Additionally Jon, as has been said before by a number of us here, there's a world of difference between those who die with the virus and those who die from the virus. As the video below from yesterday by U.K. Column News shows, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) openly acknowledge that anyone who dies that's contracted the virus will have that written on their death certificate. When my father died of cancer in 1994, his entire body was riddled with the disease. It was in his abdomen, lungs and head - everywhere. The oncologist looking after him showed my mother an x-ray of his lungs and his comment was along the lines of: "this looks like he's been peppered with both barrels of a shot gun". And yet, when he died, listed under cause of death on his death certificate is: 'carcinoma of the left leg'. And that's particularly pertinent to the story because dad's left leg was amputated some eight years earlier!
Tim.
I appreciate the distinction, Tim, albeit that no-one can ever know the degree that the virus contributed to the death of those with it unless it’s entirely unrelated like a car accident. You will know from the article https://amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/608338/ that when the immune system is busy fighting off the virus it weakens and leaves you more open to other things.
What I find difficult to credit is the number of people on here determined to deny what is happening. This thing has hurtled around the world at breakneck speed from a single source Can anyone seriously believe it’s not a killer? Can anyone seriously believe that responsible governments have nuked their economies for no good reason? Can anyone seriously believe that hospitals in the hot spots are not overwhelmed? Can anyone seriously believe this is all some kind of hoax or media induced drama.
