An extra 2,300 people have died every week for a year during the pandemic compared to normal, grim new figures show. England and Wales recorded 22.5 per cent more deaths than they usually would between March 9, 2020 and February 19 this year, with 110,000 excess deaths registered.
Excess deaths means the number of deaths above average, but the figure is not just limited to Covid deaths. But Colin Angus, Senior Research Fellow in Health Economics and Decision Science at Sheffield University said the figures show the devastation caused by coronavirus. "What really matters is that a lot more people have died than we'd normally see die," he said.
