I'm inclined to agree ...have yu noticed that they are declaring 50- 60 new deaths each day but are saying that some occured in December and the rest occured in January
Which really is a departure from wat they did before Christmas which was to declare the number of deaths for each day .....
This new way means they are being very vaugue and are actually telling us fuk all .....
Wider way they up to

so it was the fact that he was already riddled he died.
it wasn't the flu that killed him.

The Mortality rate is about .85% or 8 people per thousand who catch the virus will die before Christmas the Infection rate was about 2000 people a day with around 16 deaths and as Number of infections grew so did the death rate .The interesting thing is the death rate remained constant at around 8.5 % even though new infections were among a younger fitter cohort .This disease seems to operate to a mathematical certainty which is odd you would expect huge peaks and dips in the death rate dependent on who gets it and their age but the figures seem to remain constant .Make you wonder if somebody in Nefet or HSE simply attributes number of deaths from the virus pro rata to number of recorded infections .

I often skim through R.I.P.i.e. " Suddenly,  or Suddenly after a short illness " says it all.

Silver here is one for you I got from a Nurse .The Private hospitals who dont treat Covid Patients were getting the Vaccine for their staff while HSE hospitals treating Covid were left waiting .Nurse recons if the vaccinate all the staff in Covid Hospitals they might become complacent and cut back in sanitation and distancing so by only treating Staff that directly come in contact with Covid patients they maintain vigilance .Makes Sense I suppose.

Rational,  if underhanded.  Beaumont hospital is a renowned petrie  dish for viruses.
People reckoned that if the Nuns were back running the hospitals they'd be spotless and germ free.
