UK Covid-19 death toll surpasses 15,000 as 888 people die with coronavirus in last 24 hours

AFPAn ancient ritual has gone ahead at the Holy Sepulchre Church in Jerusalem for Orthodox Easter, without the usual crush of thousands of pilgrims.

During the Holy Fire Ceremony, a handful of Orthodox priests wearing face masks were present for what is seen as a miracle at the site revered by Christians as the location of Christ’s crucifixion, burial and resurrection. As always, the Greek Orthodox patriarch circled the tomb, then entered and emerged with candles said to have been lit by a heavenly flame.

Usually, at this point, a big roar goes up from the crowd in the church and the fire is passed from candle to candle, to be taken to far-flung Orthodox Christian communities. This year, special arrangements were made with the Israeli authorities allowing planes to collect the flame from Ben Gurion airport - on the condition that nobody onboard disembarked to avoid breaking quarantine rules.

BBCPolitics Because Boris was an utterly negligent absent prime minister. Blood on his hands

How many recovered? Why will no one report this? We know it's bad, real bad but ffs give us some hope!!!

Typical BBC and other mainstream media propaganda. 'Die with coronavirus...' dying with COVID19 does not equal dying because of COVID19. Anything to keep up the fear mongering.

Why did Robert Jenrick MP,at today's Coronavirus: Downing Street Briefing, give the following figures: Covid tests carried out = 460,437 Covid positive results = 114,217 Who is reporting the truth regarding tests carried out? The BBC, with 357,023, or the Government with 460,437?

The BBC has taken every opportunity to politicise a global pandemic, to misinform the public, quote & interview doctors/nurses with clear political agendas. You are culpable for mass panic & the mental health issues that may be experienced by thousands.

BBCPolitics

Makes me wonder if the lockdown is doing any good

...You are only reporting hospital deaths there. Other European countries have figures of 40%+ of Covid deaths being at home. Most likely the figure 'surpassed 15'000' ages ago.

I’m wondering why the level of death in the UK is so high comparing with other countries such as Germany

England 784 Scotland 56 Wales 28 NI 17 total 885, where is the other 3 to total 888 for today?

It tears my heart apart to hear the numbers. The souls lost.

I think our Govn should stop suger coating the death toll figures. The 20,000 figure in Spain has been surpassed already in UK when you add the 6,000/7,000 nursing home or deaths outside hospital the Govn is choosing to exclude from UK death toll figure.

We're in a position where we may have a country of kids and OAPs. Let's hope Unite never have to run the UK. They'd moan about everything. Imagine nobody to work, pay tax, nobody to teach, being carers 10-16 or 70+ cos there's noone else left. We need to have folk who can work.

Shocking figures!!!!! 😡

Yeah, I'm in a high risk group myself, But BBC, take your phony concern, Add your propaganda, Put in your cherrypicked leftist 'experts' and biased pundits with their 20/20 hindsight AND SHOVE THE WHOLE RANCID LOT UP THE FOETID ARSE THAT IS YOUR WHOLE FAKE NEWS OPERATION

Plus 7,500 in care homes and God knows how many in their own homes! A catastrophic handling of this epidemic by our government.

Looks like Germany and Norway have figured something out. It's not a secret... either. 1) Early national stay at home guidance and 2) Testing, testing, testing and more testing. Hey, maybe we'll be ready for the next pandemic... Source:

The guy from Unite is making the case for the dissolution of the NHS. And a situation where only those that can afford to pay for treatment, including the wages of the staff and their PPE will be forthcoming. He might as well ask for a 250 hour day, cos 24 hours is not enough.

We should all follow Germany's advice for now banned Mass Gatherings for 3 or 4 Months. Lock Parks and Beaches and have a situation 'Under Control' and relax.

BBC I am writing to ask why bbc keep silent about ccp arresting 14 decocracy leaders in Hong Kong. If UK respects the UK-sino agreement on Hong Kong UK must condem this. This is crazy. BBC uses ccp numbers in this pandemic keeping silent about Hongkong. Are we for justice or not.

Died in the last 24 hrs ....or the confirmed test cases in the last 24 hrs

But what has really gone wrong!? 🤒🤒🤒🤒

ONS data on weekly deaths is more accurate, but there is a delay of a couple weeks before it comes out. It shows the number of deaths has increased dramatically. (Normal weekly death rate is about 10,000, but higher in winter.)

It will NOT STOP if You not do anything.

So that awful figure of 888 is actually people who died in the last 24 hours. Are you sure, because I recall the CMO saying weeks ago that figure would be the rise in the total number of deaths and would include deaths occurring during the previous few days but just reported.

