I haven’t said COVID did or didn’t contribute to those deaths. It will have done in the vast majority of cases.
But there will be % margin of error - we just don’t know what that is.

The 100,000 figure is what we’ve got, but that actual number may be less and it quite possibly may be more.

We may never know what the real total is.
