Week ending 17th July figures are now on the ONS site and we've had another week of below average deaths. Compared with 2019 and the 5 years average there are about 250 less deaths for the week in England and Wales. We're still running at around 61.7k excess deaths for the year but for the 5th week running we have less deaths than the 5YA - the total against the 5YA figure is around 1250 less deaths for those 5 weeks.
Other figures worth noting - the admissions into hospitals are still slowly dropping - down to 163 as of the 15th July, as is the number of patients in hospital (1445 on 23rd July), and people on ventilators (104 on the 24th July).
Again all relatively good news and despite the worries with relaxed lockdown and people moving about more freely we don't appear to be having any increases in any figures. Long may it continue.
