  • At 75 925 higher than the five year average, the number of deaths registered in 2020 was “unprecedented,” said Sarah Caul, head of mortality analysis at the Office for National Statistics, in a blog accompanying the data 2 It also represented “the biggest year-on-year increase since 1940,” although population expansion, changes in demographics, and medical advances complicate comparisons, she noted With the dramatic and rapid rise in cases following the looser restrictions over the festive period and the severe impact this is having on health services, we can only expect these numbers to grow further for some time Experts have also continued to express concerns about the lack of clarity on the reasons for the worrying numbers of deaths in private homes, which are around 100 above the expected number each day, as they have been since the first wave of the pandemic 1 Office for National Statistics
