In Latest Week on Record, 12.01% Increase in Deaths Across England and Wales 4 Years After COVID-19 Started
aving just repeatedly refreshed this page in pursuit of the latest numbers (usually due 9:30AM every Tuesday), I can finally see that in Week 48 the number of recorded deaths in England and Wales is 11,385.
Before COVID-19 (2014-2019 average) it was 10,164.
That’s an increase of 1221 (actual people!) or 12.01%.
In November (the end of the month) COVID-19 had already begun spreading worldwide, so the number of deaths in 2019 was 10,958. This means that an increase of a lot more than 12% can be measured by leaving out 2019.
