I find the longer term projections curious, no deaths from June onwards, I can't work out if that is modeled with social distancing still in place or 'business as usual'.

Edit/ Useful info in the FAQs

Also remember that there is no way that all deaths attributed to Covid 19 are actually caused by it, as in some cases it may exist but other factors caused the death.

That is likely also but to a lesser degree. Are you talking about particular examples or just in general?

As sick as it might sound there is going to be some really interesting data to analyse once the dust has settled. Deaths caused by Covid-19 that have not been attributed to Covid-19 is something that can be estimated based on historic data but likely never fully understood because we weren't testing widely enough.
