The statistics are not 'skewed'. They are all totally inaccurate and can only be used as a guide to the direction of casualties rather than any guide to actual numbers.
The reasons for that statement are as follows:
1) We have no idea what the incidence of Covid is in the population as a whole, because we are not doing any population sampling and testing.
2) The only deaths that seem to be counted are hospital deaths. There are, as we know, many deaths in Care Homes and some at home, that are not being properly counted into the figures.
3) Covid is being given as a cause of death where anyone has the virus in their body, regardless of whether they have devloped the disease, remember it has in incubation stage of up to a week. For example when my father died of heart disease, he also had early stage bladder cancer, which played no part in his death and is not mentioned on his death certificate. So people could actually be dying from cancer, heart attacks or strokes, but being listed as dying of Covid, merely because the virus is present - and this needs to be noted because it controls how the body was treated after death.
So, in fact, we have no idea how many people have or have had Covid and we have no idea how many have died from it. All we can say is that they are predominantly elderly and have other medical conditions.
We will not have any idea of how many have died from Covid until we have the figures for total deaths over the months, say March - August this year and compare them with the average for, say, the last five years.
