Standard biology has it that if one species grows in numbers to a level too much for the area they inhabit to cope with, nature seeks to rebalance things. For all the havoc Covid has caused, it seems to be one of those rebalancing means for our nigh on 8 billion population.
These deaths happened with lockdowns, what do you think would have happened without them? ??
"Agreed but the PC brigade, the brexiteers and the woke won't accept a single death"
Such bigoted generalist and simply ridiculous statements suggest more a voice of insanity, than reason

Yeah because initiating lockdown hasn’t brought any negative headlines has it ??
By the way, an update for you, the woke and the PC brigade are the same people. And a Venn diagram of them and the brexiters would have very little overlap! Also the rebalancing idea is frankly nonsense.
What the government is trying to protect its population
What ever next
What ever next
Nonsense
And another idiotic comment, surely it is the remoaners that will not accept anything this government does or says?
That's plainly false. No one is suggesting that we can't accept a low number of deaths. However, the number of deaths was high and the data shows would have been way higher without lockdowns. (Don't forget that hospital treatment would have become unavailable for most cases if the case count had continued to rise, so case fatality rate would have risen drastically as well as case count.)
"Agreed but the PC brigade, the brexiteers and the woke won't accept a single death"
Hang on.....the PC brigade, AND the Brexiteers AND the woke? What, they're all working together now, are they? I thought the PC and the woke was the same thing? And aren't the Brexiteers completely opposed to what the PC or Woke lot think? Or are you just too thick to know what any if it means??

You really do need to get help with your obsession regarding Brexit.
The government would far rather see everyone back at work, the economy fully opened & expanding to meet future challenges.
Why in your opinion would the government wish to see lockdown continue indefinitely?
Go on; please tell us...

We are still the worst for total deaths, just not increasing as quickly as some others now.
Utter nonsense, claiming that the BBC has an agenda when you are using the figures quoted in the BBC report! Think for a second about what this makes you look like?
Eh?
Do you think that is reason to celebrate?
Remember that the UK sadly has the highest number of total deaths of any European nation
The 4th highest number of deaths per capita of any nation on earth
The worst performing economy of any major nation worldwide
Sad days indeed for the UK but Jon here thinks its best to try to gloat and points score

Also baffles me that nobody mentions that Germany (who the media praised non stop last year) has a MUCH higher death rate on any average year than the UK.
Germany avg deaths/yr over last 5 yrs - 930k
UK avg deaths/yr over last 5yrs - 605k
Their population is 24% larger than the UK's, but they have 54% more deaths every year.
Based on pop size Germany averages 180k more deaths than they should.

Try looking at worldometers. You will see bozo can agree we are top of the world. Unfortunately as the highest death rate per million!
The BBC is just part of the British media that only likes to report bad news and sensationalize it to the nth degree, the same as all other TV companies and newspapers. Its how journalists and reporters are trained, as demanded by their bosses who like to think that's all that attracts the public's attention.
Left-centred BBC are never impressed with this Conservative government. It is the BBC political bias again
but you are impressed? by very poor performance? why? do you always aim to be among the bottom performing? strange objective.

This is all very well but the crucial question is when did Nicola Sturgeon know about this?
Removed
She never knew about it. But if she did, it was definitely two months later. And her husband never discussed it with her, not once.
If she can refer to her notes, consult her diary, look up the detail or whatever. I counted at least 40 of these in her replies. Poor memory for someone in a position of so much power . . . . . . .
She's already forgotten!

Oh dear, covid 19 deaths are higher than the average number of deaths because covid 19 precautions have protected people from flu. Flu deaths are well down.
The BBC has been reporting the news. Its negative because this govt has been a shambles from start to finish. Vaccines have been their only success. The fact that you cant even concieve that negative reporting is because the party you voted for has done a shocking job (cumminsgate, 36bn on non existent test and trace, kids back to school for 1 day, 3 separate lockdowns) says it all. Brainwashed
What a load of drivel.
The BBC has not dished out "nasty spiteful abuse" towards the government, what an infantile claim.
Go back to your mindless tabloids if you want to stay deluded.

Saying it doesn't make it true though. Pleased to see that you alone have kept an open mind and used the BBC's facilities.
125 000 deaths.....surely no government can be allowed to feel smug about that !
I'm surprised by that 7% - with all the BBC's hysterical reporting I assumed it was 20% plus. And a lot of those excess death will be people who would have died this winter or next winter from something else.
Got to say have to agree there
All except using BMI which is more flawed that the lateral flow test! - Last time we checked over half the England rugby team hit this level, and none of them are obese (damn big but not obese!)..
BMI is a terrible measure. It does not take into account body build or muscle mass (muscle is heavier than fat).
You do realise that most professional Rugby players would be classed as Obese or Extremely Obese using BMI.

