A note for anyone comparing to any other country: the UK is rather fast to get excess deaths up to date. So they show this metric earlier than others do. 50,00

A note for anyone comparing to any other country: the UK is rather fast to get excess deaths up to date. So they show this metric earlier than others do. 50,000 deaths is awful. But be wary of comparisons to countries that haven’t updated yet. I’m in Quebec, and I don’t believe we even have March numbers yet. Govt here is pretty bad at data transparency overall. Edit: yup, quebec is still stuck at February: https://www.stat.gouv.qc.ca/statistiques/population-demographie/naissance-fecondite/i210.htm https://www.stat.gouv.qc.ca/statistiques/population-demograp...
