• 00:00:00 The UK has seen a dramatic increase in the number of excess deaths, with the number of non-covert deaths surpassing the number of covert deaths. The increase is likely due to a number of factors, including coronavirus deaths. However, the number of symptomatic cases is decreasing, indicating that the virus is likely causing fewer deaths overall.
• 00:05:00 The video discusses recent data from England suggesting that there has been a dramatic increase in diagnosed cases of XPB15, but no increase in symptomatic cases. It is likely that this increase is due to the introduction of new genomics testing methods, which are detecting cases of the virus that were previously undetected. The data also indicates that the overall prevalence of the virus is high, with one in 21 people in the UK infected and one in 25 people in Scotland infected. There has been a slight decrease in the younger age groups, but no change in the older age groups.
• 00:10:00 The Office of National Statistics has released data indicating that, although infection may reduce the likelihood of reinfection, it does not offer long-term protection. Hospitalizations are going down, but intensive care admissions are still low. Obesity is one of the main risk factors for death in people infected with SARS coronavirus.
• 00:15:00 The UK is seeing an increase in non-covered deaths, which is alarming as it underscores the need for the government to take action to reduce the number of deaths from obesity.
