Dying With, Dying Of

1820 deaths. The highest ever, for the second day in succession. 93,000 in all. Yet Boris Johnson is surrounded by the people who said that it was a hoax, that it was only the flu, and all that. "Dying with, not dying of," as if that made them sound clever. Suggestions that doctors were being paid extra to certify deaths from old age as deaths from Covid-19. Blowhard insistence that it was all going to be over in a few weeks. 

Whatever else Lord Sumption may be, he has very little political or media experience, so he has airily let the eugenic cat out of the bag. Johnson was directly employed by that sort until the day that he became Prime Minister. He will be so again, from the day that he had ceased to be Prime Minister. Hence the premature lifting of the first lockdown. It all stems from that. When we have arrived at 100,000 deaths, well within a week from now, then it will be because of that.
