I was curious as to whether any/many more people are dying per week now than in any normal year and found this information:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulat...nglandandwales
There is a spreadsheet and for instance it shows for:
Months 06-Mar-20 13-Mar-20 20-Mar-20
Deaths 10,895 11,019 10,645
Previous* 11,498 11,205 10,573
*=previous 5 years average
Obviously we have yet to see how the weeks ahead pan out but it would put it all in a better perspective if the increase in normal death rate (if any) was reported in the news.
