So a considerable number of people who died of Covid,didn't actually die of Covid. Can't say I'm surprised, sure will we vaccinate everybody anyway.

A certain number of people died with Covid who may have been very ill. That this number is in any way high is simply a reflection of the extent of infection in nursing homes.The vast majority of people who died did so because of Covid and would otherwise be alive today.
Yes they should vaccinate everyone, that will eliminate the virus.

The death toll from it isn't really accurate. You could argue it skews results either way. Any which way without it there would have been considerably less deaths.

I really can't believe English bars were allowed to open from 0600 this morning. I'm not anti English, but Christ they make it hard.

Think I read somewhere that it's to stop the bars with a 24 hr license to not open at midnight? 6 am is still a bizarre time though. Read a good tweet yesterday saying that if your Qing to get into a bar at 6 then your problems are greater than Covid-19.

Ireland or worldwide? Former certainly as every probable death was included. The latter I'm not so sure as many countries only counted hospital deaths, USA, Brazil, China for example have far more than they are publishing

Anywhere. I think some places have far more and some places have less. To be fair I think it's a hard thing to be fully accurate on.

Agreed. Some have died and are buried and probably never got tested for the virus.

Lots of the "numbers people" on Twitter etc. are using excess mortality as an indicator of Covid deaths,and it predominantly points to a significantly higher number than those issued by the government.
