Anybody have stats on mortality rates and causes relative to initial reported mortality rates and causes from previous years?

Financial Times has been tracking this in the UK for weeks now. We're at about 65k excess deaths relative to the five-year average for this year up to now. Our official CV deaths is at 43k, so yeah either they're missing a lot or people are dying 'cause they can't get the health care they could pre-CV.

I think this is the US equivalent. Not sure how up-to-date it is though.

Do you know if the previous numbers are revised of if they are at-the-time recordings?

There's about a four-day lag between the death and when it's registered with the Office of National Statistics which records the numbers, if that's what you mean. So e.g., the count on June 11 is actually the deaths up to about June 7.

That's in the UK, can't speak to what happens elsewhere.
