NHS FAIL? UK Has Highest CV-19 Death Toll in Europe, 2nd Globally
The United Kingdom now has the highest recorded coronavirus death toll in Europe, surpassing virus hotspot Italy, and second globally only to the United States of America.
Latest data collated by Johns Hopkins University puts the UK at 29,501 deaths, ahead of Italy’s 29,351 deaths, with the U.S. having the highest number of fatalities at 71,078 as of Wednesday, May 6th.
However, the UK’s official statistics body, the Office for National Statistics (ONS), puts coronavirus deaths in England and Wales as of May 2nd at 29,710.
The ONS bases this figure on the cause of death listed as coronavirus on death certificates, even if there is no confirmatory test, but doctors determine that it was likely the Chinese virus.
Different parts of the nation collect statistics at different periods, with Northern Ireland registering 393 deaths to April 29th and Scotland counting 2,272 up to April 26th, a total of 32,375 across the UK as of Wednesday, according to The Times.
That is almost half of the United States’s official death toll, with the UK only having one-fifth of America’s population, and despite the UK’s strict lockdown measures.
Professor Lockdown Resigns After Breaking Own Lockdown Rules to Meet Left-Wing ‘Open Marriage’ Lover: Report https://t.co/N8LmFZSrKS

During the Downing Street press conference on Tuesday night, First Secretary of State Dominic Raab said of the 693 new deaths on the previous day:
“I don’t think we’ll get a real verdict on how well countries have done until the pandemic is over, and in particular until we’ve got comprehensive international data on all cause mortality.”
The head of Britain’s Office for National Statistics has praised the work of his colleagues, clearly pointing to a potential differential between the British figures and others around the world down to the quality of research and counting efficiency, implying other nations numbers may lag behind for reasons of accounting.
Speaking to BBC political journalist Andrew Marr, the UK’s head statistician Sir Ian Diamond said it was impossible to calculate a reliable league table because different nations counted coronavirus deaths so differently, and refused to say the UK was at the top of deaths in Europe. He said:
“making international comparisons is an unbelievably difficult thing to do. We in this country, in my opinion — and I would say this, wouldn’t I — we have the best reporting, the most transparent reporting, and the most timely reporting.”
Modelling by The Times of excess deaths, however, suggests that as many as 55,700 people may have died because of the Chinese pandemic.
Italy previously had the highest number of deaths in Europe, with Spain at one point having the highest number of confirmed cases in the continent. While Italy has begun to loosen her lockdown measures, the end to the UK’s looks to be some distance off.
Even with Prime Minister Boris Johnson set to outline the UK’s exit strategy on Sunday, government and independent scientists have indicated that lockdowns could be intermittent for possibly another year until a vaccine for the novel Chinese COVID-19 is developed.
However, the scientific basis for the UK’s lockdown has been put under question after the resignation of Professor Neil Ferguson, the government’s senior scientific adviser and the architect of the enforced social distancing strategy, was caught breaking his own rules clandestinely meeting his married lover.

Moral of the story: Stay away from the hospitals!! Especially when they are free!?
Old fashion remedies like colloidal silver work. Of course, it’s way too simple, but when you have the coronavirus, ordinary colloidal silver becomes very reactive, and when sprayed into nasals and throat it creates a path down into the lungs. My theory is that it kills the virus/bacteria in the respiratory tract on contact. It clears the swelling or inflammation and allows the nasals windpipe to take in air.
What’s scary is that the media is calling it a fake cure, with no evidence. But how many people could have been saved if they just had a bottle of silver? One small spray lasts for hours. [So keep spraying and drinking some to clear the virus.] At the time, I was going through it, I didn’t realize it was the virus, just realized air wasn’t going into my nose for some strange reason, and thought to spray some silver.
This was with a few drops of silver spay and by the next day I ran out and it dawns on me that I’m really not breathing, but what I had bought to prepare for the virus, seeing China and Italy, was some chlorine dioxide/MMS. So I thought let me take a little bit more, as in 4 drops, as soon as I drank it, I could feel the chlorine dioxide stream towards my lungs and I could breathe. [Oxygenation via the stomach lining? Or did the ClO2 directly attack the virus?] Chest still felt stiff, but the hold virus had over the lungs was broken. Also, my 4-6 drops/day was too low, and a terrible lung feeling persisted for a couple of weeks, so stepped up the dose to 10 drops over two intermittent days and this melted it away.
Listening to the media today could literally cost you your life.
ClO2 is what they were mocking Trump for. Which can also be injected, for those on a ventilator and about to die.

I don’t think any blame for this can be attributed to the NHS, except possibly senior management. The reason in my opinion for the alleged high number of virus deaths is because clinicians have been instructed to list deaths as from the virus even where no test has been done, and it is ‘assumed’ the virus killed them, whereas in reality, most will have died from the underlying health conditions they already had, and would likely have died anyway, whether there was a virus or not.

Would it be more accurate to state that UK GOV/msm accounting of the death-toll has the greatest statistical bias, couched in a neurolinguistic framework unparalleled in europe.
ferguson stepped down which is not the same as resigning as far as I can tell.
There may have more pandemic frighteners up his sleeve and he has not been discarded from future use as yet – October 31 is only ~ 5 months away! marking the beginning of the next cold season.

Britain has a population of 67,886,011. Deaths are 29,710.
Therefor % death 0.04, which, if you believe the figures, is about 1 in every 2500 British citizens will die of COVID19.

Or it could be 4 in every 2500. Can someone please tell me which is the correct figure and maybe provide a webpage that allows you to calculate both the percentage and risk factor at the same time.

195 countries with Corona. 37 countries with no deaths.
The UK now has more deaths than 184 countries put together. Data from Worldometer.
This is utter bull**** figures coming out of the UK-
Great Britain
“Cumulative all-cause mortality in the UK remains in the range of the five strongest flu waves in the last 25 years. The peak in daily hospital deaths was already reached on April 8 (s. chart below).
New statistical data show that in mid-April, out of about 12,000 additional deaths, about 9,000 were „related to Covid“ (including „suspected cases“), but about 3,000 were „not related to Covid“. Moreover, of the total of about 7300 deaths in nursing homes, only about 2000 were „related to Covid“. In both the „Covid19 deaths“ and the non-covid19 deaths, it is often unclear what these people actually died of. The Association of British Pathologists has therefore called for a „systematic review of the true causes of death“.
The temporary „Nightingale“ hospitals in the UK have so far remained largely empty. A similar situation was already seen in China, the US and many other countries.
At the end of April it became known that the lockdown was apparently not, as officially stated, recommended by a scientific commission alone, but that a high government advisor had „pushed“ the scientists to support the lockdown.
Peter Hitchens: We’re destroying the nation’s wealth – and the health of millions. „If you don’t defend your most basic freedom, the one to go lawfully where you wish when you wish, then you will lose it for ever. And that is not all you will lose. Look at the censorship of the internet, spreading like a great dark blot, the death of Parliament, the conversion of the police into a state militia.“

“The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford shows that COVID-19 deaths in England peaked on 8th April, too soon to have been influenced by ‘lockdown’ measures. As in USA death certificates are ‘generous’ with C-19 attributions. April 8th is based on the actual dates of death not the reported dates”
