COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[kaz7]

Ons released earlier 41 dead over 11 days

The ONS death figures are based on the number of deaths registered in England and Wales where COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate as "deaths involving COVID-19".

The number includes all deaths, not just those in hospitals, although there is usually a delay of at least five days between a death occurring and registration.

The figures published by NHS England and Public Health Wales are for deaths only among hospital patients who have tested positive for coronavirus, but include deaths that have not yet been registered.

Clear as mud

A GP was on tv this morning saying the ONS count people that had covid mentioned on their death certificate but maybe not their main condition

Yeh, Over double from yesterday is truly staggering. Kinda hits home that we could, hopefully not, see spain & Italys figures here.

Tragic.

The last 24 hours were 10 days after the nation went out en mass on that Friday night.

You need to keep out of this thread if the death rate is worrying you at the moment

This thread? Do you mean ignore TV/radio/the internet? While being locked indoors... how is that in anyway possible?

Not good enough.

Blame the fuckers who packed every pub the last Friday they could go out

we are no longer in the EU
Why should they give a fig for us?

So we're going to end up like Spain and Italy then... despite the head start.

Not necessarily. Italy - especially in Lombardy - got overloaded and a lot of unnecessary deaths happened because of that. ferguson and co. still think we will not go over capacity, so we should see Italy's numbers accelerate away from us. We're back to being 17 days behind them now.

You just have to keep remembering that the objective is to keep deaths below 20,000.

Oh that is ok then

The idiots who are still letting planes in and out of the country, packed pubs, no preparation considering we knew what was coming months in advance.

As long as the new cases are higher than outcomes ,good or bad, then we should expect the deaths to rise, hopefully the peak won’t be as high as Italy or Spain , unfortunately deaths wont’t peak until after new cases start falling think I saw somewhere about a week- 10 days after.
Personally I think the new cases will start to drop sooner than 3 weeks about 2 but mortality rates will be about 3 before they start to fall.
