Is the official COVID-19 death count too low? Funeral directors, EMS workers say yes

We're fixated on the official data, which is bad enough. But we may be missing a bigger and more lethal picture


The anti-vax, covid-19 conspiracists on twitter are saying that the government is lying about the amount of Covid-19 deaths. They say the government is mixing flu deaths into the figures, and that if people die of something else, like heart disease, but have COVID-19, then it is counted as a Covid-19 death. They say the amount is deaths is no higher than average.

We believe the government is massaging the figures. 
The undertakers know there is something fishy going on. The funeral business is booming.

The official data is not that bad, and this is causing pushback.

Tory government now admitted death rate to coronavirus cases worst in Europe. Highly unlikely though to admit government is monopoly supplier of reserves and the implications thereof! Let's hope Hayek and Friedman are now spinning in their graves!
