HIS morning’s new numbers look like this:
It may not seem like that says very much until one checks pre-COVID-19 numbers for the same timespan. It was 11,660 in 2019 and about the same for prior years (average of 2014-2019).
New data out today.
2019
2025
Almost 10,000 more deaths in about a month.
T IS WEDNESDAY again, so there were new mortality figures this morning.
In week 5 of 2019 we had just over 11k deaths in England in Wales.
Now, in 2025, in week 5 we had 13,712 deaths. That’s nearly 14k.
Last week we saw similar increases.
The new data from ONS:
HAVE just checked this page, which was updated a few hours ago with weekly data. I then compared apples to apples or oranges to oranges. Before the COVID-19 pandemic we had vastly fewer people dying (than now).
It’s up from 11,860 in 2019 to 14,679 this year. The total population increased 1-2% in that period of time.
It was almost the same last week.
What contributes to this massive increase?
When will numbers come back to “normal”? Is the “new normal” an extra ~60,000 Brits dying per year? That’s a lot, it’s way too much, and it warrants investigation + clear answers.
