I have been offered discounts to leave reviews which usually involves registering with a third party review site which I refuse to do. presumably the third party sites pay for each sign up hence discount and make their money on your data.
Stay Safe. Have you not parted company from someone with “Drive safely” or “safe journey?” Reflection of the times and a PR exercise all in one. Not sure I’d read too much into it.
The ONS has uploaded week 52 figures.
- 2020 All Deaths 604,045
- 5yr avg Yearly All Deaths 531,129
- 2019 All Deaths 527,234
76,811 increase over 2019 or 13.8% that figure being 12.7% of total 2020 deaths. 72,916 increase over the 5 year avg or 13.7%.
The 2020 figures break down age groups in 5 year increments whereas the previous years don’t. So that said I looked at the age group 15-44 and 45-64 as that was what was available in the previous years.
- 2019 age 15-44 = 14714
- 2020 age 15-44 = 15443
- 2020-2019 15-44 age = 729 or 4.95% increase over 2019 or 4.72% of 2020 deaths for that age group.
- 2019 age 45-64 = 63195
- 2020 age 45-54 = 71979
- 2020-2019 45-64 age = 8784 or 13.9% increase over 2019 or 12.2% of 2020 deaths for that age group.
- covid related deaths (mentioned on death cert) 2020 = 77,686
- resp deaths 2020 = 62,420
- resp deaths 2019 = 71,674
