Sadly people die all the time.
We are in the middle of a moderately severe 'winter flu season' (in the old sense of the phrase), we have an NHS that has done little for non-covid patients over the last 10 months, we have a population that has been weakened both physically and mentally by lockdown rules.
In any recent year, in similar circumstances, 2000+ people will die each day at this time of the year, the NHS and the government will continue to massage these numbers to keep up the fear factor.
Otherwise sensible people seem paralysed by fear, there are plenty of questions that should be asked but are not, Johnson and his cronies can not believe their luck.
