To put in context: in the last 8 weeks of registrations, 1,117 cases have featured COVID-19 on the death certificate, and in ~25% of cases it was not underlying cause. Excess deaths in the home not featuring COVID-19 on the death certificate have been *five times higher* at 5,556

Perhaps this isn& #39;t anything to worry about and perhaps people are being supported to die at home in line with their wishes, but it seems to me that there are potentially worrying interpretations of this that would be worth investigating.

I kind of hoped I wouldn& #39;t have to say this but because it& #39;s impossible to put anything out now about covid before clowns of all stripes pick up on it 1) this does not mean that covid is an innocuous killer and 2) it does not mean small numbers cannot grow https://twitter.com/danielhowdon/status/1308324431299784705">https://twitter.com/danielhow...
