gollark: We don't know how many people are actually infected and sometimes the deaths get confused with other things.
gollark: We don't actually *know* what it is, and it probably varies based on... stuff, so it's not exact.
gollark: The UK is mostly-lockdowned too, and schools closed a while ago, so I basically get a 5-and-a-half-month school holiday during which I still have to do work.
