In fact the actual death count is likely to be a lot higher than 150,000, rather than lower as these are deaths within 28 days of a positive test, which is a bit arbitrary when on average deaths have occurred at the 35 day mark and this isn't taking into account deaths where no test has been undertaken. And I would disagree that excess deaths isn't going to be helpful, as it reflects more broadly the wider knock on impact of Covid on the UK population.</blockquote>
