• e-mail

The number of people dying in care homes 急に上がるd by 61 per cent during March and April as the Covid-19 突発／発生 gripped England and むちの跡s, 政府 data 明らかにする／漏らすd today.?

Office for 国家の 統計（学） (ONS) 人物／姿／数字s showed hospital deaths fell by 21 per cent between March 7 and May 1, while they rose 43 per cent in 私的な homes.

It comes as more than a tenth of care homes 調査するd by the 国家の Care 会議 (NCF) had not been given coronavirus 実験（する）ing 道具s by the start of this week.?

In a first-of-its-肉親，親類d 報告（する）／憶測, statisticians said undiagnosed 事例／患者s were a 'likely explanation' for many of the 13,000 超過 deaths not 直接／まっすぐに linked to Covid-19.

But it also 定評のある that thousands of people may have 避けるd getting 医療の help out of 恐れる of catching the ウイルス or 追加するing extra 緊張する to an already over-stretched?NHS.

いっそう少なく NHS hospital capacity and 延期するd 治療 may also have been to 非難する, 同様に as higher levels of 強調する／ストレス as a result of the 前例のない lockdown 課すd on March 23, the ONS said.

ONS data shows a large spike in the number of people dying in care homes in April, the 頂点（に達する） of Britain's coronavirus 危機, as thousands より小数の people died in hospitals during that time

More than a ４半期/4分の1 of all 超過 deaths 記録，記録的な／記録するd in March and April were not 公式に linked to Covid-19, statisticians 設立する, but they sus pect many of those were 簡単に undiagnosed 事例／患者s

But in a 熟考する／考慮する by the NCF, which 代表するs 120 not-for-利益（をあげる） care organisations, 13 per cent of care homes that 答える／応じるd were still without home 実験（する）ing 道具s as of June 2.

And even for the 87 per cent that did receive the 実験（する）s, the care provider 会員の地位 団体／死体 said there were still some '重要な challenges'; as 43 per cent had 無効の or 十分な説得力のない results and some 12 per cent were still waiting to find out their results.??

Asymptomatic 居住（者）s and staff 実験（する）ing 肯定的な was also a 関心, with most 回答者／被告s 説 this occurred in 0-10 per cent of 事例／患者s but a '重要な 少数，小数派' 報告（する）／憶測d a 率 of between 40-60 per cent.

The NCF received 返答s from members relating to 264 care homes, and said the results 示す the 政府 is on 跡をつける to have 申し込む／申し出d 実験（する）ing to all care homes with 居住（者）s over 65 by June 6.

Health 長官 Matt Hancock 発表するd his 誓約（する） for 全世界の／万国共通の care home 実験（する）ing on May 15, 説 'every 居住（者） and every member of staff in our 年輩の care homes in England' would be 実験（する）d 'between now and 早期に June'.?

The biggest 殺到する in '超過 deaths' - those that happen above the 普通の／平均（する） number for the time of year - was seen in dementia 患者s and the 年輩の.?

長，率いる of health 分析 at the ONS, Nick （土地などの）細長い一片, said on Twitter: 'Dementia 増加するs are so sharp it's implausible that they are 関係のない to Covid-19.'

If the 超過 deaths are 関係のある to the coronavirus it would mean the true death （死傷者）数 of the UK's 疫病／流行性の - which the Department of Health yesterday put at 39,904 - is 意味ありげに higher than data 現在／一般に shows.

The 報告（する）／憶測 calculated that, between March 7 and May 1, 46,380 more people died than 普通の／平均（する）. Some 12,900 of them (27.8 per cent) were not direct 犠牲者s of Covid-19.

That period, when NHS hospitals were 勧めるd to turf out as many 患者s as they could who didn't need 緊急の 治療, saw a 20.9 per cent 減少（する） in hospital deaths, with 8,000 より小数の 記録，記録的な／記録するd.

But the number of people dying in care homes 急に上がるd by a 大規模な 60.5 per cent - an 増加する of 11,000 deaths - and in 私的な homes it rose by 42.6 per cent - more than 8,000 extra fatalities.

The ONS said, although many of the deaths の中で 年輩の people were not せいにするd to Covid-19, large numbers of undiagnosed 事例／患者s of the 病気 were a 'likely explanation'.?

There were 5,404 more deaths than 推定する／予想するd の中で dementia and Alzheimer's 病気 患者s - a rise of 52 per cent compared to 普通の／平均（する）.?

And 1,567 超過 deaths occurred 予定 to 'symptoms 調印するs and ill-defined 条件s' - a 77.8 per cent rise from the five-year 普通の／平均（する）.?

連合させるd, those two 部類s accounted for two thirds of all the 超過 deaths that happened in that period.?

Undiagnosed Covid-19 could 'help explain the rise' in the deaths of frail 年輩の people with underlying 条件s, 特に women and those in care homes, the ONS 追加するd.?

Nick （土地などの）細長い一片 wrote in a Twitter thread today: 'Dementia 増加するs are so sharp it's implausible that they are 関係のない to Covid-19.

