This makes me cross, all of those figures just tell us that we had a high population of people that were vulnerable to covid-19 and we have a lot more that are still vulnerable and could die this year.

Its not a competition between countries, the demographics between us are too different.

It should be us respecting each other and protecting each other from this coronavirus as best as we can.

To say it's a new virus and we still don't know anything about it, we have managed to slow it down reasonably quickly and we are heading in the right direction. Yes, mistakes have been made and people have done stupid shit and acted like knobheads but it could have been so much worse. It's awful for everyone who has had someone affected by the virus and it's so sad that anyone had to die but we need to start trying to look forward and see what we can, as individuals, do to make the stats keep coming down. All this negative crap helps nobody.

If excess deaths are from all causes it wouldn't matter how countries are recording covid 19 deaths as every death is still counted over that period of time and that's what the ONS are basing this on.

When it comes to how many deaths are from covid19,I agree that countries seem to count the deaths much differently and therefore it's hard to make a comparison

We can't bring back the dead

We can socially distance and wear a face covering to help reduce future deaths..

This should be the whole point to all these findings, realise errors and make sure they don't happen again.

Whatever helps reduce transmission should be done (as most of us are).

It's not about allocating blame at the moment it's about finding ways forward and luckily so many positives are being discovered now.

I'm not naive, I'm well aware that there are people out there that don't follow social distancing or wear a mask but I think there are also alot of people that like to provoke a reaction and dismiss all the evidence, it's easy to sit behind a phone of keyboard and talk utter shit to wind people up.

From what I've seen in supermarkets and the garage the only people NOT wearing a mask were the checkout operators and one elderly couple that had their masks under their chins, everyone else had masks.

I have a question for you , what do you think is the impact of the selected methodology?

These rates are calculated by subtracting the weekly 2015 to 2019 mean ASMR from the weekly 2020 ASMR and then dividing by mean annual cumulative ASMR for 2015 to 2019, which in turn is divided by 52.

Is this correct ?

Also if the government can’t can’t its own fingers or up to two when counting PPE, is the ONS Analysis still correct ?

The figures are way out, maybe we'll never know the true number because it wouldn't justify the Stasi state our country is becoming.

To put it into perspective check EuroMoMo site, and remember, seasonal flu can kill up to 50k people of all ages in the UK in a bad year.

The thing is all figures given are people that have tested positive,the estimate is above but only an estimate anyway,hence not official numbers.

After investigation maybe official numbers will drop but this article is solely relevant to excess deaths per country it's not disputing how many are actually covid related

And what exactly do you think that is going to do? A pathogen will take it's natural course until herd immunity or a vaccine comes along. All that lockdown and social distancing does is change the rate of transmission. This was the original idea of lockdown to stop the pressure on the NHS.

Somehow the public now think that they are trying to stop the virus.

Many more people are now going to die because of the actions taken rather than the from CV19 itself. No one seems to be bothered about this at all.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53300784

The economic damage is going to be catastrophic and will lead to thousands more deaths.

As for masks they are completely pointless and are just to keep people scared so that they happily submit to having a vaccine (if it comes along).

----------------

That's exactly what mask will also do - change the rate of transmission.

You've admitted lockdown can change the rate of transmission.

The virus has not disappeared; it is still around.

We can't be locked down forever, so now that we are out of lockdown, other measures need to be put in place to control the virus. Mask wearing is one such measure.

The UK has some of the worst figures for Europe, sure it could be worse. Thats a hell of a consolation to families of those that died. Here are two reasons why the death toll was so high. First, lack of preparation. Second, appallingly handled.

The 'mass hysteria' Is probably something to do with nearly 50,000 people dying.

The figures are way out, maybe we'll never know the true number because it wouldn't justify the Stasi state our country is becoming.

To put it into perspective check EuroMoMo site, and remember, seasonal flu can kill up to 50k people of all ages in the UK in a bad year.

We are talking about the annual seasonal flu in the UK, the one we are vaccinated for just before winter every year.

We are not talking about past pandemics.

The second wave of infections is coming and it’s not coming from continental Europe. It’s pointless arguing over stats - most of which are meaningless. Concentrate on what you can do as an Individual and be master of your own good health.

"No reason to think masks will make any difference

Finally, someone clearly qualified who can tell us exactly what to think "

Just what Wanksock and sage were saying until a few weeks ago. The surgucal masks people are wearing were designed to be used in sterile environments (ie operating theatres). They say on the box they will not stop viruses passing through them which makes sense as the virus is 10 times smaller than the gaps

How can the national figures be correct if a person can be Covid positive fully recover then die as a result of a road traffic accident 3 months after recovering from Covid but the death certificate records cause of death as Covid19?

OR

An individual who never had any symptoms of Covid at any point who then collapsed with a heart attack and died the next day in hospital... death certificate - Covid19!

Even our own Government has admitted that some of the deaths recorded as Covid19 may not have been.

Yes its out there and yes it can be deadly but everything needs to be kept in context.

"Look forward not back.

We can't bring back the dead

We can socially distance and wear a face covering to help reduce future deaths..

It's up to you

If it's too much trouble to wear a mask then that's fine but don't start gloating and chastising others that care.

This should be the whole point to all these findings, realise errors and make sure they don't happen again.

Whatever helps reduce transmission should be done (as most of us are).

It's not about allocating blame at the moment it's about finding ways forward and luckily so many positives are being discovered now.

Wish I shared you optimism

But facts the majority not distancing or wearing masks

Think your being naive

"

So from how I read your post is the majority of people just don't give a fuck but you do ?

And because you choose to wear a mask and socially distance your on your soap box preaching to us dumb mortals who are just not doing our bit in any way

"'wait for these figures before making comparisons'they said.

Standard

Oh behave, it could have been far worse and we are heading in the right direction.

The UK has some of the worst figures for Europe, sure it could be worse. Thats a hell of a consolation to families of those that died. Here are two reasons why the death toll was so high. First, lack of preparation. Second, appallingly handled.

That phrase 'world beating' has a horrible irony to it now."

There is nothing that will comfort those who lost someone to covid, that's not the point of my post. My point is that we are heading in the right direction and we all need to do our part to continue going in the right direction.

Its not a competition between countries, the demographics between us are too different.

It should be us respecting each other and protecting each other from this coronavirus as best as we can."

No problem looking forward. Problem is, have to trust the people who fucked up, to not do it again. Now, if you never hold these people to account you literally give them carte blanche to fuck up again and again and again....it's people's lives.

I don't think it's relevant to how countries count the deaths from covid19 but showing that we had highest above average deaths during that period compared to other countries.

No the real reason is the uk has a much higher bame population than other european countries, studies have shown by public health they are a much more likely to die from covid this coupled with an aging population is why the death rate is so high.

Yes but if you look at the bame percentages the uk has 6.8% of the population and italy 2.5% and considering they are the most vulnerable group it explains a lot.
