I had to check, as I’d no idea how many people do die each year. It appears that around 600,000 people die in an average year in the U.K., or 8 Twickenham stadiums full. So COVID-19 seems to have resulted in a 15ish % increase if the deaths reported are all incremental. Interestingly as recently as 2003 the number of deaths was as low as 550,000. But maybe then population has grown by 10% in that time?
