No, not the purpose of my post. I just wish the figures presented would give a breakdown between those with no other conditions and those with other health issues.

It will also be interesting to see how many non-Covid deaths there have been during the previous Covid years that would otherwise have been delayed or saved.

The health service has been pulled to pieces through lack of funding, loss of staff etc. and we are now suffering the consequences of government inadequacy and failure to put in place competent pandemic planning.

What is the percentage of the population have some underlying condition? Most people I know over 50 have something - controlled diabetes, heart conditions, asthma. By the time you get to 50 I would guess that a big majority have something to declare.

So the other 130k? The ones with well controlled diabetes, or asthma, or heart disease, or COPD....

The ones who were having a perfectly nice life before Covid?

Shall we not count them? Same question as was asked on Mumsnet. hmm

Or was that not the purpose of your post?

Someone I know has finally sent me the figures on Covid only deaths, so I thought I’d pass them on as some of you might be interested.
