Another week of divergeance between all-cause excess death and death where COVID was mentioned on the death certificate. In fact, the rate of COVID death appears to have accelerated, whereas excess death has actually fallen since last week, not what you would expect at all. #1
The only region showing an increase in excess death is the North West albeit decelerating. All other region excess death has contracted with East of England and London actually exhibiting negative excess death, not expected in the midst of an epidemic. #2
Yorkshire, North East, East Midlands: COVID death growth decelerating, excess death declining.
East of England, London and South West: COVID death growth accelerating (from very low base), excess death declining.
West Midlands and South East: COVID growth marginally accelerating and excess death marginally increasing.
North West: COVID death growth decelerating, excess death increasing.
