  1. What is shocking is are the home and carehome deaths that are non-Covid related that happened in from week 15 onwards. They are welll above the 5 year average but non Covid related. These are people that might no have died if they had gone to hospital, but didn’t because of the Covid scare.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

  2. @John Church: my teenage son spotted exactly that within a five minutes of looking at the ONS raw figures. No graphs needed. He’s a bright lad, but still… Is the further (perhaps) shocking thing is that MSM and government is are failing to see, comment on or investigate this, or that they are carrying on hoping that no one notices.

  3. We can never know, but what is your best guess for the inflation of Wuhan Virus deaths in the official statistics? My guess is fully half of USA deaths marked as Wuhan Virus related were caused by other factors. Some graphs shown here a while back showed respiratory and flu deaths and IIRC non-Wuhan Virus deaths were significantly down.

  4. Lovely graphs. The excess non-Covid deaths in care homes won’t just be ‘lockdown can’t get medical attention’ deaths though. They will in part be people who had Covid which wasn’t recognised. Covid causes hyper coagulability in the blood and may present as a stroke, myocardial infarction or pulmonary embolism.
    Also it can’t be assumed that all or even most of the people with comorbidities were expected to die soon anyway. Most of the conditions are chronic and compatible with years or decades of life. Despite this there will though be quite a lot of people with advanced malignancies and a prognosis of weeks who happened to test positive and therefore get misclassified as a Covid death.
    The excess deaths graphs over the summer are going to be very interesting. My hunch is that there will be significantly fewer deaths than expected which will support the argument made on this site that a substantial number of Covid deaths were in the very frail who had a limited prognosis.
    Notwithstanding the comments above I share the view that the risk of death fromCovid for people under retirement age has been vastly over-estimated by the public. It is perverse and illiberal to shut down the economy for so long in my view and we should move to a policy of protecting the vulnerable.

  5. @Christopher

    What is the total number of excess deaths in 2020 to date based on normal UK avg 1,668 pd?

    18 May 2020 is day 139 and normal deaths to date would be 231,852 – ignoring seasonal variations

    @Passive Investor
    Good points

    However, with co-morbidities, those in care homes are there as they are no longer mentally/physically well enough to live without 24/7 care & assistance. Hence, “God’s Waiting Room”

    The median length of stay in [BUPA’s 305] residential care homes is 462 days from time of admission to death
