At a local level, nowhere did deaths increase more in the last quarter of 2023 than in Boston, Lincolnshire, where the number soared by 44.8% to hit a quarterly total of 223 deaths.
Also faring badly in 2023 was South Staffordshire (37.8%), Trafford (35%), Ashford (34.8%), Welwyn Hatfield (34.2%), Ryedale (34%), Ipswich (33.2%), Oadby & Wigston (32%), Tandridge (30.6%), and King’s Lynn & West Norfolk (30.5%).
And in an even more morbid statistic, the first week of 2024 saw 11,946 deaths recorded across England and Wales, a huge jump from the final week of 2023, which saw just 7,447 recorded deaths.
Boston is not a great place health wise. From nearby originally and if you took an average from everyone there, you would have severe obesity, high levels of unemployment and drug/alcohol abuse, most people paid far below the living wage, and an insane percentage of pensioners too. No doctors or dentists available and a crumbling hospital I wouldn’t be surprised to see at the centre of a future nhs scandal.
It’s pretty much bingo for avoidable deaths
How much of this is also down to people not giving much of a toss about COVID? Genuine question.
I know younger people have generally just got on with things. But presumably older and more vulnerable people have been more cautious for longer. I think uptake of boosters this year was very low. But I know a fair few people who were put on their arse by it.
Combine that with both the stronger cold and flu strains. And our ever creaky health system?
The raw death rate isn’t actually a very good number to look at because it’s influenced by the size of different demographics and as the boomers age out, they’re going to increase the overall numbers because they’re a large cohort.
The age adjusted death rate, which accounts for this, does not look particularly exceptional.
Should the dailystar really be allowed to post here as a verified news outlet given the majority of its content is satire?
We have been averaging around 600K deaths per year, for the past decade.
Surprised the anti migrants on this subreddit aren’t praising this news, since they’re always going on about how the country is too full for migrants and that there aren’t enough houses or resources.
This is the news the anti immigration redditors want to hear right?
Who would have thought pushing people into poverty and preventing them from getting medical care during the lockdowns would kill people? When it’s looked back on in a few decades we’ll see just how much more damage it did than Covid could ever have done.
Well there is some good news. Most of the died of old age and old people vote Tory.
Sadly Lincolnshire, which is a very socially conservative county, is not known for its denizens’ good health.
Such a misleading headline, we had 680k deaths in 2021. 580k is actually smaller compared to most years.
But there has been excess deaths not just in Britain but in many developed countries. More people have died in 2023 than in 2021 with a lot of these people dying at home.
Dr John Campbell on YouTube has been talking about this using statistical data, often government provided. Sources always mentioned so it’s not just someone sprouting nonsense
Me when I read the title “Don’t mention Boston, don’t mention Boston”

“..nowhere did deaths increase more in the last quarter of 2023 than in Boston, Lincolnshire..”
​
Have to love my home town.
There’s a few very strange people in here revelling in this news… very strange.
