> he years of life lost to COVID-19 is minuscule - many deaths are simply "pulled forward" by 6 months or a year. Imagine your aunt is being transported to the hospice and there is a road traffic accident and she dies in that accident. What killed her, the RTA or her failing liver? Imagine she gets to the hospice safely, and a negligent nurse gives her a triple dose of some medication and she dies. What killed her, the failing liver or the incompetent nurse? People seem to misunderstand how cause of death is worked out. > he years of life lost to COVID-19 is minuscule - many deaths are simply "pulled forward" by 6 months or a year. We know from the first wave that covid-19 was killing people on average 11 years before they would have died otherwise. |
