Re: When do you shut down the covid-industrial complex?
And of course if you get a positive covid test and linger on for a couple of months before death (e.g. in ICU) you have passed the time (28 days) then you don't show on daily COVID death figures (but if doctor done their job will have COVID contributory factor on death certificate) - so headline COVID death figures can be way off.
Add in people not getting tested & death influenced by COVID, cause of death may not mention COVID at all e.g. if old and COVID exacerbated existing breathing issues.
So, as has been said, excess deaths is a useful thing to look at.
