(NB ONS puts it at over 44k up to week end 8th May- so 11k more than recorded by DHSC 11 days later.

Plus deaths up to today still to be added. StatsJamie puts excess deaths at 63,160 to 18 May

I know not the extent to which care home deaths are included by the DHSC (we should know).

ONS data: 34,580 care home resident have died in 6 weeks
5763 a week average. 823 every single day.

Five year average 12,752 for the 6 week period.

8.5% of our entire care home resident population has been wiped out in 6 weeks.

Carry on like that and it would be 72% of our entire care home population destroyed in a year.