According to my Brexit friend , it's all down to 5G and not global warming.

BBCPolitics RIP to these people they are not just numbers on a page

Recoveries ?

This week figures will sharply decrease for the Remoaners on here getting excited with these figures.

Its a long journey....not promising at all

What a massive balls up the government have made of this. Ignorance is killing a lot of our people!!

So in reality 1000+ are dying every 24 hours (when you include Care homes, houses etc)? Scary stuff. Final number is going to be horrific, sadly.

15,000x2

BBCPolitics The government inadvertently set a target of 20K deaths by end of April. This was based on best case scenario of reaching their intended target of 100K tests a day. Which target do you think they will achieve?

Just stop all immigration until this is over and then we need strict controls.

Inform us about recoveries please

And they said it could be 40,000 by the time this is over-We could be there before The end of May if this carries on! and if this doesn't convince everyone on the planet not to vote Tory at the next Election, nothing will! CoronaUpdate

power too much! Of course socialists are already obedient DOGS who do whatever the govt tells them to do! Roll over! Fetch! Give up your freedom! Mindless Useful Idiots! Herd Immunity is what's best! You get it! You're miserable for a couple of weeks BUT THEN you're immune!!!

Ask the scientists to show you how they have isolated covid-19. They can't! All they can do is collude with the media to spread fear. It has, is and always will be about control over what the population/sheep are told.

Probably doesn't help when Police and Paramedics social gathered on Thursday clapping for the NHS. Give it a couple of Weeks, then we'll have even more Cases!

When all the 'uncounted' from care homes, the community and in hospital (but without Covid 19 specifically mentioned on the death certificate) are included are we now at 20,000 deaths? Then there are people with 'ordinary' deaths who could not get treatment and died.

And what about those dying in care homes and at home? Are they included? Why are there so deaths in comparison to South Korea?

What it should say is 888 deaths recorded within the last 24 hours but I guess that doesn’t quite have the same shock value.

BBCPolitics For all those with petrol cans and kindling at the ready to blow this all up for their political ideology, a question to you - how many of these people who died were days / weeks / months away of dying from “natural” causes?

People are in such a hysteria! HELLO?! 98% of those who get the Corona Virus Recover! Period! The Elderly & those with serious health conditions DO NEED to be isolated BUT everyone else could return to their normal lives BUT the radical liberal politicians are enjoying their....

Scottlands not hit! Or reacht its peak of all this yet!!! :( 😭😭😭😢😢😢😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔

Well the royal blood was hit by corona virus 19 the Prince its not so posed to be because he is a Royal blood but I don’t know why in my understanding royal blood is deferent from every body I think no offense nothing personal that’s is my only view

Huge.. NHS why huge death?..

This is what happens when your government keeps telling lies and reacting too slow

Try your own article Tom understand the figures Coronavirus: How to understand the death toll

How?

Just numbers, no real context. Is it so hard to show graphs which easily enable us to visualise trends?

Well over a thousand a day if you include out of Hospital Deaths

And still some non essential jobs are allowed I.e construction workers .Where Spain and Italy did shut down the construction industry and we are going to fly past them death rate wise .

Still very high numbers of daily deaths and low numbers of tests. At some point, even the strongest supporters of Johnson's government will have to accept the fact that it failed miserably.

Ok now were running out of time. Because the British people are stupid!

Stay home and patience😤

😢

This will hurt everyone

God intervene

Only around 12% of these died OF coronavirus. The rest are flu and pneumonia, organ failure, heart attacks etc

BBCPolitics Just to mention in Chiangmai yesterday thousands rioted with no Social distance observed naturally as food was being distributed to people who have no money and are starving Saying Thailand the most polluted country in the world is dealing with Covid19 in a superior way is tosh .

PennyPitstop3 UK Covid-19 death toll IN HOSPITALS surpasses 15,000

What's the best solution for this crisis?

When is the media gonna add care home deaths and home deaths to the total?

COMPLETE FAILURE! Since February they have at least 14 testing facilities which said they could TEST but needed a little support to ramp up testing, a lot of labs were in private hands, that's why they needed a little bit of support! SkyNews Keir_Starmer BorisJohnson

Government said less than 20k was a good result. We’ll be there in 5/6 days. And that’s not including care homes or deaths in the community

We need daily, yes daily postings of Confirmed cases Deaths Recovered. No matter how good or bad. The public needs to know the stats. Please.

I don’t think the concept of herd immunity as advocated by the government is working 🤔😡
