[QUOTE="Honeyend, post: 2261917, member: 430576"] I think you have to look at the context that most of the deaths are in people over 70 who are likely to have hypertension, and Type 2, and a lot are in care homes, so many will be frail to start off with. [URL]https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsregisteredweeklyinenglandandwalesprovisional/weekending1may2020#deaths-registered-by-age-group[/URL] Someone suggested the total increased death rate was because we had a mild winter so people who would have normally died in a more severe winter have had their death caused by CV. We know that the risks increase if you are in crowded situations, and before you go back to work I would want a risk assesment and to know what PPE they have. [/QUOTE]
