Death Figures in Hospitals Due to Covid-19
Dear Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust,
I can see the figures which are published online & the news is using to state how many people have died from Covid-19, but this data relates to deaths for any reason within 28 days of a positive Covid test.
These figures have nothing to do with deaths from Covid or even deaths in which Covid is causing health problems, only to deaths after a positive test even if they have no Covid symptoms or health related problems.
I would like to know:
1: how many people have died in your hospitals from Covid19 alone (as in they died only due to Covid19).
2: how many people have died in your hospitals due to Covid19 symptoms being a significant factor for the reason of death.
Yours faithfully,
Jonathan
