By William Mathis (Bloomberg) — The UK will soon offer new licenses to explore areas of its seabed for oil and gas, but even if the drilling is successful it probably.
The definition of a coronavirus death used by the Brits is a death for any reason within 28 days of a positive coronavirus test. So someone who dies from stroke or heart attack or diabetes or cancer or is run over by a bus within 28 days of a positive test counts as a coronavirus death. There are quite a few more total deaths in England each day than those counted by the coronavirus deaths. So more tests will lead to more deaths being captured by the within 28 days rule.
So, suppose for a moment, just for the sake of argument, that the incidence of coronavirus in the population at large is constant or only increasing slowly. Could the large increase in the coronavirus stats be partially or even largely due to the increased number of tests? Discuss.
