This data is almost two weeks out of date. So add another 1,000 deaths (or thereabouts). They also miss some deaths:

Deaths figures for England incomplete

Due to the bank holiday NHS England have not updated their deaths data. This means that the number of reported COVID-19 deaths in England is lower than expected on 31 August 2022. Any delay in reporting is expected to catch up next week.

Plus:

Delay to update of weekly deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate

Because of a technical issue, weekly registered deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate have not been updated.

Figures will be added in a future release.

One day these pages will be gone, hence the screenshots.

COVID-19 is already linked to about 205,000 deaths. That’s about 3 times less than an annual total (all causes considered, including old age):

3 summers compared:

And notice when our government ceased to issue the weekly reports on excess mortality:

Did we defeat the virus? No. We stopped talking about it because the government told us to.

It is widely known that those who exit the hospitals (alive afterwards, not in a body bag) have life-long or long-term damage. It happens most of the time. Those who survive don’t live too well. So we’re not actually solving the problem. We just test less to blind ourselves to the problem.
