Coronavirus: Higher death rate in poorer areas – because that’s what the Tories want
Well, what do you know? The useless Tory compensation schemes mean poorer people are going hungry, and there’s a higher death rate in poorer areas.
Coincidence? Don’t kid yourself.
People living in more deprived areas of England and Wales are more likely to die with coronavirus than those in more affluent places, new figures suggest.
Office for National Statistics analysis shows there were 55 deaths for every 100,000 people in the poorest parts of England, compared with 25 in the wealthiest areas.
Mortality rates are normally higher in poorer areas. But the ONS said coronavirus appeared to be adding to the problem.
It isn’t just the coronavirus adding to the problem.
It is clear that the Tories have arranged affairs – via their inadequate compensation schemes for working people – so the coronavirus can be the excuse when a disproportionate number of poor people die.
But I suppose it’s unpatriotic to point that out while Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock and the others are busy eliminating my friends and yours?

What’s the betting that most of those poor areas are the places where least of the PPE and all other equipment went to. In other words they are short on what they need to look after the sick.
