Not true. Underlying health issues are being counted as part of the statistical analysis but it doesn't matter if they were 'heading that way' - if the virus is the cause of their
premature death, then it's a valid count.
You do realise we're all 'heading that way' don't you?

A depression is going to have an even greater impact on mortality rates but wont be seen till until 50-90 years down the track.

I guess that depends on how long you think it will take to reach the 28 day zero new case mark. I would have said it should be less than 6 months to achieve that but then you get cluster outbreaks like the NSW nursing home that then screws with the stats.
