TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) https://twitter.com/BNOFeed/status/1772081376600240639 Info from the U.S. CDC showing the 1,000+ weekly COVID deaths current streak began the week of August 26 and has continued through March 2: Source link: As for the two gray-colored columns at the far end of the chart, those are as yet incomplete, only partial counts, and thus colored differently: "Data during recent periods are incomplete because of the lag in time between when a death occurs and when a death certificate is completed, submitted to NCHS, and processed for reporting. This delay can range from 1 week to 8 weeks or more, depending on the jurisdiction. The most recent 3 weeks of mortality counts are shaded grey and mortality rates shown as dotted lines because NVSS reporting is <95% during this period." The deaths counted above are those where the death certificates listed COVID as either the primary or contributing cause of death. Let's hope this streak will come to an end soon ... and not be repeated. Edited March 27 by TallGuyJohninBKK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see much about Covid in the UK press these days ? The following looks like the best, most up-to-date COVID stats I could find for England -- 157 COVID deaths for the most recent week in what has been a recently declining trend: https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/ So the above chart basically is showing 800 COVID-cited deaths in England over the past four weeks, with the recent weekly numbers declining each week, but still above the lows of mid-2023. https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/topics/covid-19#deaths In general, like in a lot of other places including the U.S. and Thailand, other COVID indicators for England have generally been getting better/improving since the recent peaks of around January, likely part of the emerging seasonal peaks and declines of COVID. At the beginning/first week of 2024, the UK health agency reported about 5 new COVID hospitalizations per 100,000 population in England. By the recent data for Week 11 thru March 17, that weekly per capita rate was down to 1.85 per 100,000 population. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/flu-and-covid-19-surveillance-report-published https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65fc087265ca2f00117da72f/Weekly-flu-and-COVID-19-surveillance-report_wk12.pdf That translates into almost 1,700 patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID in England as of March 17, per the second chart below. The comparable number was more than 4,200 at the start of 2024: https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/topics/covid-19#healthcare The question of course in England and elsewhere on this is what comes next -- do the current downward trends persist, or are they just a lull before the next COVID peak.

dhupverg Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Are all of these young healthy people, or are they old, obese, with metabolic conditions and have multiple co morbidities ? Might want to put some context to shed light on this instead of just posting numbers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 (edited) They're people whom, by definition, their attending MD determined that COVID was either the primary cause of their death or a contributing cause of their death, and stated so on their death certificate. I'm sure they're generally older as a group.... but I don't know that the CDC has provided any more detailed breakdown of their particulars for the most recent deaths...since the US emergency declaration ended. Bottom line is they died because of COVID, either predominantly as the cause, or at least partially as the cause.

TorquayFan Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Thanks TGJB - lest we forget ! And good to see those UK stats. Vit D3 5000iu and a mask on the plane for me. But endemic now . . . not the other one. ATB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 (edited) Looks like the U.S.'s streak of 1,000+ COVID deaths has continued for another week, now reaching 29 consecutive weeks, just barely. The CDC's latest update with official numbers shows 1,002 COVID deaths for the week ending March 9 (the last/most recent blue-shaded column), as shown below. The gray-shaded columns for the other 3 most recent weeks are shaded in a different color because the data for those weeks for now remains incomplete. CDC source link: The relatively good news here is the comparable weekly U.S. COVID deaths count for the same week a year ago in 2023 -- 1,852 for the week ending March 11, 2023 -- was almost double the current number for 2024, showing that the fatalities situation, while still high, has been getting better.

Robert Paulson Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 How many people has the vaccine killed? How many people did the lockdowns kill? How many are depressed, homeless etc due to the lockdowns? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Thankfully, it looks like the U.S.'s recent streak of consecutive 1,000+ weekly COVID deaths has ended at 29 straight weeks, with the latest official update coming in at just under 1,000 -- specifically, 961 new U.S. COVID deaths for the week ending March 16 (the last column shaded in blue, meaning it's considered "official."). CDC source link: The other broader COVID trends in the U.S. also are continuing to improve now during the spring, which last year also was a low period before COVID deaths and hospitalizations rebounded and rose markedly in the fall heading into the new year (as shown in the above chart). Remains to be seen whether the same fall rebound trend will occur again this year. These days, as shown below, it's considered good news when the U.S. has only 7,000+ new COVID hospitalizations for the week. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
