John Hopkins only shows 85,000. (worldometers.info/coronavirus/)
But then again, they "only" count those that ALREADY had tested positive, within 28days of the death.
And only count them, if the direct cause was corona and not indirectly ect ect.
(they refuse to count post death, if they wheren't tested before, and refuse to test corpses (even if doctors are like 99.9% sure its covid))
They applied these rules, and "dismissed" alot of deaths, at some point (end of first wave?), to reduce how badly the UK was doing (looked to be doing).
But thats a mile stone to hit.
100k is alot of people (~0,2% of population? of UK).
USA is soon gonna hit 400,000+ offical dead too (its 6k away from it now, and every day theres another ~4100 dead).
(real number probably closer to 600,000+)
At some point, those "its just a flu, bro" people, will have to accept this thing is differnt from a flu.
