    If it takes you 29 days to die of Covid, it's no longer reported as a covid death.
    If you die of pneumonia 75 days after a positive test, and the pneumonia is because of fluid in your lungs from having had Covid, it's not a Covid death
    If you have a heart attack out walking due to your impaired lung function 6 weeks after testing positive, it's not a Covid death.

    That's why excess deaths is a better way to look at what's actually happening

      To me, it looks like Government figures have revealed that Dementia deaths have declined by the largest number in 20 years.

      Or, they used a spreadsheet to count them.

          Yes, what I said (though I could have been clearer that I meant excess deaths when I stated ONS figures)

            Sokies banned over 28 days since discovery of being a sockie are therefore banned for a cause rather than sockie hatred

              I wouldn't mind a decent takeaway.

                UK dementia deaths decline by largest number in 20 years



                So Covid-19 is a cure for dementia?
                Dementia in Brexiteers is easily confused with cretinism, hence the change in the statistics.
