ONS Covid -19 Stats Breakdown

The Government may have reported 150,000 Covid-19 deaths within 28 days of a positive test but their own Statistical agency, the Office of National Statistics, put the number of at 175,000 for all deaths where the virus was mentioned on the death certificate.
The ONS gives a useful breakdown of all Coronavirus deaths so what does the data tell us about the unfortunate 175,000 people whose deaths have been recorded to date?

Age
122,500 or 70% of the deaths occurred in those aged 75 or older meanwhile, deaths among those aged 44 and younger made up under 2% of the total, or 3500 deaths.

Vaccination status
For the first 10 months of 2021, for every 1 death of a vaccinated person, 28 deaths were for the unvaccinated

Gender

Men made up 94,433 or 54% of total coronavirus deaths.

Geographical
The death rate was in the north-west of the UK and among the four nations of the UK, Wales recorded the highest death rate.

Deaths by occupation
Male and female workers in the care and leisure sectors and other public-facing jobs experiencing higher death rates

Deaths by ethnicity
The ONS shows that minority ethnic people were at a higher risk of contracting and dying from Covid-19 compared with their white counterparts with the mortality rate was highest among black men, then black women and then South Asian groups before white men and then white women.

you did not include a critical factor. Comorbidity.

In the US, the portions of deaths involving people over 75 was a bigger number (maybe because in NY they put people with CV19 in senior care facilities), but there is another factor.

95% of the people over 75 had at least one comorbidity.
The AVERAGE WAS 4 COMORBITITIES.

The biggest factor is not age, that is a correlation. The biggest factor is a person's overall health. Someone with four comorbities is very unhealthy.

This virus mostly kills people that are already about to die...

Not such a thing here which is why I assume no stats for it. What is up with your blog? Every time I have tried to comment lately it says oops there has been an error.
