Claim: About 2% of pregnancy terminations take place between 20 and 24 weeks. (Naomi Long, 2019-11-12)
Evidence (2018-04-30): According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), of the 652,639 abortions reported to the agency in 2014, 91.5% were performed at or under 13 weeks' gestation, 7.2% were performed between 14 and 20 weeks' gestation, and 1.3% were performed at or over 21 weeks' gestation.3 These statistics align with data collected by the Guttmacher Institute (Guttmacher), which found that in 2013, 1.3% of abortions were performed at or over 21 weeks' gestation.4 According to Guttmacher, approximately 926,200 abortions were performed in 2014.5 A 2018 National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) study found that most women who have abortions are unmarried (86%), poor or low-income (75%), under age 30 (72%), and women of color (61%).6 [...] According to a study published in 2014, almost all U.S. abortion facilities (95%) in 2012 offered abortions at 8 weeks' gestation, 72% offered abortions at 12 weeks, 34% at 20 weeks, and 16% at 24 weeks.48 The authors surveyed all known abortion-providing facilities in the United States. A total of 1,720 abortion facilities participated in this study: 453 were located in the Northeast, 737 in the West, 357 in the South, and 173 in the Midwest.49
Claim: CLAIM: There have been just 113 COVID-19 deaths in all in Northern Ireland. (Dee Brotherston, 2021-02-14)
Evidence (2021-02-14): Daily. Northern Ireland’s Department of Health (DoH) publishes a daily figure for deaths reported in the 24 hours up to 10am the previous day. Deaths are attributed as “COVID-19 deaths” in the DoH’s figures if the person had a positive test for COVID-19 within the previous 28 days. This measure is now broadly consistent across the UK and allows regional comparisons to be made. The Deaths Summary pane of the DoH dashboard shows that exactly 2,000 COVID-19 deaths had been reported by 10am on 15 February 2021. Weekly. NISRA publishes weekly figures, based on COVID-19 being mentioned on death certificates (with or without a positive test). Unlike the DoH figures, NISRA’s weekly statistics include deaths of people who did not have a positive test at the time of death. NISRA’s figures will include people whose certifying doctor notes COVID-19 symptoms, but died of a different primary cause once further analysis is conducted. From the start of the pandemic until 5 February 2021, NISRA’s weekly figures show that there were 2,574 deaths registered mentioning COVID-19 on the death certificate. Quarterly. The Registrar General Quarterly Report is published by NISRA, in line with other UK statistical agencies, and categorises deaths by cause. The primary cause of death is precisely coded against the ICD-10 international model. These are the most accurate, but the slowest to produce, of these three sets of figures for COVID-19 deaths. During the first nine months of 2020, NISRA’s quarterly figures explain that there were 808 deaths where COVID-19 was the underlying cause (information accurate on 18 November 2020).
Claim: CLAIM: There have been just 113 COVID-19 deaths in all in Northern Ireland. (Dee Brotherston, 2021-02-14)
Evidence (2022-03-23): A Facebook post shared 100 times in less than a day claims that there have been "113 covid deaths in all of Northern Ireland since the start of the ‘pandemic’". [...] To claim that just over a hundred people have died from COVID-19 in Northern Ireland ignores and/or misunderstands comorbidity and causes of death. It is important to ask: What is comorbidity? How are COVID-19 deaths measured? How can we understand these statistics better? [...] The "113 covid deaths in all of Northern Ireland" figure in the Facebook claim is contradicted by all these statistics.
Claim: CLAIM: There have been just 113 COVID-19 deaths in all in Northern Ireland. (Dee Brotherston, 2021-02-14)
Evidence (2021-08-24): The Covid-19 death rate in Northern Ireland is more than ten times that of the Republic and one of the highest of any developed country, according to the latest figures from the North's Department of Health. The health department in its daily afternoon bulletin on Tuesday reported 12 more Covid-19 deaths taking the North’s death toll since the start of the pandemic to 2,323. [...] Currently there are 373 people being treated for Covid-19 in Northern Ireland hospitals with 41 in intensive care and 26 of them on ventilators.
Claim: CLAIM: There have been just 113 COVID-19 deaths in all in Northern Ireland. (Dee Brotherston, 2021-02-14)
Evidence (2021-08-31): Medical experts in Northern Ireland are striving to pinpoint why the country has such a high death rate from covid-19, as its current seven day death rate per 100 000 people is more than twice as high as in the wider UK1 and 10 times as high as in the Republic of Ireland.2 [...] Northern Ireland’s chief scientific adviser, Ian Young, has said that while there have been cases of young, unvaccinated people dying from covid-19 recently, the majority of deaths remain among elderly people. [...] The highest number of covid cases reported in a single day in Northern Ireland to date was 2397, on 20 August this year.6 Young said that the recent spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was not linked to any single event or outbreak but rather was down to "widespread community transmission." Experts say that the reasons for this are multifaceted.

