And the second the cameras stop rolling, he'll be inhaling the contents of a Fortnum and Mason hamper.
Because it’s all staged. There was a journalist who filmed it in action a year or two ago. He got out his car around the corner from where the media pack was waiting, put on his shorts and trainers and ran about 40 yards to the entrance. We were then presented in the papers with images of him enjoying one of his runs. It may even have been the time he’d been photographed running in a shirt, tie, jacket and shorts.
I don't think that particular theory is valid. For example when an old person dies it might be that they have cancer but pneumonia kills them, they have a weak heart but influenza actually delivers the coup de grace. With the best will in the world someone who dies when infected with COVID could actually meet their maker via heart failure, respiratory problems or even dehydration. So was it COVID that was the cause of death or heart failure? Without COVID, they live on and without the weak heart too. Impossible to say which in many/most cases.
He wouldn't care any more after all that than he did before it. He's a narcissist and his only thought ever is for himself.
I agree with Muttley.
The NHS was overwhelmed and unable to carry out its customary post-mortem process. The sheer number of bodies to be processed, together with the need to focus medical resources on the sick, meant the post-mortem process was necessarily fairly cursory. I was told this then by a friend who was an A&E doctor at the time. Their instructions were to sign off with any known underlying condition plus a 'with covid' qualifier, without further investigation unless something was obviously amiss. Nothing sinister - just prioritising treatment of the living. As you say, excess deaths are probably the best measure.
