News of more and more deaths is worrying for people across the UK, it's also tragic for the families of those involved But what do the figures really tell us? [Thread] 👇
Each day, news of more deaths is a huge source of alarm to people across the country - as well as a tragedy for the families involved.
But the hospital subsequently released a statement saying his death had been due to a separate"significant" health condition and not connected to the virus. Every year, about 600,000 people in the UK die. And the frail and elderly are most at risk, just as they are if they have coronavirus. But while deaths without the virus would be spread over the course of a year, those with the virus could come quickly and overwhelm the health service.The most immediate way to judge the current policy is to see if the health service manages to cope with the coronavirus cases it sees in the coming weeks.
If coronavirus turns out to be no more deadly than flu, the lockdown could limit the number of excess deaths to under 1,400 - more than 12,000 fewer than would have happened under the previous strategy of slowing its spread, before the decision was taken to move to lockdown.
