Thank you for collating this info and presenting it so clearly. I have been following the Scottish data [amongst others] and this is useful, if depressing, summary. Also, thanks for standing up, and speaking out.
Thanks, appreciate the comment. Albeit for everyone in the group I think it's a case of "we couldn't not do this". Simply a case of wanting to make clear the underlying facts - rolling up our sleeves may or may not achieve that, but 'leaving it to the experts' was going nowhere.
I have been tracking the same data in Northern Ireland with similar results. Excess deaths since March +12% with some weeks being +28% against 2015-2019. Our official 5-year average includes both pandemic years so reporting lower excesses. Disproportionate excess deaths in the elderly and massive excesses in deaths at home.
Thanks for the work, and wow!, your statistics group are worse than ours. We have one pandemic year included, which is a bad enough compromise, but including two sounds crazy. I'm not familiar with the N.I. data - what sort of excess patterns were seen in 2020 & 2021, similar with England? Again, thanks for the work, it's really important to keep track of

Excess deaths in 2020 were +11% and in 2021 were +11% also.
