Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
In that case something needs to be explained - why the %age big difference?
Assuming the death stats data are relatively reliable & there is no reason why the CE area death rate from confirmed cases should be so much higher locally %age wise then one must conclude that the confirmed CE infection number must be in serious doubt i.e. much bigger or? .....