Evidence (2021-08-25): Five more deaths and 1,771 new positive cases of Covid-19 in Northern Ireland were reported on Wednesday. The death rate in Northern Ireland from Covid-19 is currently almost seven times higher than it is in the Republic. The number of people who have died from the illness in the last seven days in the North is 49, the equivalent of 122 in the Republic adjusted for population. [...] Northern Ireland’s case numbers have been much higher than the Republic in recent weeks. The North’s health department’s Covid dashboard features a graph comparing daily international death rates based on a seven-day rolling average. It compares Northern Ireland with seven countries – the Republic, the UK, the US, Italy, Japan, South Korea and China.

This is usually published on Friday mornings. [...] In Northern Ireland, out of every 60 positive Covid cases, we can expect one person to die. [...] Of the 834 people in Northern Ireland's hospital with Covid, 62 are in intensive care.
Claim: CLAIM: There have been just 113 COVID-19 deaths in all in Northern Ireland. (Dee Brotherston, 2021-02-14)
Evidence (2022-11-03): Death counts from COVID-19 may be underestimated due to variability in testing access/utilization, non-random testing, lack of consistent reporting on death certificates, or misclassification of cause of death. Analyses of excess deaths from all-causes can overcome these challenges and estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality7. Excess deaths, defined as the difference between the observed number of deaths and the expected number for a given place and time period, also provide a consistent and comparable metric across countries, independent of baseline levels of mortality8,9. However, the methods or models used to estimate excess mortality often vary, making comparisons between regions using different methods difficult. [...] Every week, 25 European countries or subnational areas (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, England [United Kingdom], Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland [United Kingdom], Norway, Portugal, Scotland [United Kingdom], Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Wales [United Kingdom]) adjust their data for delay in registration (primarily affecting the most recent 6 weeks) and run local analyses of excess deaths from all causes13. Aggregated data by week and age group are sent to the EuroMOMO hub at Statens Serum Institut, Denmark. At the hub, data are pooled11 to provide European estimates of weekly expected numbers of deaths and excess numbers of deaths, from all causes13. Data from 2015 through December 31, 2021 were used.

Evidence (2023-03-10): For the twenty countries currently most affected by COVID-19 worldwide, the bars in the chart below show the number of deaths either per 100 confirmed cases (observed case-fatality ratio) or per 100,000 population (this represents a country’s general population, with both confirmed cases and healthy people). Countries at the top of this figure have the most deaths proportionally to their COVID-19 cases or population, not necessarily the most deaths overall.

Evidence (2020-03-20): Ireland responded to the first two waves of infections with strict lockdowns and mostly gradual reopening2. However, the reopening at the beginning of December, accompanied by increased social interactions during the holidays and arrival of a more contagious virus variant from the UK, resulted in a surge of infections from the lowest levels in Europe to the highest in the world by the second week of January. This necessitated a third lockdown in January through April 5th, 2021 with tighter restrictions, including closure of schools and most construction sites. Infection rates have declined since then. At the end of April the government has announced a gradual reopening plan3. The government started vaccination program4 in end-December and is expecting to vaccinate 80% of the population by early July 2021.
Claim: CLAIM: There have been just 113 COVID-19 deaths in all in Northern Ireland. (Dee Brotherston, 2021-02-14)
Evidence (2024-02-16): The percentage of excess deaths that took place in care homes from Covid-19 in England, at about a quarter, matches the overall UK figure, but in Scotland and N. Ireland this was sharply higher at 39 and 35 percent, respectively, and in Wales about 30 percent. Concerning the number of Covid-19 deaths, 30 percent of these occurred in care homes in England and in Wales, with 47 percent in Scotland and 43 percent in Northern Ireland. These percentages of Covid-19 deaths are an underestimate of those normally resident in care homes, because some died in hospital. Hopefully, the compilation of those data will be undertaken by the ONS and the regional health authorities, so that the scale of excess deaths in care homes and its regional variation is properly appreciated.
Claim: CLAIM: There have been just 113 COVID-19 deaths in all in Northern Ireland. (Dee Brotherston, 2021-02-14)
Evidence (2021-05-18): Initially, the United Kingdom (UK) opted for a herd-immunity approach; however, mitigation strategies were implemented on March 18, 2020, when the daily new COVID-19 cases reached 407 per day [11, 306, 307]. The UK, at 382.1 deaths per million cases, has exceeded Italy’s death toll at 298.1 deaths per million cases (As of February 25, 2021) [11]. However, the UK still remains lower on the scale in comparison to the USA, which is at 2,090.9 deaths per million cases. Around August of 2020, the UK began easing up lockdown measures, before resuming stricter measures on November 5, 2020, announcing an ending date of March 2021. This reactive response may have been as a result of the spike that was brought by the reopening of education institutions gradually in June. By doing so, the UK authorities risked raising the reproductive number above 1 [308]. On November 8, 2020, Scotland elevated their restriction to a level 5, meaning individuals are only allowed to go out for an emergency. Following this, a few travel restrictions were placed again, such as a 14-days quarantine for travellers coming from certain countries (e.g. Spain) starting from December 12, 2020. [...] Health NIo.
