The CMI has released its weekly mortality monitor. Age-standardised death rates this year have tracked the best year on record (2019) fairly closely and continue to do so. That’s despite deaths with Covid rising this week to the highest level since February.

UK life expectancy for 2021-2023 out today, showing an increase. The Aust figures are due out in about two weeks but will show a decline (our 2023 mortality was worse than our 2020)

A big increase in official life expectancy today as 2023 replaces 2020 in the 3-year average used in the calculation. However, life expectancy remains below pre-pandemic levels (2017-19). Life expectancy will predictably increase again next year (when 2024 replaces 2021).

Hospital admissions with Covid in England hit another peak in July - the highest since January. They are now decreasing, with the 7-day average falling by 14% in the last week of July. Hopefully this is now a sustained fall, in contrast to the dip reported at the end of June.

Age-standardised mortality rates year-to-date remain among the lowest seen, still tracking 2014, 2019 and 2022. Those 3 years were all similar in 1st half of the year but very different in 2nd half. It’ll be a few more weeks until we see which one 2024 tracks (if any).
