Meanwhile, and more importantly, it’s just been revealed that the UK’s official hospitalised from covid stats have consistently been over-inflated, with about 25% of all the published numbers having been bogus:
"One in four patients classed as a Covid hospitalisation is being treated for other reasons, official data reveal, prompting claims that the public has been misled.
For the first time, the NHS national stocktake establishes how many patients categorised as Covid hospitalisations had another primary cause of admission. The data shows that of 5,021 patients this week classed as hospitalised by Covid, 1,166 were admitted for other reasons.
On Thursday night, Tory MPs accused the Government of making “flawed decisions based on misleading data”, with leading scientists questioning why the true picture was only now beginning to emerge.
[…] As a result, those in hospital for different reasons, such as a broken leg, who might otherwise never have known they had picked up the virus, are counted in the hospitalisation statistics along with those suffering severe illness due to Covid.
[…] The split has remained constant since, with around one one in four Covid cases admitted primarily for other reasons. "
