In the year from week ending June 5th 2022 to week ending June 4th 2023 the U.K.\u00a0recorded<\/a>\u00a01,059 excess death per million people. The odd thing about this is that excess deaths in the U.K. in 2023 are higher than the excess deaths in the same period in 2020-21 in 13 of the 27 EU nations!<\/p>\n

If the people of Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands and Sweden were so worried about the likelihood of dying that they acquiesced in locking themselves up, voluntarily trashed their economies and stopped their kids going to school back in 2020-21 (well, Sweden didn\u2019t, but the rest did), why don\u2019t we feel the need to do the same now? We have more excess deaths now than they had then.<\/p>\n

If YouGov did a poll tomorrow asking whether or not we should, right now, go back into lockdown, how many thumbs up would it receive? Very few, I should hope. But if U.K. citizens don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea now, why did the Germans or the Finns or the Greeks think it was a good idea in 2020 and 2021? Could it be that they were manipulated? That they weren\u2019t given the whole picture? That they were \u2018had\u2019?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s try and put some perspective on this number. We can think of 1,059 excess deaths per 1,000,000 of population in several ways. As a straight percentage let\u2019s round it down to 0.1%. This means that we expect 0.1% of the population to die in addition to the number of people we might ordinarily expect to die in the year. Or, if you prefer, an additional one person in a 1,000 will die in the year.<\/p>\n

In the U.K. roughly one person in 100 dies every year, i.e., 1% of the population. But if we\u2019re experiencing excess deaths at a level of 0.1% then we can expect that about 1.1% of the population will die this year. Let\u2019s take the example of a large town or small city with 100,000 inhabitants. In a normal year we\u2019d expect 1,000 deaths. With this year\u2019s higher level of excess deaths, the funeral directors would expect to see 1,100 deaths. That\u2019s all very straightforward.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019d forgotten, let\u2019s remind ourselves that the period from April 5th 2020 to April 4th 2021 included the two big spikes in fatality in Spring 2020 and winter 2020-21. It\u2019s also the period that ended before the vaccine rollout was in any way complete. While about 50% of the U.K. population had received one dose of vaccine by then, in the EU the figure was only about 20%. This period was very much the year when we would have expected to see peak \u2018all-cause\u2019 pandemic excess deaths in the U.K. and across Europe with very little amelioration from vaccines or prior infection.<\/p>\n