'They 一般に 影響する／感情 the very old, they would tend to 衝撃 women to a greater extent than men 簡単に 予定 to pop[ulation] structure. 特に once care home 疫病／流行性のs took 持つ／拘留する with [限られた／立憲的な] 実験（する）ing.

'People with dementia are more likely to have communication problems 述べるing symptoms...

'No 推論する／理由 to believe that Covid-19 has been knowingly omitted from death [証明書s]. Symptoms may not be 明らかな. But we cannot 割引 the 衝撃 of changes to normal 決まりきった仕事s for 攻撃を受けやすい care 居住（者）s に引き続いて lockdown. These could have had 逆の consequences too.

'The balance of 証拠 so far points to undiagnosed Covid in the 年輩の 存在 the most likely explanation for a 大多数 of 超過 deaths that did not について言及する CV on [death 証明書s].'

Mr （土地などの）細長い一片 追加するd that this would tie in with a 欠如（する） of 実験（する）ing in care homes throughout the 大多数 of the 突発／発生.

Some 専門家s have 報告（する）／憶測d that 年輩の people seem to show different symptoms to younger people - more likely to be exhausted and weak than to have a cough - so it may have been harder for doctors to link deaths to the coronavirus without 実験（する）s.??

Mr （土地などの）細長い一片's points are 拡大するd in the ONS 報告（する）／憶測, which read:?'The absence of large rises in deaths 予定 to [dementia] that について言及する 条件s that could 展示（する） 類似の symptoms to Covid-19 示唆するs that if Covid-19 is 伴う／関わるd in the 増加する in deaths 予定 to dementia and Alzheimer 病気, the usual symptoms of Covid-19 were not 明らかな.?

'This could fit with 最近の 臨床の 観察s, where atypical hypoxia [low 血 oxygen] has been 観察するd in some Covid-19 患者s.?

'In someone with 前進するd dementia and Alzheimer 病気, the symptoms of Covid-19 might be difficult to distinguish from their underlying illness, 特に with the 可能性 of communication difficulties.

'Care home 居住（者）s have experienced changes to their usual 決まりきった仕事 as a result of 対策 to 取り組む the coronavirus pandemic. 逆の 影響s of such changes cannot be 割引d as another possible explanation of the 増加する in the number of deaths in care homes.'?

一方／合間, data from The Data 分析 Bureau (T-DAB) and Person Centred ソフトウェア (PCS) - 代表するing a 見本 size of 32,000 care receivers from 13,000 care givers across England - 示唆するs the 政府 is still 井戸／弁護士席 below its self-課すd 的 for 実験（する）ing.

The 人物／姿／数字s, 解放（する）d on Th ursday, 示唆する just 18 per cent of 居住（者）s and 15 per cent of care home 労働者s had been 実験（する）d for coronavirus between May 15 and June 1, with more than half of care homes not having a 選び出す／独身 staff member 実験（する）d.

The NCF said the whole home 実験（する）ing programme has only been able to 保証（人） one 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of 実験（する）ing in each home, and that 正規の／正選手 実験（する）ing across all care settings must be brought in.

Vic Rayner, NCF (n)役員／(a)執行力のある director, said: 'Our 調査する results 最高潮の場面 some 重要な lessons that we have learnt from this first 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of 実験（する）ing ーに関して／ーの点でs of 正確, timeliness and frequency.

'It is （疑いを）晴らす that there is a need to 改善する the 正確 and timeliness of the results from 実験（する）ing to enable social care providers to 答える／応じる quickly to manage and 妨げる Covid-19 感染s.

'Our findings also 最高潮の場面 重要な insights into the number of Covid-19 肯定的な 実験（する）s in asymptomatic staff and 居住（者）s which 強調s why it is 絶対 決定的な that we move to 正規の／正選手 and repeat 実験（する）ing as it is an 必須の 道具 in the fight against Covid-19.

'The findings 関係のある to the 割合 of symptomatic 居住（者）s who are not 実験（する）ing 肯定的な 増強するs the need for 正規の／正選手, repeat 実験（する）ing to 避ける unnecessary 孤立／分離 and the 衝撃 this has on the mental health and wellbeing of 居住（者）s.'

It 追加するd that the 報告（する）／憶測d lower 率s of 実験（する）ing in all settings outside hospitals 'could lead to some deaths in other 場所s 伴う／関わるing Covid-19 not having Covid-19 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）d on the death 証明書 as a contributory factor, 主要な to 明らかに higher 非，不，無-Covid-19 超過 deaths'.??

'The 報告（する）／憶測 shows a 重要な spike in deaths せいにするd to dementia, which 含むs many care home 居住（者）s whose lives may have been 削減（する） short by undiagnosed Covid-19.

' This once again 最高潮の場面s the 悲劇の 規模 of avoidable deaths の中で people the 政府 誓約（する）d to 保護する. Social care must never again be 扱う／治療するd as an afterthought to the NHS but as an equal partner in an interdependent system.'?
