Today, the UK passed 100,000 coronavirus deaths.
As the pandemic continues to take its toll on the country, it provides an opportunity to look at who has been most affected by the virus.
Geographical trends of Covid-19
If we first look at how deaths have been spread geographically, the worst hit regions in England have been the North West, North East, and West Midlands. This is not surprising since these regions are among the worst hit with respect to Covid-19 cases.
Looking at the North West, which has the highest cumulative death rate of 192 per 100,000 since the beginning of the pandemic, the associated cumulative case rate in this region is 6,878 per 100,000.
Data the Government and NHS are putting out on the coronavirus vaccine rollout in England is “not good enough”, the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) has said.
A dearth of data on who is receiving coronavirus vaccines means the public cannot know how well the programme is progressing, according to Professor Jennifer Rogers, a member of the RSS Covid-19 task force.
Eight weeks into the rollout, some 5.9 million people in England and 6.8 million people in the UK have received their first dose.
But there is currently no official information on how many doses have gone to each priority group in England, which include care home residents and their carers.
