Scotland: 2021 mortality through week 39 (NRS)
1/ Overall
Week 39 not only in excess of 5 year average, but in keeping with recent weeks it is above the max range of the last 20 years.
Now 19 consecutive weeks of above average mortality in Scotland.
2/ Excess mortality by cause
Showing now as a little more than half of the excess is covid, although that proportion coming down. Mortality classed as covid is nearly 3x higher than summer 2020.
3/ Excess mortality by location
Again this week some excess in hospital, but by far predominantly remains excess mortality at home. Through summer this has been about 1,800 deaths higher than normal.
4/ Overall mortality by age, versus 5 year average
Growing excess in 85+ and 75-84 age groups. 65-74 up sharply in recent weeks, and even 45-64 separating from the 5 year trendline now.
5/ Combined excess summer mortality
Combine those three for the summer period and we see excess mortality of +2,168
- Mainly β€˜Other’, then equally cancer, circulatory, respiratory
- All occuring at home
- Stratifying by age, highest in the eldest age group
6/ Total mortality and vaccination by age
Changed to add 1-14 years age group.
7/ Child mortality
Excess mortality showing both Q2 and Q3, but all coming from <1 age group. 1-14 age group remains below normal, as it has been throughout.
8/ Summer excess
Summer 2020/2021 versus the 2015-19 average for the same period.
Now 2,193 (13%) above 5 year average, +2,122 from last summer. The highest deviation from 5 year average is 4%. 2021 was 3x that, and the trend is worsening.
Hope the 2 week easing trend continues

Scotland: Mortality week 29 (NRS data)
Last few weeks have been above the average, and this week 29 sets a new high, by a small margin the highest week 29 for more than 20 years.
Mortality rank
2021 rank has moved slightly higher, but still 15th. Now higher (worse) than 2015 and 2018, which we have been below so far.
Note 2020 now ranks third, behind the dreadful 1993 and 1999 that we all remember…?
3/ Excess mortality by cause
This breaks down cause into covid and non-covid. We can see that we continue to have significant non-covid excess, and some excess as covid now creeping in.
Will come back to this.

Scotland: NRS all-cause mortality data, week 12
1. Overall
2021 continues to develop as normal year, in the range of normal mortality. We continue slightly better than 2018 in terms of overall mortality rate. Nothing unusual going on.
2. Overall
More classic style showing week be week versus normal range. We can see the entire year has been within the normal range, and the most recent 3 weeks have been below average, and near the bottom end of the range.
No alarming signal at all this year.
3. Excess mortality by cause
Mortality classified as covid is offset by lower than normal mortality in cancer, heart disease, respiratory etc. Essentially it appears we are wrongly / overly classifying other causes of death as covid (or heart dieases etc suddenly better)