You're genetically programmed to be addicted to salt, carbohydrate and fats very much like an addictive drug, I thought it was common wisdom to go after the drug dealers rather that users and treat the users ?
There are many ways to encourage people to watch their weight. For example, air fares should be based on weight. Go over your luggage allowance by 1Kg and you pay. Set a limit for body weight and charge for excess.
So most of the England rugby team then! A tax on being well-muscled? Have you actually looked up how BMI works?
Rather than a fat tax which relies on checking up and punishing people, we should have a health discount on national insurance, which you'd actively apply for. It could include things like healthy body weight, not smoking, regular tracked exercise, etc. to qualify. Carrot not stick!
Taxing people in wheelchairs? Good luck getting that one through....
Then you can be the first volunteer to collect the additional tax revenue in person from the Rugby players, body builders, heavyweight boxers and wrestlers who are now forced to pay additional tax thanks to your fantastic proposal.
I dare you to ask (in person) the body builders, Rugby players, heavyweight wrestlers and boxers for the additional tax revenue that they would have to pay thanks to your fantastic idea.
Keep us posted on that one, The Voice of Reason.

Great idea link it to the newly created idiot tax and the ever popular selfish hit tax
BMI is a terrible indicator of obesity........ Example: Anthony Joshua would register as "clinically Obese" Good luck telling him that !! hehe ......
However I do agree there needs to be some sort of encouragement ... just not BMI
However I do agree there needs to be some sort of encouragement ... just not BMI
Nonsense. Why tax fat people, they die off early saving State money that way! Perhaps cut benefits any might take, as they clearly have more than they need to live on, eat. ??
I dare you to go and ask Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua for the extra tax revenue, in person.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Absolute nonsense . Smokers were taxed for years and it wasn’t until smokers were not allowed to smoke in buildings and ten cigarettes were placed in closed cupboards in shops that we have probably seen a reduction in smoke related deaths. Can we do something similar with products that cause obesity probably ? How though I don’t know
That won't be achieved. Look at USA, an expensive, private health care system with the fattest people on the planet. Public funds in Uk better spent on prevention such as education, action on poverty and therapy, instead of a future of closing the economy to protect the unhealthy and billions spent on nhs to look after them.
Does the stay at home, only exercise once a day, close indoor and outdoor gyms but please buy takeaways to keep economy going for months encouraging healthier behaviour?
And whilst we are at it, at airport check-ins the passenger should get on the scales with their bags. Surely the whole weight allowance has to be accounted for tin the name of equality.
So you are now showing what a bigot you are, well done for picking on the overweight you must be proud of your skinny self!
Obviously to pay the FAT CAT'S in your world and what part of capitalism do you not think contributed to this, substituting salt for sugar and vice versa, adding shelf life prolonging chemicals to food, mass production of food, supermarkets shutting high street butchers, grocers who supply fresh non-shrink wrapped produce and all for the good of the profit margin not health.
Thank you. So glad it's not just me that has these crazy ideas!!
Setting the bar too low here. Should be 1% for every BMI point over 25.
Then start on people with low IQ ,Old frail people, people with "ginger" hair,large noses,bald men, "any" political party member who doesn't agree with you - see where its going - you would ,no doubt,support special "holiday" camps for high BMI. You are the problem in this country. There are many factors for dying from C19 and yes being over weight is one factor in a complex equation.
Reason !!! How stupid can you be. A lot of fat people are that way for the rotten drugs their given like Steroids and Beta Blockers and the Doctorors never look for anything different. Look at the people first who are fat through fast food. Young because of lazy parents.
"Need a fat tax. Not on fat food but on fat people. An extra 1% on income tax for every BMI point over 30 should encourage healthier behaviour."
Are we going to have a thick tax as well? No? Phew, you got off lightly there.....

For the final time, it was due to relieving the pressure on the NHS. People will continue to die, and need treatment (for all sorts), so once the NHS can cope, we can open things up.

Somewhat callous, but true!
The Covid-deniers are just tedious now!
The ONLY reason that deaths were ONLY 7% above normal is precisely because of the extraordinary response by the CMO, CSA and all healthcare workers.
Without the Lockdowns and rapid vaccination programme there would have been utter carnage in hospitals.
I am personally grateful that medical professionals have protected me and also everyone else in society!

