I meant to add - that article in LC was excellent - I knew that registrars work from a list but hadn't realised the list was used world wide.

I suppose the answer to that would be "neither did the fire, you fool!"
the explanation about how death certificates are written and why they are done like that was excellent. A lot different from those we all have from earlier times with 'Act of God' or 'Old Age' as the single cause!

Agreed. Read that yesterday and I thought it was well explained. Also a very good reason to be careful with petitions.

Discusses why COVID-19 is NOT written on the death certificate as the main cause of death. Great explanation on how the coding on death certs is worked out and why.
