It doesn't make sense that they would be doing this though. The numbers don't add up.
Over 50,000 more people have now died in the last couple of months than in the same period last year or the year before or the year before that (I think it may be a lot more than 50,000 now actually). We know that about 33,000 of them are Covid-19. What about the rest?
They're certainly not over reporting the numbers linked to Covid-19. There will be a lot more. It's pretty obvious that a lot of the deaths that are yet to be explained will be Covid-19
