Corona Virus: 9 In 10 Dying Have Pre-existing Illness - BBC by Bevista: 2:24pm On Apr 16, 2020
More than nine in 10 people dying with coronavirus have an underlying health condition, figures from the Office for National Statistics show.
---
The ONS looked at nearly 4,000 deaths during March in England and Wales where coronavirus was mentioned on the death certificate.

In 91% of cases the individuals had other health problems.

The most common was heart disease, followed by dementia and respiratory illness.

On average, people dying also had roughly three other health conditions.

What else does the analysis say?

The ONS has also looked at the differences in death rates by age and sex.

Men are twice as likely to die with coronavirus.

Unsurprisingly, the risk of dying increases with age, rising sharply from age 60 onwards.

The ONS has also looked to what extent coronavirus is causing the death of individuals rather than another condition being more of a factor.

In most cases it was judged to be the cause that triggered their death.

To what extent is coronavirus shortening lives?

This is extremely hard to judge.

Nick Stripe, head of health analysis at the ONS, said understanding what the deaths from coronavirus meant was "difficult and challenging".

He pointed out the risk of dying from heart disease and strokes had fallen, which could suggest they were dying from coronavirus instead of other things.

But he said there was other evidence which suggested the deaths were "on top of" what would be expected.

He said further research and debate were needed to explore the true impact of the virus on mortality.

The BBC's head of statistics, Robert Cuffe, agreed.

"Coronavirus is doing more than taking the place of other causes of death for people who would otherwise have died this month," he said.

"It has driven the total number of deaths higher than expected.

"people like these, with multiple health conditions, do have lower life expectancy, but these figures don't say exactly how many months or years coronavirus has taken off their life."

I have pointed this out several times. The death figures from the phony Corona Virus pandemic has been way over inflated. Fareed Zakaria of CNN even acknowledged this as well.

The mainstream media is deliberately creating hysteria about the virus to help their global imperialists achieve an agenda. Flu kills more than 600k persons every year, kills more 6m people every year, malaria kills more than 500k people every year, yet we don't get these sort of hysteria let alone shutdowns.

Wrong! These persons would've still died regardless and we wouldn't hear anything about their deaths. Statistics have shown that deaths from other causes have dropped in the same proportion as the increase in deaths from Covid-19, meaning most deaths from other causes have simply been reclassified as deaths from Covid-19.

I believe that, even when they had those sickness, they probably must have contracted the new virus and making their health status even more complicated....So it will still have to be that, they got killed by coronavirus...


Because, the hospitals run a test to check for the virus, before ascertaining if they were actually killed by other sickness or not.....

Wrong. That's not an interview but a research by the Office of National Statistics (ONS), the official statistics agency in the UK. I've heard exactly the same thing for Italy and the US.

There is no empirical data to confirm this. On the contrary, statistics show there has been no excess mortality above the normal average deaths during this period.

If I give you 100 apples and you decide to paint 20 of them red, does that increase your total number of apples? No, it simply increases your number of red apples.
