Someone I know has finally sent me the figures on Covid only deaths, so I thought I’d pass them on as some of you might be interested.

^Please see below for death registrations for 2020 and 2021 (provisional) that were due to COVID-19 and were recorded without any pre-existing conditions, England and Wales.

2020: 9400 (0-64: 1549 / 65 and over: 7851)

2021 Q1: 6483 (0-64: 1560/ 65 and over: 4923)

2021 Q2: 346 (0-64: 153/ 65 and over: 193)

2021 Q3: 1142 (0-64: 512/ 65 and over: 630)^

www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/deathsfromcovid19withnootherunderlyingcauses?s=08

This totals as 17,371.

The BBC News reports on the Covid deaths are now saying that some of the deaths are people with Covid, not necessarily from Covid.

Only started saying that the last few days.

Just felt I must add, our beautiful son age 21, deafblind cerebral palsy was in hospital requiring urgent major abdominal surgery. Two days before he was asymptomatic but tested positive for covid, the surgery had to go ahead. Sadly died 3 days postoperatively. We had to put our foot down that covid was not on the death certificate .
Pleased about the BBC Calendargirl

So an accidental fall over an object which someone carelessly left in your way is defined as a pre-existing condition!

Accidental falls can and do lead to pneumonia through lack of mobility. Also PE, blood clots, non of these occurring before the fall. So yes a pre condition.
