Quoting facts upsets some people.

If zero covid deaths in 2020 it would have been the lowest recorded deaths by a huge amount.....miles out of the normal range...and probably discounted as a stastical impossibility.

Now that suggests to me that 1. A huge a mount of people who have died of covid would have died anyway or 2. In the year where we have eliminated all kinds of deaths for a record low we were unlucky covid came along.

Or am I a conspiracy theorist.

Hmmmm

I reckon the reduced deaths were due to lockdown meaning fewer 1Bs on the road. 100,000 lives saved at a stroke seemingly.

Now you know that this is a statistic and not a fact. Where did you get the raw data from?

I always think MSM are so disengenious.

The huge difference in population in the last few decades makes comparing raw figures quite slanted.

Now if I was being fair, which I am😁 you could counter that with the advances in keeping people alive over the last 30 odd years.

Another wee point putting my Nigel farage (hi tainted) hat on ......people are counted when they die but we really don't have any idea how many people are in this country....official figure is 67.25 mill I think.......but if there's say 68.25 or 68 (low estimate, some put figure at around 70 mill) it skews the figures slightly lower again.......you are counted in death figure but not the figure at the beginning.....if you know what I mean.

And then again you throw in how many have died because of Govt policy towards covid rather than covid itself.?

There were more excess deaths in the UK last year than any year since WWII. 91000 in fact. That was with lockdowns/restrictions most of the year, which the deniers keep conveniently forgetting when coming up with their bizarre theories.

But that is not being denied by anyone.

This thread is about no excess deaths in the UK in 2020, compared to 34 years out of the last 50

But that is not what Rross has said. He has said that in 34 of the previous 50 years the rate of excess deaths has been higher than in 2020.
I tried to check his source but didn't managed to find the exact details . In 1970 the population was 55m and in 2020 the population about 67m. If you take 600k as a figure of total deaths. Then the % is 600k/67m=slightly below 9 deaths per 1000. When you compare 500k deaths against a population of 55m the deaths per 1000 works out at slightly a ove 9 deaths per 1000.

I wish I could give you the actual figures but I could not find them. I imagine this is what Rross means by his post and maybe he could help by showing the actual figures.
