We wrote about this weeks ago. This has already been noticed here as well.

Post covid Alzheimer’s

What I’m saying: we need better metrics to assess the impact of COVID-19 on long-term health.

What I’m not saying: anything but the above.

Passed away on 9 April 2021 at the age of 99, less than 2 months after this (left the hospital after four-week stay):

Died weeks ago after publicly complaining that COVID-19 had left her weak and exhausted:

It is undeniable that mortality is soaring this year. This is based on statistically-significant deviations and very large datasets from many countries. This merits further exploration rather than suppression, censorship, and name-calling.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) published the following data 5 days ago. This does not yet contain summer figures, but those should come later (it’s worse than spring). Maybe by year’s end, even if there are efforts to hide data.

Even before this past summer, which was horrendously deadly (record highs), we saw peaks in terms of mortality. As per the data:

Total deaths (equivalent points in the year, left is 2020, middle is 2021, and 2022 on the right)

Raw numbers

The summer figures will be far more interesting. For reasons that are easily observed.

Underlying data (ODF; ONS foolishly used only Microsoft’s proprietary format for this)

If you don’t have the figures from Scotland, then you can only ever compare apples to oranges:

No further update to hospital admissions in Scotland and UK

Public Health Scotland have changed the definition of patients admitted to hospital and are no longer reporting admissions using the existing definition. The new measure is intended to reflect “community-acquired” COVID-19 and therefore is not comparable to the measures in use in the other three nations, so has not been included in dashboard reporting. Therefore the latest data for hospital admissions in Scotland is 11 September 2022. UK and Scotland hospital admissions will no longer be updated beyond that date. Data for England, Wales and Northern Ireland will continue to be added weekly.

Same for deaths:

Weekly deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate do not include data from Scotland

Deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate registered in the week ending 09 September 2022 are not available for Scotland. The UK total number includes England, Northern Ireland and Wales only. Numbers for Scotland will be included in next week’s release, and the UK total will be updated to include them.

Problem solved! No data, no problems! The numbers thus ‘go down’…

Screenshots for archival purposes (those pages won’t exist anymore… in a couple of years):

Record excess deaths in Europe – Invidious

Notice how much of these bars (vertical) got ‘blued’ this summer compared to prior pandemic summers:

UPDATE (24/09/2022): It turns out almost the same point was covered in the following video about a fortnight ago:
