Data comparing 29 European countries show that England has experienced the longest non-stop overmortality; wave at the moment “that crosses Europe,” Hancock says.
It’s all mine for today.
Our coronavirus policy continues on our global blog on coronavirus. That’s all.

The Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), one of the UK’s largest employers, will lay off more than 1200 informals in September, and trade unions say the delay in the publication of the 1.570 million pound arts boost programme continues to jeopardize jobs, my colleague Lanre Bakare reports. .
The headlines in the ONS report on major deaths in Europe have focused on England, as the main report treats the UK as 4 separate countries. He justifies this by saying that “each of the 4 countries in the UK has its own fitness facilities and policies, and has made other decisions related to responses to the pandemic, such as the date and scope of the blockade implementation. “and that” it is useful to report on each of the UK nations separately.”
But the ONS has also produced knowledge for the UK and this shows that, although England’s record is worse than that of the UK as a whole, the UK’s record was worse than that of any other country, as was the record in question.
If you are interested in details, it is valuable in the knowledge tables published next to the main reports. The main one is probably the one that shows the standardized cumulative relative mortality rates by age (RSR) for countries, for each week through week 24 (the week ending June 12). But he pointed to week 22 (the week ending May 29) as it is the last week for which full knowledge from all countries is available.
In week 22, the RCASMR of England 7.55. This means that the mortality rate in England up to this time of year is 7.55% higher than would be expected from the 2015-19 average.
The UK figure at week 22 6.9. The figure for Spain, the country with the highest total at the moment, 6.65.
Here is a graph of the ONS report showing all countries in the order of week 19 (the week ending May 8) and week 22. This shows that in week 19, Spain had the worst record (while ahead of England and the UK), but in week 22 England and the UK were forwards of Spain.
Knowledge of week 24, which is on the charts, is not yet highlighted in the main report, shows that at the time England and the UK were in an even worse position compared to other European countries. Spain is still at the scene of the moment, with an RCASMR of 6, but 7.61 England and 6.94 in the UK, either above two weeks earlier. (RcASMR will likely decrease over the course of the year if mortality rates in a country fall below the long-term average)..
Jackson Carlaw suddenly resigned as leader of the Scottish Conservatives, saying he was not the right user to lead his party in the upcoming Holyrood election.
Hours after a combative consultation of prime minister’s questions, Carlaw issued a saying that he had come to “an undeniable but painful conclusion” in recent weeks that the Scottish party needed a new and larger leader.
Carlaw has only become a leader in February, after a long crusade to update his predecessor, Ruth Davidson, a pro-European who resigned last year running with Boris Johnson.
Carlaw said:
In recent weeks I have come to an undeniable but painful conclusion: that I am not, in the circumstances envisaged, the most productive user to lead this issue in the important months of Scottish politics before holyrood’s elections.
Given the importance I give to this position, I have to withdraw quickly.
[I] only that a new leader can, as we recover from Covid’s urgency, protect the Scottish Conservatives and the union more than I do. That’s all that matters.
According to an instant survey through YouGov, today’s resolution of telling others with coronavirus symptoms to self-isolate for 10 days, not seven days, has overwhelming public support.
Public Health England has its most recent weekly report on excess mortality in England. That’s all.
He says there have been 53,857 more deaths in England since 20 March.
This is a more accurate consultant on the effect of coronavirus in England than the figure of the name NHS England it produces each afternoon, which only covers the hospital deaths of others who have tested positive for coronavirus. This afternoon, the total was 29,329.

Since the launch of the UK government’s monitoring and testing programme, 184,703 close contacts of others who tested positive for Covid-19 have been contacted with the follow-up formula and have asked to isolate themselves, PA Media reports. This represents 83% of the 222,589 other people known as close relatives. The remaining 37,886 other people (17%) known as close contacts, but were not contacted.
The most recent weekly figures published (pdf) show that 75.1% of close contacts were reached in the week ending July 22, compared to 78.4% last week and below 90.8% in the first week of tests and suggestions (week ending June 3).
A place to eat McDonald’s closed after five staff members tested positive for Covid-19 in a West Midlands domain where there has been an increase in infections, PA Media reports.
