Original Request

To whom it may concern,

Re: Coronavirus confirmed fatalities and influenza.

This comes to you following advice from my previous FOIA: 1278245

I can't find this important information anywhere, so I have had to ask through a FOIA.

  1. Using the most recent data available, how many of the deceased individuals that

have reportedly died, "due to" sars-cov-2, have a laboratory confirmed status for sars-

cov-2?

  1. How many deaths have occurred due to influenza/infulenza led pneumonia this

year until present? Please categorise where reasonably possible, such as into months

and cause of death."

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours sincerely,

*****.