I guess you find experts and facts tedious too. Probably a brexit supporter.
Agreed, the thinly veiled discrimination by calling someone a covid-denier, against the most vulnerable in society is disgusting.
After all it is irrelevant if someone is a covid-denier outside the top 9 priority groups because they wont get the vaccine soon anyway...

There is no data to support that the deaths due to covid have any connection to obesity - the main ones are age and occupation (= lower income). But don't let the facts influence your biases

we were never the worst affected anyway. The PCR test isn't fit for purpose, so they've fiddles the figures to justify the mass vaccination using an unlicensed experimental mrna injection whilst deliberately avoiding and ignoring the benefits of ivermecting and hydroxychloriquine and for symptoms to avoid hospitalisations. You've all been conned and the sheep are happy to lap up the lies.

I asked a friend in Germany this morning if, like here, all suicides are declared as Covid related. He checked and found out that they don't assume such a thing. I explained that the majority of suicides in UK are declared as from depression and ergo the worry of Covid, hence it being included on death certs.

The article states thrombosis in 'very RARE cases' ... whilst the EMA states
'the EMA does not see any increased health risks and recommends the continuation of the vaccinations'
You do know very RARE events happen with ALL medications including statins, BP meds and even aspirin ... but for balance we need the same appraisal for ALL other Covid vaccines including Pfizer.

You can manipulate the figures all you want as this Government likes to do. The hard fact remains that it is utterly appalling that over 125,000 people in this country have lost their lives to the Chinese made virus.

Success of flu jabs in the last decade left rich pickings for Covid. Other countries likely didn't record deaths as covid related when they probably should have. Strictly speaking unless someone was on their death-bed prior to catching covid then it was a major contributory factor in their premature death and should have been recorded as such.
BBC now censoring comments that criticise their appalling stance on supporting the conservatives cronies.
Just shows what happens when politicians of any colour get involved in anything scientific. They all make a pig's ear of it. The EU stoppage of the AZ vaccine was purely political. Trying to punish the UK and make themselves look better. Nothing to do with science.

Don't care what Europe does or what their virus stats are. Lets just concentrate on the UK. Europe have envious eyes on our efficient vaccination programme and are likely to scupper it by banning exports of vaccines from Belgium to UK.'

Just think what it would have been like if we were still in the EU.
Hardly any people vaccinated and a organisation which failed to order early enough.
Thankfully we left the EU and we order enough vaccine and deaths are falling and we are moving in the right direction. Removed

What we did with licencing &ordering vaccines was done during transition when we were subject to EU rules. Just like keeping our own currency, and driving on a different side of the road, the EU never dictated how member countries deal with health issues. But Berxit fanatics are determined to bend every subject to support their distorted view of the world....
Just fink if u had ur brayn.
But wiped 40% off our exports to the EU in the process.
And by the end of the year, Europe will be largely free of Covid. But Brexit will still have trashed our economy.

2.5million Covid deaths worldwide & everyone is in a panic, shutting down the world.
8.5million world deaths due to the burning of fossil fuels in 2019.
Any one care about that? Anyone suggest even a mask?!!
Noooo... because oil Makes everyone wayyyy toooo much money so they all keep quiet about the 8.5 million world deaths

Covid is just political nonsense

Brexiteers are delighted if they perceive that other countries have difficulties with Covid-19. These people are a miserable bunch and would like others to be just as miserable as themselves.

Sour lemons.
spiteful comment
Are you happy to equally condemn thoise who were filling these pages with curses back in January and February? "World's worst" etc
At the time, many scientists were saying it's too early to call the death toll. they were right.

The sooner it's lost the better. Tired of it's pretence of neutrality, and the fact that it is defined by the 'news' it omits.

A couple of interesting elements to this tragic figure. It is poorly expressed, but it is clear that we are not an outlier across Europe, which suggests that our highest Covid figures reflect more “honest” figures than elsewhere - it hit everyone hard. Not that the (B?)BC would spell that out. Second, our death rate was actually lower than in the last years of Labour...
It's infected everywhere.
Brexiters on HYS are rejoicing at the suffering of their foreign 'enemies' like drowning men clutching at straws.

Oh but it is when you're going on about us having the worst death rate every two seconds. Guess that's over for you now, uh?
We're all in the same boat,
but some of us are looking at the stars whilst others are eyeing up the rations

Government was dishonest about the lack of PPE in the early days of the pandemic. Discharging known Covid sufferers from hospitals to care homes. The avoidable deaths in care homes is a national scandal. NHS hospital staff unable to access PPE and those who provided their own were reprimanded. Why? Because staff without PPE would be upset! Appallingly poor management. Incompetent politicians.
