Perhaps looking at the normal monthly death rates and comparing any differences would be helpful?
We've not got enough data to make comparisons yet. But I'll keep tracking it as data is released.
That said, some of the figures quoted by the scientists on total deaths do talk about excess deaths - so the death toll over and above what we would expect a normal years death toll to be. Let there be no underplayimg here, we are not talking about hundreds/thousands of people who would have died anyway. We are talking hundreds/ thousands of extra deaths for this/year.
