Together, these figures mean that so far 43,281 deaths have been registered in the UK where Covid-19 was mentioned on the death certificate, including suspected cases.

A further 1,832 hospital patients in England who had tested positive for Covid-19 died between May 9 and May 21, according to figures published on 22 May by NHS England.

Together with the total figure of 43,281 registered deaths, this indicates the overall death toll for the UK is now just over 45,000.

The number of deaths in the UK involving Covid-19, based on death registrations, passed 10,000 on April 5 and 20,000 on April 13.

It then passed 30,000 on April 21, and 40,000 on May 3.

    Add another 20,000+ for the real figure. The Tories have been under-counting deaths from the start. Death certificates are highly edited a whistle-blowing Registrar employee has revealed. The real number is70,000+. Care homed deaths have been omitted from the pandemic’s start. All government numbers are highly edited, not to say, ficticious.

      The numbers of Covid deaths are Vastly overestimated. It seems there hasn’t been a death in months that isn’t Covid related. The supposed “progressive left” have been led by clever Plandemic “ organizers to ask to be locked up. You have all lost your collective brains.
