Covid death statistics - interesting map...but very sad at the same time 😔

[Moomin8]

Morning Peeps,

I came across this statistical map from the government:

ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulation...

I'm not posting this to be disrespectful; I am so, so sorry if anyone has lost friends/family/colleagues/neighbours through this horrific pandemic - I apologise if this causes any offence.

I don’t see it as disrespectful, but informative!

[Lolabridge]

Very interesting. Thank you for posting.

Found the link informative, thank you for posting it.

It's not disrespectful but a reflection on the virus. I knew 4 of those in my area so yes its sad but it happened and we should not forget the virus is still here. xx

It also shows that the virus is everywhere. The clusters are population density. The ‘bare’ areas are predominantly countryside. The gap between Leeds and Manchester is the Pennines for example..

It looks like it is only showing England rates - nothing for Scotland

[Moomin8 in reply to Braecoon]

I'm sorry, no - not for Scotland.

Too many people everywhere!

[Moomin8]

It is what it is...not at all good. But I'd rather be informed tbh.

Really interesting, thank you for posting.

I found a Gov info link a few weeks ago too, comparing the death statistics from 1990-2020. Not that huge a difference. And Covid-19 was removed from the list of High Consequence Infectious Diseases back in March 2020 (which does not mean it won’t have high consequences in those most vulnerable) gov.uk/guidance/high-conseq...

Very interesting, thank you.
