This weeks figures are showing a reduction in the excess deaths of about 500 (effectively statistically speaking 500 people that died early in 2020) for the week 28 (10th July). So despite, protests, celebrations and general easing of lockdown we are not seeing the immediate spike that was worried about. Excess death figure for E&W is now about 62k compared with 2019 and about 54.5k against the 5YA. Under 45s just over 100 so statistically not applicable, under 65s are just under 5.5k and still the main impact being on those over 65 with 56.5k.
Hospital admissions are hard to judge because the data only goes up to the 9th July, and patients in hospital is slowly decreasing with data up until the 16th July. same story with ventilated patients.
All 'positive' news (as positive as reporting deaths can be) but definitely moving in the right direction.
