Aeddan asks:
Corona has a 2.3% fatality rate. Killing mostly people with underlying health problems. How many of these people would of died anyway from something else over the next 6months/year?
Anyone know how much the coronavirus might be affecting life expectancy?

No one knows as of yet, flu mortality rates vary quite widely too so there going to have to be an approximation of how many less have died of flu because of corona virus.
