5 years average 10,458
=
Covid 8,237
Non Covid = 3302

Covid vs Non Covid.

Yeah, been looking at that data release this morning too. Fair play for including it, but I really find the covid vs non covid deaths a pointless distinction in the sense that it’s hard to know how many are with/of it etc. The 21k for 2020 vs 10k 5 year norm for all deaths is the only number that matters for me. I suppose the crumb of comfort is it’s now plateaued after 22k last week, but considering we are now 2nd place behind USA (aren’t we?) we’re not in a great place overall. Wonder what will happen to that 21k number after the easing?
Cheers for including the age break down. The regional covid figures looked a worry last night for those of us living in NW England.

not a chance dr bluemoon has stated many times there is no chance this was around before January . No chance.

the thing is, the odd case may well have been here, but it certainly wasn't here and spreading widely.

the whole "there was a bad cough doing the rounds in Nov/Dec, that must have been Covid" just doesn't hold up.

Posted this in the other thread by mistake. Luckily I managed to get out of there alive.

Looks like they're going have to retest a load more cases to be sure.

Patient "infected" between 14th and 22nd of December and hadn't travelled anywhere, but could have been infected by asymptomatic wife who worked in a shop near an airport, who would have to have been infected between 1st and 9th December, which is well before there was widespread reported infection in China.

Interesting information from Sir Patrick Vallence in his appearence before the Health Committee.
1. Britain's outbreak genetically ties back to half term holidays with people returning from Italy and to a lesser extent Spain.
2. The risk of catching Covid is the same for social distancing for being:
- Two metres apart for 1 minute; AND
- One metre apart for 6 SECONDS.

The second point means public transport can't be restarted without people wearing face masks and really when you go shopping you should wear one too.

The first point shows how laughable our policies at our airports have been and still are.

Agreed, i posted it as the question was posed in the quoted response.

its impossible to say if they are deaths caused by the lockdown and neglect from the medical system or if they are just diagnosed cases.

Think the mirror have a story on this too...seeing and avalanche of people on FB saying that horrid flu cough loads had over Christmas (we had) was CV19.
But my son had the flu jab and was the only one not affected...

I won’t be installing the app.
I know several idiots that claim they’ve “had” covid 19 after a couple of days coughing and temperature.
I don’t want them self diagnosing, ticking the right boxes on the app and then the app telling everyone who has been near them to self isolate.
Not to mention the idiot who has moved on from gobbing at coppers to wandering around randomly in areas of high footfall then feigning symptoms.
Mind you it would be a great way of hitting your business competitors wouldn’t it?
From what was said on Newsnight on tv yesterday you say you have symptoms and are them put through a tick box list by the app. Depending on your responses you are then asked if you would like the results to be sent to the app owners for notification of contacts. You can agree or defer.
No mention of getting a test.

Isn't 2-5 days before symptoms generally appear ?

Only quoting what I've read, it says 5-14 days.

Still behind Italy and Spain I believe as well as the States.
