"This makes me cross, all of those figures just tell us that we had a high population of people that were vulnerable to covid-19 and we have a lot more that are still vulnerable and could die this year. Its not a competition between countries, the demographics between us are too different. It should be us respecting each other and protecting each other from this coronavirus as best as we can."

It's up to you If it's too much trouble to wear a mask then that's fine but don't start gloating and chastising others that care." This should be the whole point to all these findings, realise errors and make sure they don't happen again. Whatever helps reduce transmission should be done (as most of us are). It's not about allocating blame at the moment it's about finding ways forward and luckily so many positives are being discovered now. | |||

"I'm not naive, I'm well aware that there are people out there that don't follow social distancing or wear a mask but I think there are also alot of people that like to provoke a reaction and dismiss all the evidence, it's easy to sit behind a phone of keyboard and talk utter shit to wind people up. From what I've seen in supermarkets and the garage the only people NOT wearing a mask were the checkout operators and one elderly couple that had their masks under their chins, everyone else had masks. | |||

"To a family a death is a death so 65k extra families had funerals We're not working together no social distancing and people using excuses not to wear a mask Im alright Jack.. country so selfish What happened to this once great country" Speak for yourself !!! I and many others do wear masks and socially distance. The only place i can't do that is at work, however no one at work or any of the families has had covid19. | |||

"Worrying how badly we have fared OPEN YOU EYE THIS IS SERIOUS Social Distance wear a mask- NO excuses Social distance read attached very very sad Please Read https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53592881" I have a question for you , what do you think is the impact of the selected methodology? These rates are calculated by subtracting the weekly 2015 to 2019 mean ASMR from the weekly 2020 ASMR and then dividing by mean annual cumulative ASMR for 2015 to 2019, which in turn is divided by 52. Is this correct ? Also if the government can’t can’t its own fingers or up to two when counting PPE, is the ONS Analysis still correct ? | |||

 (I hope not) We could find England has lower numbers over the duration.
This is a virus, a largely invisible one with high numbers of asymptomatic people.
Even in places where they had suppressed it, it's coming back and in strength  | |||

"Double, sometimes triple counting. C-19 being put on many death certificates. Suspension of post mortems? The figures are way out, maybe we'll never know the true number because it wouldn't justify the Stasi state our country is becoming. To put it into perspective check EuroMoMo site, and remember, seasonal flu can kill up to 50k people of all ages in the UK in a bad year."

The thing is all figures given are people that have tested positive,the estimate is above but only an estimate anyway,hence not official numbers. After investigation maybe official numbers will drop but this article is solely relevant to excess deaths per country it's not disputing how many are actually covid related | |||

In fact it is likely to kill a lot less people this year due to social distancing and other measure we are taking to control covid. It's *your* figures that are way out. | |||

" Social Distance wear a mask- NO excuses Social distance " And what exactly do you think that is going to do? A pathogen will take it's natural course until herd immunity or a vaccine comes along. All that lockdown and social distancing does is change the rate of transmission. This was the original idea of lockdown to stop the pressure on the NHS. Somehow the public now think that they are trying to stop the virus. Many more people are now going to die because of the actions taken rather than the from CV19 itself. No one seems to be bothered about this at all. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53300784 The economic damage is going to be catastrophic and will lead to thousands more deaths. As for masks they are completely pointless and are just to keep people scared so that they happily submit to having a vaccine (if it comes along). | |||

"...All that lockdown and social distancing does is change the rate of transmission...." ---------------- That's exactly what mask will also do - change the rate of transmission. You've admitted lockdown can change the rate of transmission. The virus has not disappeared; it is still around. We can't be locked down forever, so now that we are out of lockdown, other measures need to be put in place to control the virus. Mask wearing is one such measure. | |||

"This makes me cross, all of those figures just tell us that we had a high population of people that were vulnerable to covid-19 and we have a lot more that are still vulnerable and could die this year. Its not a competition between countries, the demographics between us are too different. It should be us respecting each other and protecting each other from this coronavirus as best as we can." Well said | |||

"It's all to do with the density of the population" No.it's all to do with the pandemic bekng handled shambolically. You would think we were the only densely populated country on the planet. Still I'm sure the enquiry will find out the truth. | |||

Why not allow us to have our positivity? | |||

Yes it is serious but serious all over the world,there is no way figures can be put together as different measures are used,also many nations lie,ie Russia,China,,many EU countries do not count all deaths so the figures mean naff all" This based on excess deaths....all the countries count deaths in the same way. Pretending that Spain or Germany don't count their deceased is arrant nonsense | |||

"If the BBC is your only source of information, then you need a reality check. One of the most anti Boris organisations on the planet." The source is our own ONS. Every news outlet is using their work as the basis for their reporting. If you don't like the BBC's analysis, read the original. The story is the same | |||

Of course it's relevant. " No it isnt relevant. It's EXCESS deaths that are being counted..... | |||

"So, don't say anything and shut up? Again, try being all positive to the families that have lost people needlessly. I'm fortunate enough, thus far, to have not lost anybody I love, others not so lucky. If you don't know the mistakes of the past, you will make them again in the future.....and that is people's lives at risk......!!! | |||

"'wait for these figures before making comparisons'they said. We waited, it's a catastrophe...they say nothing. Standard Oh behave, it could have been far worse and we are heading in the right direction. The UK has some of the worst figures for Europe, sure it could be worse. Thats a hell of a consolation to families of those that died. Here are two reasons why the death toll was so high. First, lack of preparation. Second, appallingly handled. That phrase 'world beating' has a horrible irony to it now." No the real reason is the uk has a much higher bame population than other european countries, studies have shown by public health they are a much more likely to die from covid this coupled with an aging population is why the death rate is so high. | |||

"So you think UK doing great? So the, earth is flat" I dont think any countries are doing particularly great as its a pandemic and all are finding it hard to control.What i do object to is people making random statements without looking at the facts ie density of population, % of population who are most at risk etc i think they are the flat earthers. | |||

"If the BBC is your only source of information, then you need a reality check. One of the most anti Boris organisations on the planet. The data comes from the ONS and is being widely reported. Just blaming the media when reality doesn't suit you is a very Trump move, well done. " Right wingers say BBC is left wing/Liberal biased. Left wingers claim it is right wing/government mouthpiece etc. For me, being attacked equally from both sides just prkves how balanced they actually are. Unless, of course, those complaining are the unbalanced ones.....oooh actually that's right! | |||

I'm proud of the way people have gone out of their way to help vulnerable people.

"It's, a percentage Also Italy has more vulnerable Stop making excuses we have failed our people this country " Not necessarily. If the goal is to cripple us to the point where we will willingly accept any laws they say will help or any trade deal we can rush through. When you know how to turn tragedies into opportunities, there are no failures just new smoke screens they can operate under. | |||
