There’s a good chance some of them are deaths caused by the strain COVID-19 is putting on health service resources. There has been an entirely preventable death in my extended family that you’d like to think would never have happened if everyone wasn’t quite so rushed off their feet. ‘Lockdown’ is a temporary blanket solution, it doesn’t make any sense in some aspects, it fails to take any nuances into account and is causing massive harm in many other ways, but it was what was needed to stop so many other preventable deaths. |  | |  |

And most if those who die are 'economically inactive' so they don't matter. Hmm... who do we know in that category? |  |

ONS numbers are out, they're not good on 10:22 - Apr 28 by NotSure | So looking at the spreadsheet … 11,854 extra deaths in week ending 17th April. 8,758 Deaths where Covid-19 mentioned on the death certificate (And 86% where Covid-19 was underlying cause). Which leaves us with 3,096 extra unexplained deaths when comparing against the 5 year average. And it's the 3.096 which worries me the most. It appears the current lock down is causing extra deaths. |

It is a very strange topic to be trolling about. The question of why are there an additional 3k unexplained deaths is a valid one and an important one. |  |

Not really. there are natural variations for a start. So before you start attributing or speculating other causes, you ought to see if you can rule that out. Even if you can- there are many possibilities (including Covid by direct adn indirect means). The troll in question fallaciously says "it must be this because noone is telling me another answer" which is pathetic and ridiculous. The stupid trolling by the poster in question is really obnoxious. Espceially int he context of his despicable comments and attitude demonstrated in yesterdays thread. |  |

Of course it is. Maybe this is that thing the NHS have been warning about - people being scared of going to hospital or not wanting to be a burden? Or perhaps, it's simply new poverty kicking in? Or maybe it's all those cancelled opperations to clear the way for covid paitents? |  |

I've not seen anyone say "I still think they're doing a good job" recently so perhaps FINALLY some people are waking up. And then there are those who have been screaming that line for weeks who are suddenly very quiet. I'd like to hear their comments on the Panorama last night personally. |  |

Many of the "unexplained" additional deaths are likely (per BlueBadger - who knows better than most of us) to be Covid-related. That will include people with significant other health issues, and Covid became the straw that broke the camel's back. They'd have lived longer without Covid, but not necessarily that much longer. It will also include care home cases where no tests were carried out. |  | |  |

One of my aunts is in a care home in Ilford. There have now been 4 c-19 deaths so far. As there's been no visitors allowed throughout all this it can only have come into the building via the staff. The staff themselves can't be held to account individually I suppose, unless any of them have been like those dicks who are doing as they please when not at work, but I do wonder what measures are being taken to prevent the virus entering the home. If they aren't showing symptoms and there's no testing available for them and they aren't breaking the rules outside of work, it's a nightmare of a concern. These people are there to be looked after and are currently being held captive in a building waiting to take their chances. |  |

The figures from the ONS speak for themselves. Very high levels of flu - 48,000 excess deaths in 1999/00. 44,000 excess winter deaths in 2014/15. |  | |  |

It's a false equivalence as you well know. I remember your posts a few months ago saying C19 was overblown and no worse than flu. Since then you've attempted to use mortality rates to justify that viewpoint without factoring in the r0. They don't speak for themselves because: - The r0 rate of seasonal flu is lower than C19 - The mortality rate of seasonal flu is lower than C19 - Those numbers are with everyone going about their daily life as normal - If there had been no restrictions then the deaths from C19 would be massively higher than what you are citing as an equivalence - There is no evidence this is seasonal at the moment - The final figures for recent months are likely to change Essentially you are deliberately comparing two things as equivalent which aren't and you've been doing it for months. I've asked why and you've never answered. I think everyone is pretty sick of you downplaying things with virtually every post. What is the endgame? What is your actual point?
