A covid 19 study seroprevalence study just published estimates 304915 covid deaths through November 5   That is about a a 25 %   increase over  the  240,000  deaths officially  reported.  This is very important  in our community since surges of Alzheimer’s patient  attributed to other causes (loneliness etc.)   may simply have been misattributed Covid deaths.
