They say that between 1 March and 30 June, there were 50,335 deaths involving Covid-19 in England and Wales. 46,736 of those deaths had COVID-19 assigned as the underlying cause of death. Some 26% of those who died had dementia and Alzheimers, the ONS said.

I don't get it... there are still the excess deaths, the fact PHE is run effectively by the government, there are a high number of false negatives / positives AND why would doctors lie about cause of death

Didn't they say it's not the right time for a review of any kind? Hmmmm

Amazing how quickly the government order a review when it thinks figures may work in its favour, but reviews are always ‘too soon’ if possible result could be detrimental.

At 10 Every day is a circus. BoristheClown

Some tested for Covid died of other causes. Some died of Covid weren’t tested. 65k excess deaths remains sadly true. In other news, Govt unable to obtain contacts from c30% of those tested positive and have zero measures of whether those promising to self isolate actually did.

Any figures communicated by Hancock / Johnson have no cred. because of all the previous clever talk, sharp accounting and general deceit. It's way too late for them to recover their reputations.

Anyone want to bet this winter will be a total and utter disaster. or as the Government will say - 'the magnitude of the Second Wave was unprecedented, but our response was a World Beating global success.' I bet SAGE have already told them to Lockdown now...

The emergency is to make people wear a mask instead of 0.1% of the population, not to spend money trying to pretend that someone died of 'mysterious lung damage' instead of 'covid-induced lung damage'... I don't understand this country

Here we go ... the great rewright of Covid19 history. It’s still likely that Corona Virus had a element to play in these deaths as it does so much damage to the body. The UK government just want to lower the numbers before the enquiry. NeverTrustATory

How about an urgent review of the competency of Matt Cockhand?

The statistics he tried to fiddle to make the tories look good? I'm sure it'll be a very 'thorough' investigation wink-wink

Coronavirus: Matt Hancock 'worried' about 'debilitating' long-term impact of COVID-19Health Secretary Matt Hancock admits he is 'worried' about the long-term impacts of coronavirus on those who have been infected Hancock Boris are turning into a right pair of totalitarian despots. Despite a 90% drop in death rates since April with the majority of us not wearing face masks they impose mandatory muzzling on us!! I'm still in shock majority of treatment has been delayed or stopped, its saving the NHS but not lives. Health care will soon be only for those privalidged enough Why is all this ‘wondering’ out loud re the Corona Virus? I believe statements saying this virus may have long-term impact & other doomsday projections are put out to create fear and anxiety. There is no actual science; they’re just saying whatever comes into their heads.
