Viikko sitten Skotlannissa kuolleisuus oli 30% normaalia suurempi. Korona selitää näistä vain kolmasosan. Ja nyt Skotlannissa kuumeisesti mietitään, mikä on pielessä.....
Deaths in Scotland were 30% above the five-year average last week, despite a fall in Covid-related deaths.

The National Records of Scotland said 1,353 deaths from all causes were registered in the week to 10 October.
This was 315 more than the average for the same week from 2015 to 2019, and the highest rate of "excess" deaths since the first week of January 2021.
These included deaths linked to cancer, heart disease and dementia.
This comes even as the number of deaths where Covid was mentioned in the registration fell for the second consecutive week, to 126.
