Anthony Yarde's father dies with coronavirus - Anthony Yarde's father dies with coronavirus
I thought the death rate was supposed to be around 2% nice to the UK doing better at 6.3% according to those figures.
R.I.P. Mr Yarde. Article seems more interested in his next fight rather than mention his Dads name.
The official figures are very vague. If you look closely at the wording they usually say "died with the coronavirus", not 'of'. What this means is that those who died had the virus but it wasn't necessarily the virus that killed them, though it may have been the last straw.
Looking at the figures on the Worldometer site, Germany's death rate is less than half that of the UK - and the UK's figures are already artificially low (i.e. only deaths that occur in hospital are being counted - not nursing homes etc.). Perhpas the Germans are even more adept at massaging the figures or maybe they are better equipped to deal with it.
Agree 100%. And I honestly think (hope?) there won't be the spike we're supposed to expect.I think all countries are counting differently and records therefore are all open to speculation, we will only get a true idea on the impact next year when annual mortality rates are presented and you can see a true like for like analysis.
