A play on numbers

So just to follow-up on my previous post, I did walk 1 658 932 steps before 1st September. Yaaay...

I can see that a lot of new collaborative research projects are coming up. And of course there is a large comorbidity with Covid-19/Corona virus and other underlying diseases, like my diabetes.

What I actually was thinking about is how different countries report on cause of death. If a person with diabetes dies with Corona virus present - is this reported as death by Corona virus or by diabetes? This play on numbers is a hugh reason to why some countries now seem to have no deaths at all from the present pandemic.

Sweden has one of the highest death rates per capita but we are also almost the only country that has remained open and almost functioning as usual although many are working from home. So maybe we won’t get a second wave or at least not as big as other countries will cause we’ve had a steady stream of sickness progression from the virus with everyone still moving around and not in isolation.

We actually don’t have a massive corruption in our gouvernment and as with everything within the gouverment founded operations - the gouverment is transparent. Every document is available and there really isn’t anywhere to hide, that’s why we feel comfortable knowing that our numbers, our statistics, are correct. 

Do you?
