Before anyone says it’s the jabz; it can’t be the jabz because the jabz only give young men strokes and heart attacks apparently, not men over 50.
2023 is going to set a new record again if something doesn’t change fucking soon.

Doctors are baffled!
“We don’t know what’s causing it but it’s definitely nothing we did”
Good thing we lost billions of pounds, and ten billions of man hours of education for our young, to give Ethel an extra few years (60 million every day schools were closed)
At this point, just buy some popcorn and wait for the collapse of the country.
Reminder that hospitals were much quieter than usual during covid.
And I’m sure it’s nothing to do with locking everyone in their homes for over a year, closing gyms, pools, group exercise activities (including outdoor ones such as Parkrun) and telling people not to go to their GP/Hospital with anything other than COVID (despite hospitals not being near as busy as they are now).
Of course anyone who questioned this at the time or suggested this would cause these issues down the line (e.g. Karol Sikora) were labelled ‘dangerous’ and a ‘granny killer’.
I just wish the BBC would be honest and admit that endorsing and encouraging that lunacy in 2020/2021 which is largely responsible for the current economic/healthcare crisis we’re all experiencing was a dumb move.
So far. It will get worse as the NHS backlog continues to grow and we see the effects of people’s lack of access to scans and screens over the last two years. Poverty also means people will see their health suffer due to malnutrition, stress and poor accommodation. We already had poorer health outcomes than many other European countries but our poor COVID response and our increasing inequality is only going to make those even worse. The only solution our government is offering is to go private as well, creating a lovely two-tier system for us to use.
Don’t politicise this if you banged pots or defended lockdowns, social distancing and other measures.
Clickbait nonsense. The BBC should be ashamed of itself. The death rate now is lower than any year 1950 to 2010.

In the pandemic year 2020 there were 689,629 UK deaths. There were 670,656 deaths in 1985 (from a much smaller population) and the economy grew 4.1%.

Last year (2022). 650,000 died. More people died in every year from 1972 to 1984, again from a smaller population.
