100 deaths per day is 350,000 per year. That will show up in the worsening population decline stats.

Would be good if they could give some information on variants. If there is a new wave coming, what is causing it? Would be good to know, especially if the new variants are milder. Sounds like they might be preparing to ask people again to refrain from large indoor gatherings. Seems a bit pointless since many people take crowded trains etc.

Actually, it probably improves things, given the demographics of those dying from COVID.

So NoNads, sounds like you’re advocating for euthanasia? Or that the untimely deaths from Covid is a good thing? As long as they’re just grandparents???
