I think that all the excess death are relatd to Corona. What else ? And that the Corona statistics is wrong. Deaths are not classified correct.

The Truth will always at the end reveal the underbelly of the deceit that is carried out by those who seek to divide and rule.
To those who still truly believe their government is looking out for their best interest, reclaim your power (and sanity) back quickly before they push you further down the garbage chute.
If the endless list of farcical & comical regulations by our authorities do not convince you to think otherwise. I don't know what will.
On a given Saturday , perhaps you're still up to walking into a restaurant with a mask on, to then sit down and take it off for 1 hour whilst you finish your meal and still fear you might get the covid virus that gives you a 99.9% chance of survival ?
...whoops sorry, you can't even have lunch in a restaurant on Saturday anymore ;-)
There goes my favourite restaurant guillotined into oblivion having been put on their knees all these months.
Reminds me to tell you my fellow citizens, the freedoms you have enjoyed in a democracy have now been completely eroded ! Having fun yet ?
Oh yes one last thing, they might be letting out the prisoners soon due to increasing covid cases in the penitentiary.
Maybe you should be scared now ?

What did the other six thousand above average die of?

Yes, just your daily reminder that 4000-6000 die every flu season in Portugal. No flu deaths this year, and COVID killed 2,500 in one season. Shocking! And yet... we have excess deaths. Could it be that locking people at home is depriving them of vitamin D, thereby suppressing their immune systems? Could it be these people have poorer diets because they can hardly afford to go to the supermarket? Could it be people are afraid to go to the hospital? Nope, the deadly virus with a completely normal IFR is to blame!
