Yes, indeed. The other thing is who is in the 20,000? Anyone that tested positive?

Or those that died as a consequence of having it?

Really, the important stat must be incremental deaths over the period I think, so looking at how many people normally die in any given year, and how many additional deaths have occurred.

I don’t think it’s counting every single person that died having tested positive.
