The number of UK deaths during the coronavirus outbreak over and above
normal levels has exceeded 50,000, official figures confirmed on Tuesday.
The Office for National Statistics said that in the week ending May 1,
there had been 17,953 deaths in England and Wales recorded, 8,012 higher
than the average of the past five years in that week, as the disease
killed three times the normal number of people in care homes.

This represented the seventh consecutive week that deaths exceeded normal levels and once equivalent figures from Scotland and Northern Ireland were included, takes total mortality across the UK during the pandemic to
50,979.
At present this is the highest absolute level of excess deaths in Europe, although figures for Italy are not yet comparable because they are only available to the end of March.
The official figures from the UK’s statistical agencies are much higher
than the daily announcement from the Department of Health and Social Care, which stands at 32,065.
Excess deaths is seen by ministers and the government’s scientific
advisers as the best ultimate measure of the deadly impact of coronavirus.
It includes people who died with the disease but without being tested in
the community and in care homes.
It also includes indirect victims of the pandemic who died, perhaps
because they were unable or unwilling to attend hospital for treatment.
The 50,979 figure for excess deaths is also higher than the Financial
Times updating model predicted two weeks ago because more people had died outside hospitals than expected. It estimated that once community deaths
were included, 47,000 would have died by that point.
The big discrepancy between the daily government announcements in deaths
and those recorded by the ONS again came in care homes, where mortality
during the Covid-19 epidemic has been far higher than normal.
In the week ending May 1, 6,409 deaths were registered from people in care homes, more than three times the normal rate of 2,019 death registrations
in England and Wales’ care homes in the last week of April.
Since the pandemic started, there have been 19,900 more deaths in care
homes than normal for the time of year in England and Wales.
Evidence is growing that the virus became seeded among the most vulnerable
and frail and elderly people in social care after hospitals discharged
sick people into the care system without being tested for Covid-19 to
build capacity in hospitals that was not then needed.
The level of excess death registrations had declined for the second week running, indicating that the lockdown had enabled the health system to
suppress the virus and reduce its incidence in the community.
In the official data to date, from the week ending March 20 to May 1,
there have been 46,566 excess deaths in England and Wales, 3,710 in
Scotland and 703 in Northern Ireland.
Most of the deaths relate to a period just before the registration period because there is an average delay of four days between the date of death
and its registration.
International comparisons with the UK figure cannot be completed yet
because Italy has only registered total deaths up to the end of March.
In France and Spain, the level of deaths in the latest data has gone back
to normal, while it is still 80 per cent above normal levels in the UK.
### - ah yes, the 'excess' figures set! finally! even with this though the 'real' number is still in doubt and is likely to be far higher than this +
will likely continue to climb too as they relax the lockdown measures;
just what the final tally will be, anyone knows!?
and while undoubtedly some of this 51,000 died only from neglect (were too scared to go to hospital with their chest pains for example and so died at
home from a heart attack) the way they've quite deliberately manipulated
the figures on a daily basis to produce a specific result/effect is really quite clear, albeit completely + deliberately misleading!
lol ya can't truth these fuckers with the figures/data for... anything! :D
that anytime they start coming-atcha with their 'figures' for whatever you
just know they's lying!
thus our whole civilisation's a lie perhaps? none of it bearing close examination?
a 'lie' that only functions if you.... 'believe' in it??
(now where have we heard all 'that' crap before huh + is society then just another cult?)
could be ;)
