This one is going round the truthers at the minute without a source and without any investigation. So immediately I think, well if you're gunna be dying of covid you're much more likely to be in the hospital in the run up to that event. Additionally they're not gonna get you to go home to die are they. So I looked up the statistics from the ONS just for Yorkshire and its simply not true what they're claiming *what a shocker lol*.
Here's the link if you want to play with the filters and download the data.
They don't understand the stats for that, surprise. The ONS COVID death numbers throughout were higher than those reported on the daily updates for this very reason. The people that died at home of likely COVID who hadn't been tested prior to death, or had been tested, positive, but then their deaths were slower to be recorded as a figure due to a delay in registering the death compared with them being able to quickly grab data being produced regarding deaths on hospital sites, or those who did go to post mortem examination before COVID was concluded.
Loads of people died at home, especially in the first wave. I remember the anger at the time as people were being tested, were positive, but then were advised to stay at home and then by the time they were ill enough to seek help, they had either passed before family were aware or ambulances weren't there quick enough. Look at all the care home deaths! Many older or extremely frail people who had coexisting health issues and were already deemed unlikely to survive ANY ICU stay nevermind a COVID one will likely have died at home.
The majority will have died in hospital with it though and that is because this isn't some heart attack during sleep or medicated end of life cancer death where it is expected and plans (hopefully) are put in place for nurses to visit as necessary for symptom relief (I apologise if that sounds cold as definitely not intended), the inability to breathe and the panic that creates will have had many try to get medical help so most will have died in hospital.
I thought i had ear infection for months but turned out it was perforated ear drum that i’d been making worse (and putting off going to get checked out) and ended up having an operation. Am now deaf in that ear. Stupid rotten witch.View attachment 775194
