The year on year data show for England and Wales that there are 54,000 extra deaths this year than last. The 39k figure is just the death certs that refer to covid-19. Can you think of any other reason for the extra 15k above your figure?
Lack of hospital care for other chronic and acute conditions must be up there.

Given my mother went into the Marie Curie hospice yesterday, this is quite close to the bone for me. I fear thousands more premature deaths as a result of 'saving' the NHS.
