    The excess death numbers have their limits but they help correct some of the flaws of other ways of counting. They needed to be added into the mix in calculating the scale of the pandemic.https://twitter.com/J_CD_T/status/1245739661449977867 …

        Meanwhile the conspiracy theorists (mostly on the right) are starting the “numbers are inflated” calls 🙄

        Places which have been locked down for longer periods probably do have more deaths because people don't necessarily have access to routine care and support. On the other hand, I'm sure the govt is loath to waste a coveted corona test on a dead body (instead of a live one).

        A lot of these will be regular heavy users of hospitals, disabled people, people on dialysis , people with heart issues, who don’t have Covid19, but don’t have their regular access to medical care, due to the strain on the system
