Everybody's dying

[jamesbrown]

Mostly unreported CV19, I expect. Other pluses could be indirect deaths (A&E visits are way down), but there are presumably minuses too, like reduced road traffic accidents.

No we want illogical speculation!

One would assume the ICU beds in use by COVID -19 would be normally be inhabited by different sick people who are dying of other things because they are either not going to hospital (A&E attendances) or not being sent to hospital (GPs & ambulances busy) or being rejected as ICU beds are taken. These combined with under reporting in care homes as it seems the Government has completely missed these from its plans.

Brexit.

Rubbish.

Spagettir related deaths....

This is definitely a factor. Fewer people are calling ambulances for things like heart attacks and strokes, either because they think hospitals are already full or they fear being admitted and catching CV19.

Lack of testing for Covid, obviously.

One would have thought in this pandemic there will be compulsory testing for it of every death.

At the same time Mor Ons talk of Chinese suppression of death figures

Still down as unproven on Snopes: Did Millions of Canceled Cellphones Reveal Unreported Coronavirus Deaths in China?

For once you're right.
It's a scandal that the only deaths being reported in the UK are hospital deaths.
In Belgium all deaths are reported (there's a mega outbreak in elderly care homes just like the UK and US) and they form a considerable proportion of Covid deaths.
The UK death rates from Covid are much higher than reported.

People (hundreds of millions) staying at home for 2-3 months without earning jack tulip might have to cut some costs - expensive mobile contracts the first to go. Watch UK mobile operators reporting to stock market soon

Germany now got more infections than China and lower death rate it validates possibility of Chinese figures, especially given that they could not test all asymptomatics.

Unproven by Snopes, but AtW knows. Who'd have thought that?
