Chilling graphic unveils dire spike in non-coronavirus related deaths amid COVID-19 crisis
令人不寒而栗的图表揭示了在新冠肺炎危机中非冠状病毒相关死亡人数的可怕激增

A SHOCKING graphic has shown the number of deaths across the UK not associated with the coronavirus pandemic has spiked alongside the growing COVID-19 death toll.

一张令人震惊的图表显示，英国各地与冠状病毒大流行无关的死亡人数随着COVID-19死亡人数的增加而激增。

The shocking chart compared the average death rate across the UK on a weekly base with the growing number of deaths during the coronavirus outbreak. The data has shown the number of non-COVID-19 related deaths has exponentially increased alongside the loss of life the pandemic has caused. Discussing the graphic, BBC Newsnight correspondent James Clayton said: "The pink line on this graph shows how many people die, on average, each week of the year.

这张令人震惊的图表将英国每周的平均死亡率与冠状病毒爆发期间不断增长的死亡人数进行了比较。数据显示，与COVID-19无关的死亡人数随着大流行造成的生命损失呈指数级增加。BBC“新闻之夜”记者詹姆斯·克莱顿在谈到这张图表时说：“这张图表上的粉红色线条显示了一年中平均每周有多少人死亡。

"The blue line is 2020’s figures but just look at what happened in the week running up to April 3. An extra 6,000 people died in England and Wales.
“蓝线是2020年的数字，但看看截至4月3日的一周发生了什么。英格兰和威尔士又有6000人死亡。

"Of those 6,082 extra deaths, 3,475 mentioned COVID while 2,607 didn’t.
“在这6082例额外死亡中，3475例提到了冠状病毒，而2607例没有提到。
 

"One possibility is that COVID deaths are simply being missed."
“一种可能性是新冠肺炎引起的死亡被简单地遗漏了。”

Statistician David Spiegelhalter admitted to feeling "moved" when he saw the increasing death toll, as he suggested the increase in the number of non-coronavirus related deaths may be the result of little testing on people who died without being diagnosed with COVID-19.
统计学家David Spiegelhalter承认，当他看到死亡人数的增加时，他感到“感动”，因为他暗示，非冠状病毒相关死亡人数的增加可能是因为对没有被诊断为新冠肺炎的死亡的人进行了很少的测试。

Mr Spiegelhalter said: "When it came up with this huge spike, I was personally very upset.

"I don’t think I’ve ever been quite as moved and shocked at data being portrayed before. And I’m a statistician, I look at data all the time."

He continued: "The big question is why would deaths go up which are not labelled as COVID.

"And the first thing I think people would come to is that, maybe, these are associated with COVID.

斯皮格哈尔特表示：“当它出现如此巨大的涨幅时，我个人感到非常不安。

“我想我以前从未对数据的描述如此感动和震惊过。我是一名统计学家，我一直在看数据。”

他继续说：“最大的问题是，为什么没有贴上COVID标签的死亡人数会上升。

“我认为人们首先会想到的是，这些可能与COVID有关。
 

"At the moment, the Office of National Statistics reports that less than 10 percent of COVID deaths are out of hospital - in care homes or at home or in hospices.
“目前，国家统计局报告说，只有不到10%的COVID死亡病例是在医院外--在疗养院、在家里或在收容所。

"Maybe that figure is a lot bigger but doctors have been not putting COVID on the death certificate because the patient was not tested."
“也许这个数字要大得多，但医生一直没有把COVID放在死亡证明上，因为病人没有接受测试。”

At the moment, the Government has been reserving coronavirus tests to cover seriously ill patients. After much criticism, testing was also extended to NHS staff and other social carers who are most at risk because of the close contact they keep with their patients.
目前，政府已预留进行冠状病毒测试，以涵盖重病患者。在受到很多批评之后，测试也扩展到了NHS工作人员和其他社会护理人员，他们因为与患者保持密切联系而面临最大的风险。

Health Secretary Matt Hancock pledged 100,000 tests will be delivered by the end of April but doubts have been cast on the ability of the Government to have such a high number of tests carried out.
卫生部长马特·汉考克(Matt Hancock)承诺将在4月底之前提供10万项检测，但人们对政府是否有能力进行如此多的检测表示怀疑。
