaths but to wait for the figures that show actual vs. expected deaths. That'll be a better measure of the real impact of COVID.
The reason for this is, for example,, they had a cancer patient who tested COVID positive but was completely asymptomatic. That patient had a massive fatal heart attack related to their cancer treatment, nothing to do with COVID. Another situation was a patient who suffered a brain hemorrhage and died, again having tested positive but were asymptomatic.
Both of those were reported as COVID deaths but neither had anything to do with COVID.
Using government statistics is probably more dangerous than riding a motorcycle!
