The 7 day deaths in Gov.Uk were 72.Just 748.6 people per 100,000 died last month as mortality rates fell even lower than April’s 851.2 people per 100,000, which was the lowest rate since records began in 2001.
The rate per 100,000 is 0.1. Rounded up that would be 400 per month. The 72 rounded up that would be 288 per month.
Admittedly that 72 is 11% up on the previous 7 days, but is that 7 day figure a moving average?
