A QUARTER of Brits who have died as a result of the coronavirus pandemic were never infected with the bug, according to new figures.
This was 46,494 more deaths than the average for this period in the previous five years - with Covid-19 responsible for 33,257 of these excess deaths, or 71.5 per cent.
