COVID deaths are replacing deaths from other causes in the data. Since 15th Jan, 37% of COVID labelled deaths were misattributed non-COVID deaths. In week ending 19th Feb it was nearly half of COVID labelled deaths.
Replying to @ClareCraigPath
For this to be true you only have to believe a) that a very substantial part of the population has been exposed and fought it off without illness b) PCR test picks up non-infectious recovered people. Both of these are true. Thus many deaths of any cause are labelled covid.
