Fair enoug, bv. Concerning the numbers of deaths caused by the virus, the only fact I know is, that in our country in the first five official cases of death it was officially said, that the cause of death was most likely not the coronavirus. Those 5 cases are from the very start part of the "total deaths" column on worldometers. Such thing was never discussed since then. Since then we only get the numbers of deaths. It is up to everyone to believe or not to believe the accuracy. I am not saying one or the other, since I don't know. Though of course, I have my opinion. Which again, can be wrong...

There are increasing numbers of academics and journalists questioning why anyone displaying symptons, even with other more severe life threatening conditions, are being attributed to covid 19 deaths. John Waters, Irish journalist and reputable, discussed the UK document on how to attribute cause of death in a crisis - if covid 19 is present in any form, even mildly, and the patient dies, with underlying serious conditions, that can be attributed solely to Covid 19. I find this incredible, as these figures are being utilised by governments to impose severe restrictions.
If the death rate of 10% was factual, the numbers of fatally ill that would equate to, it would be manifestly observable when you step foot outside your door.
There seems to no distinction, in many countries, not all, betweem dying with covid 19 as opposed to dying from covid 19.
It is at least worth questioning, is it not?

The problem is the categorisation. The article from John Ioannidis at Stanford goes some way to explain. An open lettet to the German Government recently (I will try and locate it) from a Senior reiterates those same concerns of mis-categorisation. It is vital as draconian measures are being implemented based on this data and the models that derive from it. Its at least worth considering.

- Covid-19 may be in 40% to 50% of the population without symptoms
- Lock down is highly effective, within 3-4 weeks
Now the big challenge is what's next of course, after lock down.
