There are 700 deaths in hospital every day, of which 500 are apparently COVID. So, over 70% of everyone that dies in hospital is apparently dying of COVID. Does that seem reasonable? Of all the other things that people used to die of in hospital, only 30% remain. Consider this...
Everyone who dies in hospital is tested for COVID on the day they die. This will capture: those who died due to COVID; of something else but genuinely had COVID too; those who caught it in the hospital; and those who died of something else entirely but tested false positive. 🧐
75% of all COVID deaths are in hospital so if this number is overstated, all COVID deaths are overstated. 17% of COVID deaths are in care homes. If they have the same policy, what do you think that makes of the official COVID death tally?
