Updated set of my version of the excess death charts using today's latest ONS data. The idea is to put current deaths into a bit more context as not all excess death charts show the non-covid deaths, or regional breakdowns. England full year first. 1/

Same again but zoomed to 2nd half of year. The bit above the solid black line is what will often be referred to as 'excess mortality', i.e. where it's above the 5 year average. The dashed lines show how much it has varied over 5 years. 2/

Same again for Wales. 3/

For the regions, I've normalised them to be per 1 million population to allow for easier comparison. North West, North East, Yorkshire + Humber and West Midlands first. 4/

And East Midlands, East of England, South East and South West. 5/

Plus London. 6/

Same again, but zoomed versions. North West, North East, Yorkshire + Humber and West Midlands. 7/

East Midlands, East of England, South East and South West. 8/

London. 9/

England weekly deaths registered per 1 million pop. since 1998-99 with 2020 highlighted in red/yellow and 2021 the opposite. Offset so new-year is in the middle. Individual years aren't intended to be easily readable - the idea is more to give an indication of trend patterns. 11/

Finally, 3d view of all England weekly deaths registered figures since 1999. A bit style over substance but still interesting to look at. END
