ANALYSIS: 'Excess deaths' paint a picture of the true impact of coronavirus

The UK Government is now going back through the records to add in thousands of nursing home deaths.

As a result of just the first batch of nursing home deaths being added, the UK now has the third most deaths officially reported of any country, up from fifth yesterday.

Other patients with completely unrelated conditions may also be missing out on treatment as hospitals strain under the load. "We haven't yet done any studies on it, but anecdotally there is evidence that people are avoiding going to hospital even though they've got acute coronary events or have suffered a stroke or really do need to get to an emergency department," Professor Lopez said.What you need to know about coronavirus:

Global coronavirus distancing, PPE rules for health workers insufficient, review finds - ABC NewsInternational guidelines on social distancing in hospitals and other healthcare facilities are based on outdated research from the 1940s, according to a scientific review by Australian and US authors. They didn't have Mythbusters & photography back then! ;) 😁 Can Australia please STOP listening to corrupt WHO including following stupid 'social distancing' rule which has zero evidence. WHO is the reason cv19 is widespread as their assertions only cause more harm than good. WHO is complicit in 'crimes against humanity'.
