The CECC have really excelled themselves with that data point.

I hope they at least gave him/her a poke to confirm they were dead before putting them in the mortuary cabinet.

[FairComment]

Maybe they are scared, due to the woke wars, not to assume the deceased’s gender, or sex. Or age. Or vaccine doses? WTF.

[DrewC]

18k on the nose? Have we ever gotten a clean number like that before?

[Andrew]

It’s also strange that they couldn’t have waited a day or two to find out that info before adding him/her to the death list, given that the reporting dates don’t mean all that much and it’s already been 3.5 months.

Maybe they are scared, due to the woke wars, not to assume the deceased’s gender, or sex. Or age. Or vaccine doses? WTF.

Nah. It’s not that. At the beginning of February the CECC no longer gives specific details as to case number, exact age, symptoms or cause of death.

So, I’ve provided the only information I can glean. Date of diagnosis and date of death for a ridiculously late report.

18k on the nose? Have we ever gotten a clean number like that before?

First time. But highly inaccurate anyway. A thrown dart could give similar results.

That just makes the data even less trustworthy.

Are we the only country left still holding daily pressers?

I’d be surprised if that hasn’t been the case since at least the start of 2022, maybe even 2021…

Have any other countries even been doing that?

Are we the only country that allows individual principals to decide on mask mandates? We will be in March.
