We can agree to disagree but it’s a different metric, just as excess deaths is a different metric, suspected Covid is a different metric.
The 28 day count doesn’t relate to the death certs - even still 180,000 is the figure there.
Nobody would claim nobody has ever died of HIV or AIDS because it’s pneumonia that usually gets them or other condition arising from immunodeficiency that they wouldn’t have had without HIV/AIDS.
Minimising the impact of COVID to only those who died as a result of COVID alone is absurd - as demonstrated by the extremely low figures of such cases.
I’ll say no more on it as the level of detail is veering off topic.
