Some interesting data in here. These are the newer adjusted figures, the old counts had no limit on time after positive test to death (you could die years after test and still count as Covid), the limit is now 28 days but you could still get hit by a bus on day 27 and still counts as Covid death.
If you look at the age/condition tab - the number of deaths for the under 60's with no underlying condition to date of report is still around 300. Even with the older ones added the total is around 1,400. |
I doubt there is any panic buying of Turkeys. We won't have reached the peak level of supply yet, and are people really going to take up so much freezer space for something to be used in 3 months time? Probably used as a cheap alternative.
