    But where are the deaths???

    Asked Mor Ons in the last couple of months trying to justify growing infection rates, well here are the deaths:

    “ UK daily Covid deaths rise to 367 - highest figure since late May

    A further 22,885 cases also reported in last 24 hours, taking total past 900,000”

    UK daily Covid deaths rise to 367 - highest figure since late May | Coronavirus | The Guardian

    Won’t take long to go back to over 1000

    For the last 7 days the figures are:
    191
    189
    224
    174
    151
    102
    367

    The moving 7 day average is currently 200 - increase of 65 from the previous week. For the past few weeks it's been
    135 (increase 53)
    82 (increase 31)
    53 (increase 18)

    Definitely on the rise!

      It isn't the deaths they should be concerned about it's the implications of Covid on being able to get NHS and dental treatment at the moment. In some cases people can't get GP appointments at all, A&E depts are asking people to book in because some GPs aren't doing their jobs and lots of routine operations are/being cancelled so people are having to go private.

      Then the implications of Long Covid on themselves, their taxes and not being able to get timely NHS treatment in the future.

        Fake news!
        Most of those who have died during the pandemic would have died anyway in the next 100 years.

        (Isn't that the normal response from the flat earths?)

          30000 excess deaths this year so far. Not all of them by a long chalk due to Covid-19.

              I thought it was 30000. (Source, MD in Private Eye).

                This is just for England & Wales:

                Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional - Office for National Statistics

                Looking at the year-to-date (using the most up-to-date data we have available), the number of deaths up to 16 October 2020 was 484,206, which is 55,092 more than the five-year average.

                  The health services are going to be overwhelmed with all the normal lurgy being treated as potential covid and all the kid gloves as if it's 100% fatal.

                  My brother has a cough and his boss said not to go back to work until he'd had a covid test, despite it not appearing to be a dry cough and him having no other covid symptoms, so highly likely just a routine chest infection/cold. So he's just been for a test, though there seemed to be lots of spare slots at the nearest centre, he got in within 30 mins of starting the booking. He did try to talk to someone in the NHS about the symptoms to make sure he needed a test but they were no use, basically saying to do it online.

                  Oh well, keeps some people busy if they have nothing better to do.
                  Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
