I answered that already- killing the elderly by discharging other elderly with COVID into care homes might explain some or even most of it?

That COVID was put on the death certificates when they died of something else but just happened to have COVID at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just putting the number of covid deaths [34] into context Ok fine we will play it your way. Open everything up and pretend this never happened, no restrictions or local lockdowns or anything, back to normal yeah? Person A- Mmmm, I'm sure I didn't have that lump the other day, I will call my doctors. Sorry we are closed as there are no GP's available, one has died, one is on a ventilator and the other 2 are self isolating due to displaying covid symtoms. The 2 locums we use are also self isolating. Mmmm, ok I will take myself off to A & E, Hello is that abcd taxis? Yes where do you want to go? A & E, yeah no problem there is a 6 hour wait though is that ok? 6 hours? yeah most of our drivers are off sick with covid. Oh ok i'll wait. 8 hours later at A & E. OMG its closed, Knock Knock on door. Why are you closed? limited access mate, we are on skeleton staff due to covid and have very limited beds and space. Do you see where I am going with that?

butlers Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I do wonder what choices are going to be available if no vaccine turns up by spring. Short of " sending to Eyam" the 2 million was it who are highly vunerable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
