No football this year

Each country has its own set of specific issues to deal with and none can be compared.

Even the counting seems to be different.

I think they only way is to take total deaths for this year compared to average for the last few years.

Up to last week there's been around 16000 deaths for this year over and above the 5 year average.

The next weekly figs are out tomorrow.

I still find it staggering the daily death toll does not include care homes ,I know all of them won’t be covid related but it will certainly contribute significantly,just makes me trust our government even less if that’s possible irrespective of it was Tory or Labour....
