50,000+ UK Covid deaths.

[SirGalahad]

On the BBC N.I. a few days ago, they reported that the youngest person in N.I. to die of Covid was only 19.
It was headlines in the local papers.
It was being discussed on radio when the boy's father rang in to inform those who were discussing the case that his son didn't die of Covid.
His son had tested positive 3 weeks previously but his actual cause of death was an underlying condition .
At the time of his death he had tested negative for Covid.
Because he had died within 28 days of testing positive he is recorded as a Covid statistic.

When Covid is mentioned on a DC it doesn't necessarily mean that it was the cause of death -it could be a contributing factor - for example he could have he died from a secondary infection.

"Most people who die from HIV/AIDS do not die from the virus itself but rather from these so-called "opportunistic infections," which take advantage of a weak immune system".

When will people stop making rubbish up.

Hopefully the contribution we have all realised we can make to reduce our load on the nhs is to get fit and lose excess body weight.

Perhaps the Mods would like to close a point scoring thread about deaths.

Or even one that makes jokes in Catholic child abuse posts, eh? Double standards or what?
