Surviving COVID-19 Does Not Mean Going Back to Normal (Mortality Rates Are Still at All-Time Highs)

Scotland is Already Suffering a COVID-19 Surge, Admissions to ICUs Nearly Doubled in a Week
As noted earlier today [1, 2], getting COVID-19 data on — or from — Scotland has gotten a lot harder. The above COVID-19 statistical report (“This weekly release by Public Health Scotland presents data on COVID-19 across NHS Scotland.”) says some interesting things. The first main point is: “In Scotland, in the week ending 20 September 2022, the estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19 was 117,100 (95% credible interval: 93,600 to 143,500), equating to 2.22% of the population, or around 1 in 45 people…”
The next point after that says: “In the week ending 02 October 2022, there were on average 744 patients in hospital with COVID-19, a 12.0% increase from the previous week ending 25 September 2022 (664)…”
And there’s also a ~50% leap in ICU ‘escalation’ (many cannot survive): “In the week ending 02 October 2022 there were 19 new admissions to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) with a laboratory confirmed test of COVID-19, an increase of 8 from the previous week (25 September 2022)…”
It then says: “The response to the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have a wider impact on health and care as a result of the lockdown, economic pressures and changes to health services.”
This seems like an excuse for increased deaths, but here is the summary and full report. They published the data in proprietary Microsoft formats, so here it is in ODF.
In August 2020 Very Few Scots Died With COVID-19 (Only 19 People), But Scotland Stops Reporting Coronavirus Deaths After an August With 206 Deaths (Over 10 Times Worse)
August 2022 was the last month Scotland fully reported COVID-19 deaths. Does this data policy make any sense based on the numbers below?

Scotland Stopped Reporting COVID-19 Hospitalisations on 9/11 Despite Numbers Being TEN TIMES WORSE Than in 2020
Does Scotland hope to ‘solve’ or end the pandemic by merely not reporting its effects anymore?

Seems like masks and distancing lowered the COVID-induced hospital visits to almost 0.

Shown in bold above are days when more kids were vaccinated (first shot) than adults, with an age cutoff of 12.

In 2022, to Date, British Deaths Massively Increased Compared to the Prior Year
ETTING complete data from our government is like drawing blood from a rock, so I spent some time chasing and gluing together bits of data.
The data is scattered, so it takes a lot of effort pulling all the figures and then comparing apples to apples (not oranges).
The NHS/ONS are sadly using Microsoft formats and outsourcing to JavaScript (spyware; likely GDPR violations) sites controlled by Microsoft. Below the figures the reader can find all the data in an open format (I’ve converted it). Yes! All the underlying data is included as OpenDocument Format (ODF) below. In the public interest, making it more accessible.
Here’s the objective number of deaths in 2022 (by week):
10 Jun 2022 11,742
17 Jun 2022 10,844
24 Jun 2022 10,836
1 Jul 2022 10,357
8 Jul 2022 10,232
15 Jul 2022 10,515
22 Jul 2022 10,978
29 Jul 2022 11,013
5 Aug 2022 10,698
12 Aug 2022 10,355
19 Aug 2022 10,982
26 Aug 2022 10,942
2 Sep 2022 8,868
9 Sep 2022 10,753
16 Sep 2022 10,673
From what can be gathered, based on another dataset, in 2021 the numbers were a lot lower:
Week 25 8,591
Week 26 8,699
Week 27 9,569
Week 28 9,479
Week 29 9,417
Week 30 9,731
Week 31 9,660
Week 32 9,801
Week 33 9,443
Week 34 9,600
Week 35 8,138
Week 36 10,178
Week 37 10,158
Week 38 9,796
Week 39 9,727
So about 1,000 more people die each month this year (compared to last year, which was also a “COVID year”).

COVID-19 Positivity Rate Soaring in England Even Before October
The surge starts earlier this year than in prior years.
Data up to September 26th (not even October yet), based on yesterday’s latest data. By now it must be approaching 10%.
On the same date last year the rate was 6.8% and 2 years ago it was 3.2%.
