Sweden why can they get it woohoo wrong

I have never seen the 28 day measure used for other viruses such as colds or flu because the UK has never been locked down because of these viruses.

Correct, because we've never had the massive over reaction we're currently experiencing.

Historically if someone has flu on the 1st of a month and dies on the 15th in an accident flu was not considered a contributory cause. Yet if the same happens now with a positive Covid test on the 1st - even if asympomatic - it's a Covid death.

It's scandalous.

Are you sure that is right Deeranged? It seems so silly I wonder if it correct?

It is right. Look at the small print when the numbers are being announced - death by any cause where there was a positive Covid test within the preceding 28 days.

The silliness is what makes it so scandalous.
