The problem with comparing with flu... is that we still have flu as well. This is extra, not instead of.
However, I personally know of two people who have died in the last month, not with covid (one had it and recovered), but because their treatments were stopped in March.
One of our clients actually had, was treated in hospital and recovered from covid, but died later from kidney failure, as her dialysis had been stopped.
So, there have been deliberate- or at least, knowing and not treating, deaths as well. Is it better to die from cancer or kidney failure than covid?
Whichever way you look at it, we are allowing people to die, in the prevention of possibly saving others.
