I wish the government would be honest

As the subject implys I wish the government would be honest with the public. When they say how many people are dying each day say how many people have had underlieing problems that may have contributed to their deaths and their ages. Because at the moment we just get told ex amount of people have died from the virus which to me implys they are dieing solely from the virus

You need to ask the question...the people that die today, would they have died anyway today, or did Covid cause their death today. Regardless of underlying conditions and age.

If the answer is they would not have died of their underlying condition today, then Covid is their cause of death.

In fact, you are right...the figures are wrong. They are actually higher as they only include those who died in hospital, not the folk who died at home and in nursing homes as a result of Covid

I’m not even sure we can accurately report the death rate at the moment.

They don’t have the capability.

I saw figures of 21m deaths in China posted today, it was quickly removed from the web, the origin a Chinese university, it corroborated a video I watched posted by a Chinese millionaire, his company makes portable incinerators , not a nice thought I know , he states the order from the Chinese government for these machines was in tens of thousands, they handle 60 bodies a day each, by his reckoning this would put the input required again at millions ..... not thousands which is a sobering thought !

Whilst it is true that many people would have died "fairly soon" regardless of the virus, I'm fairly sure they would (given the choice) have rather had those days/weeks/months to spend with their loved ones.

I don't mean be more accurate I mean say for example they announce tomorrow 250 people have died they don't say out off those 250 ex amount had nothing else wrong with them so many had other problems. It just seems to me by just saying so many people are dying from the virus it's scaring people even more than it needs to be

We don’t even have an accurate death figure.

However, care needs to be taken with the whole issue of underlying health conditions.

They are not simply dying people who died a bit sooner. Or people with extremely poor health. There are people who had many years of life left dying from this.

Asthmatics, diabetics and 70-year-old Grannies shouldn’t be dismissed as being victims of this just because they had health or age issues.

One of my grandparents died at 84 having lived for more than 15 years with COPD and a heart condition. Her dying at 70 would have robbed her of a lot of life yet in the current climate she’d have been see as “ah well, she was going to die anyway”

The news reports give that information. Sky in particular emphasis that “only x number had no underlying health conditions”

The daily briefing can’t cover every single piece of information

If anything the death toll is being quoted well under the actual figure.

They are only counting hospital patients with a confirmed COVID-19 test result.

This means medical staff and those who die elsewhere are not included.

The number 10 briefing this evening covered this.

There are the figures from hospital but also the other figures of deaths where a doctor has signed the certificate believing COVID was a contributing factor.

They also discussed the point that figures will show as spike in a few days relative to the 4 day weekend where deaths haven't been registered.

Registrars can collate information about causes of death.

That’s how we know how many people die each year from various conditions.

It’s anonymised data. No confidentiality is breached from people knowing that x number of people died last year from heart disease. The same for Covid-19

There is an easy way to settle this debate. You take the mean death per day outside of hospitals pre-covid and compare it to now. Excluding the obvious like motor accidents and workplace accidents.

Birth, death and marriage certificates are public record.

Anyone can buy any certificate.

How would we know how many people died from asthma or RTAs or even how many die from a pandemic (to know there is a pandemic we need to know that people are sick and dying) if that information was withheld?

Someone’s cause of death isn’t sensitive information, it’s public record.

Now, the question is should the likes of newspapers use that information to contact families - absolutely not.

However, that misuse of it should be dealt with rather than it be withheld

Home and nursing home deaths up until the previous Friday are added to the total every Tuesday. Adding them daily is simply NOT possible.

On the question of did they die OF or WITH CV19, if you have a massive car crash but die of a heart attack, who would you blame the heart attack or the car crash?

It's not remotely sensitive information to say "100 people died, 27 of those people had underlying health conditions" - which is what happens on news reports.

That's completely different from a NHS staff member, like myself, telling other random people specific details.

They're not revealling that Mary had heart diseased and Jimmy had diabetes. Just basic numbers.

absolutely agree I think at this time its in the patients interest that NHS cancel ifeel for clients who require treatment...if NHS decision 2 go ahead do all treatments some patients will not be strong enough to fight the virus ...covid19 program on itv1 tonight the lady answered questions regarding this topic of cancer suffers or any medical condition issues that it's in the best interest the decision 2stop treatments....

I only said what I did because your first post said the information couldn’t be given; not that it shouldn’t be given.

I wouldn’t have interest in your Mum specifically, but death certificates hold interest for whole range of people. Anyone involved in genealogy. Extended family members looking for potentially hereditary health issues.

Especially when you consider that it is not always the next of kin who registers a death (my husband’s death was registered by my brother for example) so to keep a track on who can and can’t access the information would also be difficult.

Also the fundamental information on the certificate does not belong to the next of kin, it belongs to the deceased, so it’s not your information, or in my husband’s case my information, to keep secret anyway.

The information you need to give is only to identify the right certificate. You can order the death certificate of an adult with their name, age and place of death - all of which most newspaper death notices contain. (Death certificates of children require a couple of other things)

The asking of your relationship to the person is presumably a statistics thing as it doesn't stop you getting it if you have no relation - think of the tv show Heir Hunters for example, they order shedloads without relationships.

NI numbers don't appear on death certificates so not sure how that is relevant

It would be better if the figures given out weren't without qualification nor in isolation.

The number given is just a part of the death rate, as others say and it's correct that there are difficulties in obtaining broader numbers, due to source delays, complexities etc.

By broadcasting primarily this simple lower number it does make the perception that things are better than the reality.

The governments are unable to give exact deaths from covid 19, because many have died at home. You can be sure, the numbers they are giving, are well below the actual deaths from covid 19 . New York has just revised their deaths by adding 3700+ to the death toll.

Scottish figures include those who died outwith hospital where Covid-19 was judged to be the causative factor, tested or not, as listed on death certificate.

Note also, dying with corona virus is not the same as dying from corona virus.

Maybe less people are dying because

less people are on the roads

less people are spreading regular flu and other diseases.

Less people are dying of other misadventure.

Doesn't seem massively weird to me. Plus three years isn't enough data to identify a trend.

"You need to ask the question...the people that die today, would they have died anyway today, or did Covid cause their death today. Regardless of underlying conditions and age.

If the answer is they would not have died of their underlying condition today, then Covid is their cause of death.

In fact, you are right...the figures are wrong. They are actually higher as they only include those who died in hospital, not the folk who died at home and in nursing homes as a result of Covid "

That is right the figures are all wrong, the true number of deaths just from the virus is alot lower. I have heard that those who dies normally some of them are still labbeled with the virus.
