Where do you think they'll finish at the end of the season?
It was a list for your benefit not mine. Do with it what you will.
Seasonal flu has been endemic in the country for the entirety of this year and last but coronavirus deaths only started happening in mid to late March so you are comparing widely different timeframes/populations infected.
Coronavirus: Deaths at 20-year high but peak may be over
Numbers dying nearly double above what would be expected, but peak may now be over, say experts.www.bbc.co.uk
But the figures for 2020 also show the impact of flu and pneumonia compared to coronavirus.
The number of deaths from flu and pneumonia - at more than 32,000 - is three times higher than the total number of coronavirus deaths this year.
If coronavirus deaths stay below the totals for seasonal flu over the next couple of months we’ll be very fortunate and it will be because of dramatic steps taken to reduce the spread.
Thank god governments and folks in general are (mostly) listening to experts and not you

ok...
- Shortage of PPE globally - is this the Ministers fault ?
- Delay in supply chain because of disruption to supply chains- Is this his fault ?
- Wrong specification or a changing specification on what PPE was required by who in what circumstances- Surely even you must admit that this is not his job
- PPE has been ordered it's just too late in the process to have been stockpiled effectively- sounds like the CS to me
- There is PPE but not sufficient logistics to get it where it is needed- Down you you planners
- It's the Civil Services job to advise and develop government policy - not manage supply chains and procurement - it certainly isn’t the job of a single Minister to manage supply chains and procurement, Bruce even posted up the guy within the NHS who is supposed to do this.
The coronavirus has been around for about half the year thus far, yet had a third of the deaths. Even if it were double the deaths, it still wouldn't necessitate this huge overreaction.
LIVE RIGHT NOW GUYS!
Internet man argues with medical professional!
If you're a fan of disproportionate measures and choose to ignore the numbers, then you should be happy. lol

Something isn’t right though is it. My wife and I seem to have had flu/cold/runny noses/sore throat or whatever since December. I wish to God I knew what the hell Is going on, but this is the worst year I’ve seen.....
Funny, I doubt you had trouble with people posting here until it was someone who disagreed with you. lol Suddenly it's RANDOM INTERNET MAN.
Not at all. You do you babe
The first documented case of UK community infection (ie not contracted abroad) was Feb 28th. There is to date no evidence that it was widely circulating from the start of the year and even now the number of people who have been exposed is unknown because of the lack of testing, especially serology tests.

Exactly the same with me. It comes and goes as well. Also feel a bit watery, (like dont want to be too far from a toilet or risk a fart) at times. That goes as well. Proper odd.
