I want to open a store in Hong Kong.

Not at all. There are two figures used and the ‘deaths by any cause with a positive test within 28 days’ is the one used in the daily updates and in all the analysis of lockdown measures, etc. (https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk)

There is another figure with a lag of at least a week for ‘deaths where there is any mention of COVID on the death certificate’.  This is a bigger number (about 60,000 rather than about 50,000). 
Average age of death in either method is about the same at 84 years. This is 2 years older than the average age of death without the involvement of Covid.

Audio2design,

What are the odds on viral particles that are transferred from the air onto your eyes or from your hands into your eyes, nose or mouth?

"Deaths by any cause" counted as deaths by covid. Do they think you're stupid?

Strange thing, when you are wearing a mask, there is a natural barrier that prevents your hands from touching your nose or your mouth.  You will have to use some self control not to touch your eyes.

There is a pathway through the eyes, but, as your eyes don't breath, the amount of air they are exposed to is a very very small fraction of that your air passages are exposed to.

bluemoodriver,

I may get to those statistics a little later, but the truth is that due to the nature of infection and response to it, most of the deaths with positive Coronavirus test will, in fact, be triggered by infection.

In the meantime, it is informative to read how deaths are actually certified. You might be surprised that it is not what some would want you to believe. There is some thinking involved.
