Its not gonna be a conspiracy where healthcare workers are conspiring to gerrymander the cause of deaths to Covid18. That is not reality. Healthcare workers are just normal people with hard jobs. Nobody can refute your friend of a friend's account without more info, but there's a few things possible... 1. COVID is a severe respiratory infection, which hospitalizes many and is particularly lethal for people with preexisting conditions. High blood pressure, diabetes, asthma etc. If you have high blood pressure, get a severe case of COVID, are hospitalised, on a ventilator and ultimately your heart gives out first, is that complete fabrication and bullshit if that death is recorded as a COVID death? I'd suggest not. Because ultimately what the health services are trying to get a handle on and build an accurate data set is how many people are dying because of COVID, that wouldn't otherwise have died. Recording that data accurately will give accurate data to then be able to gauge the potential impact if the virus ripped through the community en masse. 2. Possibly there is a two tier system for moving bodies out through the hospital system due to the temporary arrangements in place to manage the Covid situation. It may actually be that a COVID body gets out faster. If someone said the only way to get the body out quicker is if they died of COVID that could be a true statement said with grim humour, or an outrageously dumb serious suggestion. Or its evidence of a global conspiracy which a fuck ton of good honest healthcare workers would need to be in on. Your Sweden issue. It's about an eighth the size of the UK. It's biggest city a tenth the size of London. It's one of the least densely populated countries in Europe (see first image). Those things determine the rate of spread along with the usual factors like level of lockdown etc. Bottom line the best basis for comparison to Sweden is with other Scandinavian countries which have adopted lockdown arrangements more aligned with the rest of Europe. See image 2 for that.

Spent most of the afternoon fitting a blind in my daughters bedroom and noticed my neighbour out doing the garden topless... took me a while to get the thing to fit and every time I looked out the window all I could see was two wobbly boobs on show... Just wish his wife was more into gardening than he is..

I swear we are the only country to arrest all of our presidents as well as Super Mario.

Still doesn't beat @nudge's favourites though, the smurfs:-

We are utterly pathetic

This is a positive sign. Starmer's QC approach in the crisis is landing well with swing voters and even some quarters of the conservative backing press. This latest is an indication that he's coming to be considered a threat. The early weeks he was palmed off as being boring and a candidate of continuity remain to enough of a degree that he wasn't taken seriously. The crisis is a chance to build a reputation outside of the polarised world that came before it.

More in the south and south east. Basically from Swansea to Newport and the surrounding valleys are the main density areas. The north has Wrexham and other towns but not as much as the south. I read somewhere that my area (Rhondda-Cynon-Taff) apparently has the highest amount of cases per 100k population in the UK, let alone Wales. However, that might have changed since then. Here's the death chart based on health board area.

While Wales has had its fair share of deaths, looking at the country by health board area shows that mid and west Wales has much less deaths.

Not just taken the tweet down, fully legged it from Twitter .

Career mode is for the weak who tell themselves how good they are by beating a computer but can’t handle getting beat off real people like TF365’s fifa king(for over a decade) - yours truly.

The one that looks like this?

Toonlass and the Burnley fan who were blatantly the same person.

I miss Liverbird, Cannabis, and Dr. Boris Gobshite.
