Deaths in England and Wales This Spring Vastly Higher (21% Higher) Than in Prior — Including COVID-19 — Years
HAVE just checked again and new numbers, for week 13 at least, came out this morning, 5 days after the last time. The numbers are astonishing as they show 2,000+ more deaths than the 5-year average (including pandemic years).
So for a single week, week 13, we’ve leapt from 9,580 to to 11,584 deaths (+2,004).
Compared to 2019:

COVID-19 Won, We Lost. Why Doesn’t the Media Admit This?

COVID-19 Remains Untackled

‘ve just published some hard data to show how deaths have soared this year, probably in relation to the neglect of COVID-19 response. Institutions and media compel us to think that COVID-19 is a “thing of the past” or old news while publicly-available data shows alarming numbers, including total mortality across all age groups (it’s up sharply).
Media gaslighting won’t be the solution to all this. We need proper research and real, hard answers.
In Ireland, More Deaths at End of 2022 Than in 2021 (COVID-19) and Far More Deaths Now Than During COVID-19′s Peak
tl;dr 8467 deaths in 2022Q3, compared to 8165 in 2021Q3
ast year we looked at this data and found that Ireland was not solving the COVID-19 problem.
We have newer data now.
Now, let’s compare Q3 deaths for even older years:
6517 in 2010
6911 in 2011
6825 in 2012
6983 in 2013
7001 in 2014
6851 in 2015
7129 in 2016
6987 in 2017
7143 in 2018
7358 in 2019
7111 in 2020
Don’t believe the numbers? Here’s the data:
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Meanwhile, “UK Deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate” exceeds 222,222 (222,283 is the already-outdated figure).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.
1500+ Increase in Weekly Deaths (England and Wales) is Not “Back to Normal”
‘ve just checked ONS. Its site was updated faster than usual, as early as 9:30AM this morning, at least for this dataset.
The site updated at ONS:
Number of deaths for week 11:
Notice how much that grew between 2022 and 2023.
2019 was a lot better too. 2019 data for March/April:
So to summarise
2019: 10,567 deaths
2022: 10,928 deaths
2023: 12,133 deaths
They tell us the pandemic is a thing of the past. The data does not support this assertion.
