Not to my knowledge (and I was working in Malaysia for a couple of months at the time). The annual flu go around is always deadly, some years worse than others, Government reactions - Get a jab (but a suitable strain of vaccine might not be available). Does the flu bother us usually? No, of course it doesn't. Do peeps panic? No, of course we don't, we all take it in our stride and get on with life.
To sum up, yes, a goodly number of extra people have died than would be expected but, because of the media onslaught, I think things have got out of hand and caused most governments to over-react.
Imo of course!
Donkeyman! 🤔🤔

Re: Falsified death figures?
What I heard others claim is that hospitals and old folks homes get far more money from insurance if the people die from Covid19 . $13,000 dollars more and $39,000 more if they were placed on a ventilator so like most things, it’s about MONEY!!! It’s pathetic if it’s true and I believe it is.
