Anybody out there know what the average death rate per day in the UK is? Would be useful to see alongside the Coronavirus daily death toll. Probably too early for statistics on total all caused death toll / day in the UK, or is it? Please give a sensible source for the figures. No Thorstatistics please.

Around 10000 a week around this time of year. Including around 1500 from respiratory diseases.

Those numbers relate to England and Wales. He asked about the UK.

We just can't keep count of the fatality rate in Scotchlandshire

9.398 deaths per 1000 people
The death rate for U.K. in 2019 was 9.398 deaths per 1000 people, a 0.17% increase from 2018.

I fear/hope that you have got your point in the wrong place. Otherwise your suggesting half a million+ per day by my reckoning.

Percentage of people currently infected with Covid-19 in the UK: 0.0142500374%

Percentage of deaths from Covid-19 in the UK : 0.0006953791%

Another way of putting it is this:
If you took a group of 287,613 people at random in the UK, then 2 have died of Coronavirus
If you took a group of 414,034 people at random in the UK, then 59 of them have Cornonavirus.

Or put another way:

1 person in every 143,806 has died
1 person in every 7,017 is infected.

(not official, just done in excel)
Let's hope it doesn't get significantly worse than that.

Most of those deaths will be sudden, like car accidents, or from old age in care homes. A better figure, if we had it, would be people dying in hospitals in intensive care. Italy currently have around 5000 coronavirus deaths per week, so you can see why hospitals would be overwhelmed.

If someone walked into an intensive care ward and bludgeoned everyone to death...

I was amazed to see how few ICU beds there are in the UK. 1 per 165,000 people by my calculation!

I wasn't amazed in the slightest.

The Tories did that to the NHS because the rich use private medicine and have no interest in the NHS. I include many of the money oriented Doctors/Consultants in this.
