England and Wales.
I used the SUM() function, so I’m fairly sure it’s added up.

Surely data is simple here on face value? Either you're breathing or you're not.
So many sources of information say different things, so I don't think it is any conspiracy just to ask questions. So far all we've got is agent Shmmeee with his bloody abacus!
Death rate back to early 2000s levels - Full Fact
The death rate fell considerably over the past two decades, as life expectancy improved. 2020 saw these improvements reversed.
Here's another one. Says that 2008 was worse.
That was the year we had Mifsud, so pretty recent.
Other articles are saying where we are is comparable to one of the years the Luftwaffe came to visit.
Nothing is simple.
But yeah, those numbers I have are about as raw as it gets. Registered deaths by week from the ONS all causes.
Even then: we know January 2020 was unusually low I believe and would drag that number down, similarly Jan 2021 would show huge increases, should we take something like a financial year instead? Always choices to make. Always arguments to have. But at some point you’re either intentionally hiding what the data is telling you it you’re torturing it beyond all recognition.
No serious analysis of the death data during this pandemic is going to come out saying anything other than tens of thousands of extra people died, even with all the restrictions. Equally we will come out with one of, if not the, highest death rates in the world. The reasons for that can, and certainly will, be debated. But the fact remains.
UK's Covid R rate now falls below 1 in EVERY region
Department of Health bosses declared another 15,144 coronavirus infections - down almost 21 per cent in a week, meaning 4million Britons have tested positive since the pandemic began.www.dailymail.co.uk
This scaremongering is really really annoying me now. Quite clearly this article is written to be reactionary.
We're hopefully going to get some Moderna stock in soon. It would be good timing if that dropped as Pfizer dropped back. My mother in law was given Pfizer so they must be confident of having at least 12 weeks worth of stock on it.
It's absolute madness to put an arbitrary date on something so changeable. I know the Tory party are just money minded machine men but you think they'd have learned from August/September when it was all "Get back to the office or we'll shift your job to India" then we had to shut the whole country down again. Such short sighted idiocy and I'd be furious if we opened up too soon only to lock down again. As I keep saying, let's just beat it this time.
Quite a lot of the public don't realise the extent of information available in the public domain. I've got Peston muted on twitter as he posts so much utter drivel and it has such a wide reach

Disease for some, mutation for others.
Well I won't enjoy being told to fend for myself until I've had a vaccine, with everybody in my face all the time because they don't like the imposition.
