2019 Week 3 Deaths in England and Wales: 11,860. 2025 Week 3 Deaths in England and Wales: 14,679. That’s Almost 3,000 More Deaths in Just One Week!
Filed under: 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.
