Daily Mail – August 8, 2020
Lockdown killed two people for every three that died of the coronavirus, shocking new government figures have revealed.
It is thought that as many as 16,000 people died because they didn’t get medical care between March 23 and May 1.
In the same period, 25,000 Britons died of the virus.
The new figures were presented to the Government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) in the middle of July.
