Deaths from respiratory illnesses in UK 2 years ago and this year

SHARE
Professor Anthony Costello of University College London's Institute for Global Health told the House of Commons Health and Social Care Select Committee the UK "could see 40,000 deaths in this wave" of coronavirus cases.


Presumably that includes deaths before and after the lockdown is lifted, because we can't wait till the last man dies before lifting it.


Two years ago 58,000 deaths from respiratory illnesses were recorded in the UK, 40,000 more than normal, and the increase was scarcely mentioned in the press.
