This is the consequence of poor Government. 10 times the deaths in Sept 2021 than Sept 2020

Vaccination cannot do all the heavy lifting.

The total relaxation - even of easy measures- has caused this & tells us these deaths were mostly avoidable.

Looking at death certification data of Covid deaths by date of death to 24th Sept, then addicting 28 day deaths by date of death from 25th Sept onwards (which will be an undercount due to notification lag)

1 in every 406 citizens have had a Covid related death.

By next month, at current rates of death, we will be talking about 1 in three hundred and ninety+ U.K. citizens have had Covid related deaths which I find very bleak.

H/t @jneill as ever for the careful data collation.

Remember that 🏥 admissions and deaths ⚰️ lag cases.

The winter peak in prevalence in secondary school age children (according to ONS surveillance data) was below 4%.

In the week to 2nd October it was nearly 7%. Not quite double.

So am I worried?

Yes. Yes I am and think we should push back hard against the minimisers

For many many children it will be too late.

Sickness, hospitalisations, #LongCovid and a small but NOT “insignificant” number will die.

Children are not supposed to be dying of an infectious disease in England!

School disruption for many.

So much avoidable.
