Number of Deaths

[Mellotron]

More people died in March 2019 and 2018 than they did in 2020. A good video source here;

April will be the better guide. Still, interesting info though.

Have a look here - it will be updated tomorrow, but still be a good few days behind. You won't find anything more accurate.

Very fair point - and sorry to hear about what sounds like a very rough couple of years in your family

It was rough and depressing but not unexpected.
I feel truly sorry for all those that have loved ones in the at risk group. My parents dying was the natural order of things, whereas now certainly isn’t.

Their views sicken me, as does the power they now have in The States, Hungary and Russia, so I make a point of never coming across their bile. That’s includes ’s Fox News.

And yet another thread gets hijacked by political bullshit.

I was amazed to read that in average year 51,000 people would die in the UK in March...

I would also like to know how many of the current stated deaths were “caused” by Covid-19 and not just it being evident.

I would also like to know what “underlying conditions” actually have contributed to the current deaths...

Not just morbid interest...

And presumably with our population increasing 52,000 being born.

It has been said the current lockdown may cause a spike in pregnancies - and also domestic violence cases! Go figure..

Violent sexual roleplay?

Well you could look up the numbers and work it out. Or just try and cause more hysteria by posting on here like you did.

Really?

What are you talking about? I am saying it MAY not be as bad as people perceive and you ALWAYS have natural deaths which COULD be higher at this time of year. FFS, have a word with yourself.

And by no means a pop at OP as was a very polite question but just as an FYI in case you are unaware, that the 'difference between dying OF corona and WITH corona' is a narrative being pushed very heavily by extreme right wing media and Russian bots online, in support of Trump and his government to try and downplay the number of deaths occurring on his watch. Just in case you were not aware

Fair point, that part of the question came from a radio interview with a senior medic who distinguished between the two because of the often used phrase, with underlying medical issues. In her words, the patient was likely to succumb to some additional ailment due to the current medical condition.

Agree. I know from my previous life as an intelligence analyst how important it is to get your data set right from the very outset - the government have failed big time on this and aren't able to give meaningful data on death or survival rates - and know I'm not Russian!!!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

1600 people die every day on average in the uk. I heard every death is put down as covid 19 in hospital at the moment

Just wonder why we need to politicise this, the way in which we gather data was probably set by previous Governments, or not, it matters not, we're in a crisis during which we just need to focus on protecting people and savings lives, surely?

I suspect the source you heard that from is wrong as it makes no sense.

They state the deceased tested positive for covid 19. Eddie Large stated to have died from covid 19 when 2 weeks before he was admitted to hospital with heart failure. Just one example

Woah there, hold your horses, I haven't politicised this at all. It's the government who are controlling the situation , therefore it is the government who have failed to collect the right data.

I would be saying the same thing whatever colour tie the PM was wearing.

Knowledge is power, they have failed to provide the right knowledge to those making the most important decisions of all of our lives.

Let me clarify, every death if the person tested positive for covid 19 is being put down to covid 19 as the cause, obviously not someone that was shot or anything

That is a legitimate question and concern. Is there a record somewhere of caused Covid-19 deaths against deaths with Covid-19?
