The Covid report will be written this year. Another inaccurate calculation on your part.....

It is a big problem, because there is a huge grey area. For example, if you have a chronic illness such as COPD, catch Covid, get hospitalised and die, have you died of Covid, or just with it? There is no clear answer.
If people have died because they couldn't get an operation due to attention of hospitals being diverted elsewhere, it is not a Covid death. Excess deaths include many deaths which are not due to Covid, so again, this is at best an indicator.

Yes, the conspiracy theorists choose to ignore the fact that the review was due to take place anyway. Beware Hugh's biassed fact checker service!
