In 2023, Across England and Wales, About 55,000 More Deaths Than Before COVID-19
Filed under: 
‘ve checked the latest numbers released today (12 December 2023) by ONS, which almost every week publishes “[p]rovisional counts of the number of deaths registered in England and Wales, by age, sex and region, in the latest weeks for which data are available. Includes the most up-to-date figures available for deaths involving coronavirus (COVID-19).”
Before COVID-19 the mortality level for the country was a lot lower. With new numbers due soon (mortality), let’s consider what it looked like in 2014-2019, January until October (when COVID-19 is said to have broken out in China).
From January 4th until October 4th: 405,046 deaths across England and Wales.
This year, as per the latest figures from ONS, January 6th until October 6th: 449,555 deaths across England and Wales.
That’s almost 50,000 more deaths, with 2 more months left in the year.
One can imagine the surplus by year’s end will be around 55,000.
These are not mere statistics. They represent actual lives lost and devastated relatives.
I just want to thank the NHS for still persisting, despite the government’s attack on this invaluable public service (an attack whose goal to push privatised replacements).
