In 2022, to Date, British Deaths Massively Increased Compared to the Prior Year
Filed under: 
ETTING complete data from our government is like drawing blood from a rock, so I spent some time chasing and gluing together bits of data.
The data is scattered, so it takes a lot of effort pulling all the figures and then comparing apples to apples (not oranges).
The NHS/ONS are sadly using Microsoft formats and outsourcing to JavaScript (spyware; likely GDPR violations) sites controlled by Microsoft. Below the figures the reader can find all the data in an open format (I’ve converted it). Yes! All the underlying data is included as OpenDocument Format (ODF) below. In the public interest, making it more accessible.
Here’s the objective number of deaths in 2022 (by week):
10 Jun 2022 11,742
17 Jun 2022 10,844
24 Jun 2022 10,836
1 Jul 2022 10,357
8 Jul 2022 10,232
15 Jul 2022 10,515
22 Jul 2022 10,978
29 Jul 2022 11,013
5 Aug 2022 10,698
12 Aug 2022 10,355
19 Aug 2022 10,982
26 Aug 2022 10,942
2 Sep 2022 8,868
9 Sep 2022 10,753
16 Sep 2022 10,673
From what can be gathered, based on another dataset, in 2021 the numbers were a lot lower:
Week 25 8,591
Week 26 8,699
Week 27 9,569
Week 28 9,479
Week 29 9,417
Week 30 9,731
Week 31 9,660
Week 32 9,801
Week 33 9,443
Week 34 9,600
Week 35 8,138
Week 36 10,178
Week 37 10,158
Week 38 9,796
Week 39 9,727
So about 1,000 more people die each month this year (compared to last year, which was also a “COVID year”).
