[QUOTE="Not Mike Brown's Sock, post: 1068835, member: 72041"] I'm not saying it's an easy thing, so the current metric with that caveat is the best we've got - it's the kind of thing we'll find out in a decade or so ig. With current hospitalisation numbers being close to 50/50 not even knowing they have Covid / going in for it, you'd assume deaths are also massively inflated by it. Again, it's a complicated thing to work out and not something we'll know for a long time but over the entirety of the Pandemic, we've learned towards over reporting deaths. Even using excess deaths isn't going to be particularly helpful at this point as you then have to make the distinction between Covid deaths and Covid response deaths (suicides, missed health appointments etc) [/QUOTE]
