The number of deaths in England&Wales are nearly down to their 5yr average……
.
The numbers still show that the Old Fogies are most at risk.
Those over 70yrs old, form 80% of all deaths, but 84% of the Covid-19 deaths, and 88% of the deaths for the latest week of Covid-19 numbers.
.
No suggestions as to the fortnightly uptick. Could be a data gathering feature? If so, the numbers should go up slightly next week.
Feel free to go to the ONS numbers directly.
And Canada only has had 8,454 deaths in total with most in Quebec.

Same goes for the elderly here. As in the case of my mother too who passed away early in the stage. And she was in her 95th year.
