Yes I agree, but many people just bandy about the 40000+ figure like those are the deaths on top of what would normally be expected which they are not. Many will be because of the virus and many may also be as a consequence of some of the measures put in place to try to deal with it.
Until all the dust settles in a few years or so and proper research into ALL the figures is completed then no one knows for sure. And perhaps never will.
The excess deaths figure for the UK,the rest of Europe and worldwide is currently about double what is normal for this time of year.That gives you a reasonably accurate figure for deaths directly attributable to Covid-19,I think.So say 20,000+ for the UK (and rising).
