🚨 | ‘Since week 15 we have been seeing this big rise in excess deaths, at least 10% above average. The excess across different age groups and missed healthcare is bound to be a factor’
Here @danwootton read out a statement from the Department for Health saying that circulatory diseases and diabetes may be partly to explain for the rise in excess deaths.
NHS England analysis showed that we have seen more people dying linked to diabetes than would have been expected, citing a reduction in checks due to cut backs on healthcare for non Covid.
🚨 | A further 1,662 excess deaths in England and Wales for the latest week of data, 2022 vs 2015/19 average.
In the first 31 weeks of 2022, we have seen registered deaths more than 10% above average among those aged 10-14, 30-34, 35-39, 55-59, 60-64, and 75-79.
1/9
Deaths for the first part of 2022 were below average - which is not unsurprising because of the large numbers of excess we saw in 2020 and 2021.
For the second half of the year, deaths have been at least 10% above average.
For the most recent week 18.4% above average.
2/9
🚨| For the most recent week there were 10,698 registered deaths in total, Covid was the cause of 469 of them and involved (mentioned but not main cause) in a further 254.
So 939 deaths above average with Covid not mentioned on the death certificate.
🚨 | ‘If you're an energy company and the Government is saying we'll pay money towards your bill you may as well sit in your boardroom and put the prices up more’
💥 Heading for transfer of wealth to energy companies & us saddled with Government debt
‘We've been sleepwalking our way into this big disaster that's coming and Labour, Tories & Lib Dems are all complicit in this complete shambles that we've had over the last 30 years with energy security’
🚨 | ‘The main role for Government is to provide the basic things you need to live such as water, gas, electricity and we've slept walked over the last 30 years into this energy security crisis’
💥 UK reliance on foreign gas to blame for high #energybills
🚨 | ‘We've been sleepwalking our way into this big disaster that's coming and Labour, Tories & Lib Dems are all complicit in this complete shambles that we've had over the last 30 years with energy security’
It is sheer incompetence to have allowed where we are today to have happened.
Of course cleaner energy is a good thing - but energy security is far more important. You need to get that right first, then focus on the cleaner sources second.
🚨 | In the first 30 weeks of 2022 we have seen registered deaths more than 10% above average among those aged 10-14, 30-34, 35-39, 55-59, 60-64 and 75-79.
Since week 15 deaths above average accelerated. This is not due to deaths where Covid mentioned on the death certificate.
Deaths for the first part of 2022 were below average - which is not unsurprising because of the large numbers of excess we saw in 2020 and 2021.
For most of the second half of the year, deaths have been at least 10% above average.
For the most recent week of data, we have seen registered deaths that are 21.7% above the 2015/19 average.
A part of this is down to having more older people than in 2015/19 in the population but is not the main factor (may explain around 4-5%).
