COVID-19 Death Toll in the UK Passes 222,222, Not Counting Indirect Deaths
xcess mortality has been off the charts since last summer. The media chooses to not talk about this (or barely even mention that). A lot more publicly-funded research is needed here, with no (corporate) strings attached.
Meanwhile, “UK Deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate” exceeds 222,222 (222,283 is the already-outdated figure).
Should we take this for granted? Or the “new normal”? Looking at the hard data, containment saved lived. Lockdowns had a real effect:
COVID-19 is still with us. It won. It’s an unsolved problem and it’s not over, the media is just deflecting and leveraging Russia/Ukraine.
Yesterday around 10AM ONS was supposed to release some death-related figures (updated every Tuesday), but this time it was delayed till 13th of April 2023, i.e. tomorrow. Yesterday wasn’t Bank Holiday.
