British Population Grew From 66.7 Million to 67.9 Million, But in Same Period Deaths Grew by More Than 10%
‘ve just retrieved today’s numbers (weekly release) and it looks like this:
Week 26 2014-2019 England and Wales Deaths (average): 9,177
Week 26 2019 England and Wales Deaths: 9,511
Week 26 2024 England and Wales Deaths: 10,609
That’s 1,400+ more deaths (for one week) than in 2014-2019.
What is the cause?
Can we afford to ignore almost 100,000 extra deaths a year? More and more of these surpluses are young people. We see it from the data and the age brackets.
