Re: Coronavirus
It does. I have major reservations about the way transmission rates are being compiled, to be honest.

It’s the same with number of deaths. We have been very ‘generous’ with the number of deaths due to Covid. If Covid is detected on admission to hospital, if they die the record records it as a Covid death, even if they died of something else. Deaths due to Covid in care homes and in the community are recorded too, but other countries are not recording the same. Some only record hospital deaths.

Because we all calculate numbers in different ways, it is absolutely pointless to compare country by country, and yet even professional people who should know better do this.

We really are our own worst enemy sometimes.
