ONS..total death figures

Latest data shows that TOTAL deaths from ALL causes has now dropped BELOW the 5 year average. Has "lockdown"...even tho only ever partial, and ignored by some, reduced transmission of other illnesses too?

Or those who would have died around no have died earlier due to getting covid.

Well when you take 65 million people and by and large lock most of them up for 12 weeks and that most of them DID and STILL DO social distance and practice mitigation . . . then yes without doubt it worked.

People who were vulnerable to added health problems while out in the community stayed at home so had much less risk to general stuff like colds and flu.

So. not surprising really that it is now below average for the time of year.

"Quite possibly due to both I think"

Statistics, lies and damn lies indeed. I think lockdown has given people time and space to think and reflect and question things we would never have contemplated previously and then media feed us all kinds of suspicion juice.

I mean who honestly ever looked at national statistics before let alone seasonal average death rates.

But to your point, I noticed the same thing regarding the last 2 weeks total death rate by all causes and don't have enough knowledge to interpret them sensibly.

I do suspect that lockdown reduced a number of things to our benefit but also suspect in 6 weeks time we will be running on the hamster wheel so fast that we won't want to think about the last few months... And the blame merchants will be finding people who didn't make perfect decisions to string up.

Most of the bad decisions made by the covidiots who refused to follow guidance, looked for loopholes rather than how they could comply safely and then blamed everyone else when they went partying, raves, stuffed beaches protesting etc....

It is, of course, a 5 year average so inevitably at least one year will be below the average

Some causes of death have undoubtedly dropped over lockdown - road deaths for example

We will never know the true impact given that there will be those who have fatally delayed diagnoses or treatment for serious diseases that could've been treated

If it wasn’t used by so people in the press for political gain we might have had a more open government I fell.

Maybe we will never find out.

Yes I think lockdown would have contributed to that reduction.

Also during lockdown, less people were travelling on the roads. That could amount to less people dying from road accidents during that period.

It would be interesting to see the numbers (up or down) of A&E admissions over the 14 weeks. Having watched an A&E documentary, I am guessing/hoping they are massively down as there are less alcohol related actions.

Don't worry death rates will soon start rising again,I know people who are ill and can't get to see a GP . And if they call 111 they are told they have to wait till they think their life is in danger, then call a ambulance. It's been like this for weeks, and don't believe the crap you hear it's not getting any better. Latest data says the NHS is running about 60%

They are indeed massively down

One of my neighbours is a triage nurse at the local A&E and she says that in around 50% of admissions alcohol is a factor

It's a great indication that we're towards a much safer place to be at, than where we were. It's valuable to look at these and other data, to help give a more robust understanding of what's happening.

Good things from lockdown were the indirect benefits, such as reductions in pollution etc.

We need to npw6 focus on actual infection levels, to reduce them even further, so that the pubs opening etc don't turn things the other way. Stopping physical engagement during lockdown reduced our levels of infection, so reversing it is problematic.

yes for a few hours on a Friday and Saturday night,so that accounts for about 5% of A&E time.

The majority of the UK media are conservative right wing biased, so supportive of the strategy here

It would have reduced communicable diseases, yes.

Excess deaths turning negative, when compared with the 5-year average, may suggest that those that may have died at some point in this year have died sooner than expected due to covid19.

Will be interesting to see if this trend continues.

Whatever the % is, the numbers have gone down.

Try and be 'positive' :-

I have said all along the true figures for every country will not be known until its over and comparisons can be made with previous years.Also the demographics of each country for eg density of population,average age of population,percentage of bame in population etc it is far to early without this info to see how well or bad a country has done.

more thank likely. Professor sikora mentioned (and was criticised for it) a few weeks ago.

Take a look at pew research for unbiased evidence of political leanings of all media outlets.

COVID-19 cases are allegedly spiking. However,deaths dropping dramatically.

This because Flu season is over,and COVID-19 deaths can no longer be lumped together with Flu deaths to artificially inflate the numbers,or its mutating and weakening.

Typo on my part - I meant 15%! That is total admissions not just a few hours on particular days of the week

The whole figures thing hasn't exactly been accurate, why not take the average death rate over last 3 yrs from March to June and take that out of total deaths in that period for 2020 surely that would give us a more true figure of covid death's. Just my opinion!

The data is available on the ONS website, just need to do some totalling, but....

March - current available

220,270

Previous 5 years

161,800

Deaths mentioning C19

49,001

Difference 58,470

This is for England and Wales only

Hopefully my numbers are accurate
