I have spent the last 30 minutes racking my brain as to what the reason for that might be. The same conditions that caused x number of deaths per week in 2015-19 are now causing >1.25x number of deaths. I just can't figure out why. Any thoughts or hypotheses? No takers?

In UK, they published two data. One: Recorded number of daily deaths due to Covid. 2. Total number of daily death without Covid. They compared data of non covide related deaths in 2020 to that of previous year and found that there was a spike. That spike is also attributed to COvid although its not recorded officially as Covid death in overall counts. I dont know about further breakdown on underlying conditions of those death stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Why, though? In a democratic system it should be health workers, elderly, poor, women, children and men. What has race/religion got to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
