Not 'From' covid - it's within 28 days of a positive test.
Last NHS FOI received at the end of February reported the number of people who have died where covid was the sole reason for death was 'none'.
That is zero in 500 if you're wondering.
You keep shouting Jock, l for one greatly appreciate your Alba tones and what you have to say. Your recent posts on this site have been a breath of fresh air.
It is only with the views of people like you being expressed that gives me hope my granddaughter may still have a future.
124K dead out of a population of 68million. Calculating....
124,000/68,000,000 = 0.00182 =0.182% (approximated to 0.2% for simplicity)
0.00182 is 1 in 548 people dead from Covid.
Top marks for coming to grips with the percentage button on your calculator, but you typed in the deaths that had a prior positive test for covid - not deaths from covid.
not deaths from covid.
It cannot be known how many were killed by covid19 alone.In many cases it is a contributory factor.In some cases, it is only tangentially involved.In some cases it is the primary factor.
It would be good to know more about these aspects. But for various reasons, it is hard to break it down accurately. We must learn to do this better for the next time something like this occurs. we need to have stronger ways to acquire this data and to break this information out. It's important to do this, so we all have a better handle on the scale of the problem.
Right now, there is a level of uncertainty. We have to deal with that. The medics tell us a large number of people did die of covid19. Obvsly it's fewer than stated, for all the reasons above. I hope there will be some recommendations to improve this in due course. I do not think it is incompetence or a political conspiracy, it's just a technically difficult thing to do. Although politicians gotta do the politician thing. It's just how it is.

What are they going to do with all the unemployable, familyless, probably homeless in time, people who won't play? Round us up and put us on an island....build special prisons? I think I'd rather be taken to the vets for a dose of the blue stuff
