    Looks like very poor reporting. Perhaps fake news even.
    It's true that it's a highly nuanced topic, but the underlying epidemiological definitions would be very clear. And of the upmost importance that it is internationally being applied as good as possible. Otherwise, the data is meaningless and research is useless. You can bet your life that plenty of researchers (and the WHO) have been and are looking at this like hawks. 
    Without knowing the underlying epidemiological definitions, this article is worthless and pure speculation. Perhaps to get people to believe it's all a hoax. 
    Also, the presented argument isn't very strong either. Yes, people don't die "from" Covid-19. They die because of complications related to Covid-19. And especially when comorbidities are involved.
    If there are comorbidities, it's hard to say whether a person died because of disease X or Y. That's a given. Within the current circumstances though, the question soon becomes whether a patient would have these complications (with this severity) without Covid-19. Here you'd also have an argument about, well, lets say these complications might have existed before Covid-19, but suddenly became much more severe. Resulting in death. There's still an argument here where you could safely argue this death should be counted as Covid-19 related. Because otherwise, the impact of treatment might have been completely different.
    Here's another mindfucker: if patient X dies of an untreated stroke (no Covid-19). And it's untreated because all physicians were busy treating Covid-19 patients and made a conscious choice not to treat patient X because of this, would you count this death under Covid-19? I'm sure that's a no, but really, this needs some thinking is not obvious when you think about it.
    it's a no, i'd argue, because you want to assess the risk of dying to covid-19 by counting all patients with covid-19. including those with comorbidities, btw.
    In short: looks like poor reporting to me.

    all of the things they have reported were also reported in The Telegraph as well, just with a more muted headline.

    Some context for the linked article including daily updates.

    Same thing planned in UK. Emergency legislation (unscrutinised), to last for 2 yrs - and will not be reviewed at all in that period. 

    Potentially commencing middle of next week. 

    Powers to arrest, detain indefinitely and relocation of people "suspected" of being infected. And a lot more.

    An album would be welcome while we’re all hunkered down but financially maybe that wouldn’t make sense for them to release it given people’s munny circumstances. Not even them so much, warp would probably sit on it...

    Hype reacts only pls

    Amsterdam is eerie as fuck right now. It was announced about 17:30 that  would shut down at 18:00, for at least 3 weeks. City centre is dead as fuck. Only the prostitutes and beer shops are open for business. Proper dystopian scifi vibes.
