COVID epidemic based on mortality was over by 19th June. There is no excess death (using date of occurrence, the correct measure) until 16th October which coincides with isolated outbreaks in September. Half the COVID deaths in Autumn appear to be misdiagnosed/displaced.
The heatwave in August (excess deaths in older males from circulatory diseases) had a more significant impact on excess death than Autumn COVID.
Mortality profiles confirm the existence of COVID last 3 weeks of October and 1st week November. COVID profiles include mention of pneumonia, relatively higher proportion of over 65s, sex equity and tendency towards deaths in care home and/or hospital.
