COVID deaths stats vs other common death stats

[BlackDiamond]

That won't have much influence on a percentage that doesn't include a decimal point..

Oh yes it does

Last year's excess death rate, when applied against population size was marginally worse than previous years

Which is why a baseline over 5 years smooths out individual year anomalies.

These are the gov.uk figures of non-COVID recorded deaths from last year.
Obviously COVID is higher than all of these pre-vaccine but just a few taps on a calculator to work out daily death rates and compare these to the mortality figures for the 3rd “wave” should help put things into perspective.

“Pingdemic”?
Too many frightened mugs.

And that's the whole point, you have to look for it because it doesn't fit the government message.
