dufus Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 The data provided by NHS England gives an insight into how pre-existing conditions can affect those with coronavirus. Ninety-five percent of people who have died with COVID-19 in hospitals in England had underlying health issues, according to figures obtained by Sky News. The data provided by NHS England shows that, as of 5pm on 26 April, 18,749 people had died in hospital with the virus. In a small number of cases, it was not possible to confirm if a patient did or did not have an underlying health condition. But for those where it was, 95% were found to have serious pre-existing issues. In patients over 80-years-old this figure was 96%, 60-79-years-old 95%, 40-59-years-old 88% and 20-39-years-old 82%. The breakdown for those under the age of 20 who have died cannot be disclosed as the sample is so small it would breach patient confidentiality rules to distinguish between those with or without pre-existing conditions. The data does not include hospital deaths in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, in the community or in care homes. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlston Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Would have been nice if the journalist had listed what these "pre-existing conditions" are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably respiratory or cardiac issues. I've read reports that the virus seems to be having strange effects on blood, causing massive quantities of micro-clots to appear in the bloodstream, which would hit folks with respiratory issues the hardest.

Disco Bob Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Watch for SKY NEWS as they push anything that is misery so people watch the same " news " on loop every half hour ...... SKY are pushing a " theory " also that the Russian , China and Iran states are hacking research labs but no intelligence agencies have confirmed nothing ... We have different figures every day but here are the office of national statistics https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsinvolvingcovid19englandandwales/deathsoccurringinmarch2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
