Initially it wasn't reported on a more balanced level with the numbers for those who had recovered, but would put that down to it being a developing crisis..

Certainly the numbers of those recovering has been widely reported, depending on which source you use..

It's nothing to do with politics..

It's literally because the NHS doesn't have access to that data. If you look at any of the metrics that track the virus. The UK is the one country where number of recovered isn't actually released.

Either because it's not recorded for some statistical or medical reason.

I don't know why exactly, i'm sure it'd be interesting to know why exactly. But the ultimate reason the press aren't reporting on it, is because they don't know what the numbers are.

You could extrapolate I guess, but it's not so easy to run a story based on that.

For the same reason as you don't talk about trains that arrive on time but only about trains that arrive late.

Shall we also celebrate that there are still 66 million people who are alive in the UK or celebrate that flowers are still growing in ou gardens? I mean we can celebrate this type of things but I don't expect the media to do so. That's for me on a personal level to take a step back and put all this in perspective.

The role of the press and the opposition is to a certain degree to scrutinize what the people in charge are doing. When you look at how this gvt is desperately trying to put positive spin and refuses to accept having made any mistakes with anything and is lying so blatantly (the Cummings affair for example, th number of tests), I am glad to see that the media are trying to expose these polticians and confront them. Without the press, you wouldn't know anything about the Cummings scandal.

Yes. I do for sure everyday, because some of those 66 million are my friends and family.

The role of the press is to 'get advertising revenue and to spin to whichever political direction the owners or political party that they support'. To pretend they are being altruistic is a little naive.

The roles of the opposition is to knock the current goverment from power to take it for themselves.

Initially in the UK the majority of people weren't tested, they were left to isolate and recover. Their numbers don't appear in the stats and will not be covered by the media generally. The country messed up by not preparing or planning appropriately in the early stages.

If you NEED people to be worried about how serious the virus is, it makes sense to concentrate on the deaths rather than recovery. If you make a big noise about the recovery rate people with think they don't need to be cautious.

Maybe if we’d tested people from the start we would be able to assess how many have recovered. Sadly, testing was deemed not a priority by the Govt. So unless we retest everybody to see if they have the Covid antibodies, then we have no way of knowing how many people have recovered.

All we do know with any certainty, is that an extra 65,000 plus people have died during the lockdown period. So at least 65,000 never recovered.

This isn’t political, it is fact.

The balance of deaths expected this year will level out in the latter part of this year and in to the early part of next.

Of the 40k+ deaths currently attributed to covid19 - the percentage of those who would have died anyway this year will become visible when the number of deaths per week turns negative compared with the 5year average.

That best you got one example? If you compare average deaths by month of the past few years with the same months this year you'll see that there is a massive net increase in deaths. So regardless of how deaths are labelled you can easily see how damaging the virus is.

Just because we want something, doesn't mean we can have it or that it is so. Our country, for whatever reason, 1 in 4 people provide false information to track and trace, how can any govt or system provide accurate numbers in such an environment. We get what we deserve in such circumstances.

But in line with the thread, finding information about those who have on the face of it, recovered, is not as readily available as the latest gaffe by trump as an example.

Its also why countries are using different reporting systems...UK covid deaths are reported as covid present in the deceased at time of death, but fails to state exactly why the patient died was it covid 19 or another reason ? People are now looking at the effects of covid 19 in the higher than year on year death rates averages for the countries reporting will this include the side effect where medical services have priorities to treat covid infections over other health problems ? Most coubtries are seeing an increased death rate over recent years..is it that a patient might of recovered but been weakened by the virus so succumbed to another health issue ? Are cancers heart disease being neglected ? The total effect of covid 19 lockdown will be something many discuss and debate for years to come.

I doubt very much that the total number of excess deaths for 2020 will be below the 5 year running average. However it is probable, as Covid disproportionately effects the old and I'll who are always more likely to die in any 12 month period that, once Covid is under control, the number of excess deaths per month will decrease to a level below normal. It just probably won't be enough to turn the yearly total below the 5 year average.

OK so the numbers of people who recovered isn't necessarily reported but the numbers of new cases and new deaths are. obviously because the number of deaths are far less than the number of cases then I assume we are expected to realise that those people have recovered.

Not true that more people have died of flu in one year. The highest since they have been collecting stats is 26k and has been as low as about 1500. The average is around 16k.

No Really. It's not. Most newspapers lean to the left or to the right. But that is only after securing revenue for profit.

Not what I said. I said in the news they present secondly they choose a left or a right (very few are bang in the middle) First they have to produce a profit by chasing revenue.

thats a disengenous comparison because you are comparing the yearly figure for one with the other figure which has basically been over a 5 month period!

600,000 deaths over 5 months would work out to be 1.5 million ish deaths over a year....

now compare that figure to you "290-600k"

Of course most have a agenda (overwhelmingly on The right) and they have to make a profit but their reason for being is to provide the news.

As for it being political.. if there is a train crash they don't say how many survived.

It's not political at all.

Nope. I put them as they were on John Hopkins page. No Alterations. No Omissions. Nice try but no.

"Initially it wasn't reported on a more balanced level with the numbers for those who had recovered, but would put that down to it being a developing crisis..

Certainly the numbers of those recovering has been widely reported, depending on which source you use..

To achieve herd immunity, you need around 75% or more with a resistance to the virus. That would need around five and a half BILLION people.

I would ask you to look at the long term effects of SARS 1 virus, Covid is likely to mimic these-

Myocarditis

Chronic fatigue

Neurological issues .

I don't think anyone sensible considers herd immunity achieveable without a vaccine.

And most of the world shut down or locked down to keep those figures as low as 590,608 so what are you trying to say ?

So 43,000 deaths from 4.3 million cases that are known of. 1% maximum mortality rate; and if you are under 70 with no other health issues then the chances are you have very little to worry about. Just a view.

You don't think 43,000 is enough... obviously 1% of the uk's population would be 680,000, would that be an acceptable number?

. Ha. Clearly you don’t understand do you. I will try to spell it out simply. We’re not talking about the entire population, just the known positive cases, which obviously is a minimum number. Thankfully it simply shows that the maximum mortality rate is 1%. Make of it what you will

And even more simply, those are the numbers with lockdown

Anybody's guess what it would be without restrictions

43001

There is no issue with my understanding, you're just wrong. To start with, there have not been 4.3 million recorded cases here, only 330 thousand which makes the mortality rate about 7.5%. Obviously we "know" that many more infections have gone unrecorded, but don't know how many... and "many more" is not a useful number for doing sums with.

Saying that we shouldn't be worried because the mortality rate is only 1% is missing the point somewhat. We have protected the majority of the population from infection, especially those in the highest risk groups. If we hadn't done so the death rate and the number of cases would have been much higher.
