England and Wales Deaths 12.5% Higher Than Before the Pandemic, Even Half a Year After WHO Declared the Pandemic ‘Over’
N the morning, just a few minutes ago (maybe 1 minute, I kept refreshing the page!), ONS published new numbers to indicate the number of deaths (total mortality) in the UK or just in England and Wales, provisionally.
Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, week 47 in 2023: 11,385
The same in 2014-2019: 10,124 (in late 2019 the virus COVID-19 had already entered the UK)
That’s an increase of 12.5%.
