Sorry about your dad Westy, but it's a bit dismissive of you to fob-off even a glance at the stats, especially the projections; it's just about having some idea about what 'might' happen, not a crystal ball to know the future, so your pinch of salt is built-in I'd say. And it's maybe not a fair comparison that the local hospital wasn't aware of your father's death (how many years ago?) and global stats on the pandemic.
