We have been through the excess winter deaths story - most are not due to flu.
From Chris Giles, Economics Editor, FT:
"We should recognise that Covid-19 is linked to around 75,000 UK deaths since mid March, not the wholly fictious government number of 52,147.
@BBCNews
and others should stop using that figure. The fact it is written down daily on a government website doesn't make it true."
