Because the world beating test and trace app was such a success she surely deserves to be head of a new Quango, with of course the commensurate rewards.

Can you explain the 60,000 excess deaths in the UK over the period of the pandemic?

Officially covid accounts for about 50,000 of those but that could be a lot lower. That still leaves at least 10,000 excess deaths which could be evidence that lockdown lead to further deaths due to people not being able to get the treatment they needed.

"seen reports"?
Anecdotal information of the type spread by interested parties on social media.

You sound like a Tory that believes every word the government tells you.

If they were "dying anyway" your overall death rates would not be higher

Weekly death rates - England/Wales

View attachment 97742

It was released not long ago that in England and Wales in April over 10 thousand more dementia patients died compared to the same period last year,10 thousand extra deaths from 1 ailment, that is extra people who died without Covid.
Some of the extra deaths could be explained as being caused by the lock down.

But.. but those people were going to die anyway, were they not?

Rob mate, you're having a mare here. Maybe the internet isn't for you?

 

[Tipp blue]

Aye, reassessed by the government that made a meal of the response in the first place. Can you explain the 60,000 excess deaths in the UK over the period of the pandemic?

Here's 10 thousand in April from dementia alone. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.th...mentia-deaths-beyond-infections-research-says

Maybe you have 1 source of info and can't handle a difference of opinion.

Aye, those numbers undoubtedly true, if not more imo. I posted this back in April, but I am all too aware of the effects of isolation on the elderly

One thing he mentioned in that which is true, loneliness is an absolute killer the older you get. Isolation has a massive impact on the elderly and I was always amazed at the rate of decline of patients who were in a medical ward awaiting long term care (where they were surrounded by other patients and frequently visited) and their eventual rehousing in one of our long term care units where their cognition plummeted significantly in a short space of time once they were effectively institutionalised. Pretty sure we all know elderly people who declined rapidly after the death of their spouse or significant other too. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a surge in people needing long-term or respite care after all this is over
