You probably didn't hear about that, because sometime in the last five weeks or so the media completely stopped using the word "Deaths", and started talking only about "Cases".
A "Case" is anyone who tests positive for Sars-Cov-2, using the notoriously unreliable PCR tests which produce huge numbers of false positives.
Even supposing the positive test is real, the vast majority of "Cases" are asymptomatic.
Between false positives, unreliable tests and asymptomatic infection, a "Case" count for sars-cov-2 is borderline meaningless.
Well, even the vast majority of the "Symptomatic cases" will only ever be mildly ill.
In fact of the 6 million active cases in the world, only 1% are considered severely ill.
There's talk of "Local lockdown" in Birmingham, because of a "Sudden increase in cases", but we get no details on the numbers are, or if that's translating into any kind illness, let alone deaths.
