Deaths Un England And Wales

[ukanonymous]

Hey everyone again I was just checking as i do about the number of deaths per year. I cant remember 1993 as I was a wee bit too young 9r as they say a glimt in my dads eye hehe but was there a health problem then also? I know there was mad cow disease and swine flu from what i remember but did it kill a lot of people?

Ps i verified this image but can't seam to go prior 2000 so maybe if you see any problems with it you could also tell me. I cant use my laptop at the moment its updating :(

Thank you :)

when they say "a glint in your dad's eye" it means before you were conceived, not when you were young.
I refuse to think of 1993 as history :)
i'm sure mad cow disease did not kill "a lot" of people, and even those it did kill were "delayed" ie you didn't eat a burger then keel over, you ate whatever, then 20 years later got vCJD then died. I believe deaths were very small - probably about the equivalent to a plane crash

also 1993 was a bit early for swine flu - by about 15 years

Don't think I've ever encountered such a gloom merchant as you UKanon

I think it was just the normal rise and fall that there is over any number of years.

There was an epidemic of so-called Beijing Flu in winter 1993-94

just normal variation; it could be attributable to a baby boom after the First World War, so more of them dying in their 70s. You might also ask why fewer people were dying around 2010 - fewer births during WW2? You'd need a proper statistician to explain if there was any significance in it.

Not sure why you need to ask such a question when the information is available via a general google search

I would say you need to get out more though for a bit of fresh air

What's the specific context of this question, and in particular, does it have anything to do with trying to place Covid-19 in context?

[ukanonymous]

I guess the population back the was lower too so the mortalityrate was super high even compared to the current pandemic im just trying to work out why. Must be a reason

[Paigntonian]

Not entirely convinced you have a handle on your own question my friend.

ukanon is a militant veggie and if you note tags swine flu and cjd as examples of mass killer causes of death. Or hopes to. Mind you the annual death rates in the link are somewhat enlightening. More people died in 1999, 1919, and 1996 than did in 2020 without a murmur from the press and social meltdown, lockdown, and hysteria 24/7.

It does seem strange that, despite Covid, the death rate overall was not even the highest.

normal variation

This is what confuses me i thought last year loads of people would be snuffing it but it seams not. Its really weird I dont get it.

[Peter Pedant]

what confuses me hehe is that you are confused by any of the figures but I am kinda like that - inquiring I mean

[ichkeria]

They were “snuffing it”

Surprise surprise the real reason for your question.
I’m lucky enough not to have had a relative or friend die of the current virus touch wood but believe me if I had I’d be very very cross with you indeed.

[Peter Pedant]

oh 2020, not 1993

"For England, the year-to-date age-standardised mortality rate for 2020 was 1,029.4 deaths per 100,000 people, which was statistically significantly higher than all years between 2009 and 2019. "

yup no one died, there must be a conspiracy about this!

[Neveracrossword]

The figure -for 2020 - given in the link said something like 'estimate'. The full figure, given on other Government websites, was 608,000, considerably more.

Hi Ikkie - we have a lot of this over er 12 months, kicked off by NJ and a fella named Douglas Spiegenhalter

the death curves overlay each other and when Dougie was called to account, he "explained" - "oh yeah you have to ADD one curve to the other and then you get the statistical recorded effect we know of - of doubling"

he is still living it down

then we had there is no covid and no one is dying - erm yeah
and then we had covid = flu and it is just relabelling

so the covid deniers, I grant have been giving it a good go he he

[Peter Pedant]

hey does anyone think covid is really chinese ebola?
