figures terrifying

The effects of lockdown may now be killing more people than are dying of >Covid, official statistics suggest.
Figures for excess deaths from the Office for National Statistics (ONS)
show that around 1,000 more people than usual are currently dying each
week from conditions other than the virus.
The Telegraph understands that the Department of Health has ordered an >investigation into the figures amid concern that the deaths are linked
to delays to and deferment of treatment for conditions such as cancer, >diabetes and heart disease.
Over the past two months, the number of excess deaths not from Covid
dwarfs the number linked to the virus. It comes amid renewed calls for
Covid measures such as compulsory face masks in the winter.
But the figures suggest the country is facing a new silent health crisis >linked to the pandemic response rather than to the virus itself.
The British Heart Foundation said it was deeply concerned by the
findings, while the Stroke Association said it had been anticipating a
rise in deaths for a while.
Dr Charles Levinson, the chief executive of Doctorcall, a private GP
service, said his company was seeing far too many cases of undetected >cancers and cardiac problems, as well as disturbing numbers of mental >health conditions.
Hundreds and hundreds of people dying every week what is going on?
he said. Delays in seeking and receiving healthcare are no doubt the
driving force, in my view.
Daily Covid statistics demanded the nations attention, yet these
terrifying figures barely get a look in. A full and urgent government >investigation is required immediately.
Figures released by the ONS on Tuesday showed that excess deaths are >currently 14.4 per cent higher than the five-year average, equating to
1,350 more deaths than usual in the week ending Aug 5.

Although 469 deaths were because of Covid, the remaining 881 have not
been explained and the ONS does not break down the remaining deaths by
cause.
Since the beginning of June, the ONS has recorded nearly 10,000 more
deaths than the five-year average around 1,089 a week none of which
is linked to Covid. The figure is more than three times the number of
people who died because of the virus over the same period, which stood
at 2,811.
Even analysis that takes into account ageing population changes has >identified a substantial ongoing excess.
There were 103 Covid deaths in England on August 11 and the seven-day
average is currently around 111 fatalities per day.
Questioned by The Telegraph, the Department of Health admitted it had
asked the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities to look into the >figures and had discovered that the majority were linked to largely >preventable heart and stroke and diabetes-related conditions.
Many appointments and treatments were cancelled as the NHS battled the >pandemic throughout 2020 and last year, leading to a huge backlog that
the health service is still struggling to bring down.
This week, an internal memo from the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in
Wigan, leaked to the Health Service Journal, warned it was becoming >increasingly common for patients to die in A&E as they waited for >treatment.

Dr Charmaine Griffiths, the British Heart Foundation chief executive,
said: Were deeply concerned by the initial findings that excess deaths
in recent months seem to be being driven by cardiovascular disease.
Without significant help for the NHS from the Government now, this
situation can only get worse.
Last week, official England-wide statistics showed emergency care
standards had hit an all-time low.
Juliet Bouvier, the Stroke Association chief executive, said: We know
people havent been having their routine appointments for the past few
years now, so weve been anticipating a rise in strokes for quite a
while now.
This lack of opportunity to identify risk factors for stroke, coupled
with increasing ambulance delays, is a recipe for increased stroke
mortality and disability in those that survive.

the U.K. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19
) finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John

doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like

Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?
