Still not in to the peak of deaths, but a talking point nonetheless.

Good lord.... I should be more careful. MORE deaths than the rolling average. Apologies to all.

I was just looking at this too, as with all the date about CV deaths in the news I wanted some perspective on what is a normal number of deaths in the UK.

So, for week ending 20th March 2020: The average number of deaths for the corresponding week over the previous five years was 10,573; this means that the overall number of deaths in week 12 of 2020 was slightly higher than previous years.

Data...not date

Hi there,
We've corrected that 'fewer' to 'more' now for you. Stay safe, everyone. x

I forgot to put in deaths for the current year:

Week 12, 2020: 10645 deaths
Week 12, average across past five years: 10573 deaths

I found this reassuring, as the CV deaths numbers aren't as scary when in context of normal number of weekly deaths.
