[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Coronavirus deaths rise for FIFTH week in a row in England and Wales with 36% rise to 438 in early October and now make up 4.4% of all fatalities - Office for National Statistics report shows deaths rising continuously since September 11
- Fatalities in England and Wales had fallen for 19 straight weeks until second wave bit at the end of summer
- Covid-19 now accounts for around one in every 23 deaths, up from 3.2 per cent a week earlier
Although the number of deaths rising is a concern, the current numbers still don't compare to those in the peak of the first wave, when more than 1,000 people died each day. In the worst week on record, between April 11 and 17, the deaths of a staggering 8,758 coronavirus patients were recorded. The most recent week is just five per cent of that number.
