So in England & Wales ONLY there were 11,854 excess deaths in the single week up to & including 17th April. 8758 had COVID on the certificate. 3096 did not. Yet we are being asked to believe this was not COVID related..
ALL U.K. hospital deaths per DHSC data = 5579 that week

Care home deaths in England & Wales, at 7,316, have tripled in the week ending 17/4/2020 compared to the March average.
Less than half have COVID on the certificate.
Pull the other one.
Home and “other place” deaths look to account for at least another 5k deaths.

The ONS death figures are phenomenal for a single week.
22,351 deaths in England & Wales ONLY 11854 more than the 5 year average and the highest weekly recorded figure since their records began in 1993
Johnson calls this “a success”.
I hate to think what his “failure” would be

Link to the ONS data here. COVID was on nearly 40% of all death certificates and is still likely under reporting Covid.

Plenty of these people had, in ordinary times, plenty of good years ahead.
Do not buy the “they would have died anyway” malarkey just to make those who made reckless decisions feel better. Some may well have died LATER this year, some next, some many many years ahead.

ICU network report, 24/4/2020
London still the highest number of COVID deaths with more than half attributed to COVID, followed by the North West and the South East.
Wales May have had the fewest COVID deaths but it has lost more than its fair share of health and social care workers.

Echoing the ICU network report, men from the age of 45 years old upwards die disproportionately to females, very much so in the 45-84 age range.
A couple of extra pieces of information from @faisalislam who has been looking at CQC care home death data that also feeds into the ONS now.
Whilst 8.758 mentioned Covid on death certificate a further 1,776 state with “respiratory disease”. Hmmm.

Together than amounts to 10,534 deaths. I wonder if the tendency to register “respiratory” cause clusters around particular GP and Coroner areas @TheBMA ?
This is a public health emergency. We need to know the scale and spread.

This is also very interesting from the CQC and this suggests we may see similarly high numbers next week (although this is date of record to CQC, not necessarily date of death, unlike ONS data.)
Still. 2375 attributed to COVID between 18-24 April.

Here is the ONS thread in Deaths occurring in week 16 (up to and including 17th April. Remember there tends to be quite a lag in registration so expect that to lift upwards over the next week or two.
