Liverpool University Trust has had the most COVID deaths since September of any NHS trust. From 01/09/20 until 25/10/20 there have been 140 & #39;COVID& #39; deaths. This is 27% of all the COVID deaths since March. No excess mortality.

Here are some hypotheses:
a) these are not COVID deaths but misdiagnoses
b) COVID is killing people who would have died otherwise and beating influenza to it. The new & #39;old man& #39;s friend& #39; that was influenza.
c) People are dying with COVID not of COVID

I think it& #39;s a.

The other explanations require quite big leaps in our understanding of how infectious diseases spread and kill people.
