On average, 10,000 people die every week in the UK and that statistic is NOT changing, nor is it likely to change over the course of 2020.

I fail to see what the panic is about.

this is how they do it - all deaths by the week, relating to the bug - come under this heading - Deaths where COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate ....and thats where the number spin begins !

Bloody hell barrie, I hope that it's not me! It would mean that I would be 251 when I died -----even a happy bloke like me can't contend with the thought of another 177 years in lockdown!

Haha!

They should pull through. If they were 0.79% dead that would be more worrying.

The figures are rising, of course they are, the number of deaths from respiratory infections rises every autumn and into winter. On the latest figures, the rate of increase, far from being rapid, seems to have stalled. No doubt the rate will soon rise steadily again, but if the above is a rapid increase, then I'm a fecking pineapple.
