This is because deaths aren’t always reported/recorded over the Christmas period, so yesterday was a “catch up” day.

Looking at deaths by specimen date (i.e. the day people died), we can see in the week leading up to Christmas there was an average of 98 deaths per day.

Not all deaths get reported until up to 5 days afer the death, so we don’t have complete post Christmas data yet- but on the 28th we already have 90 deaths reported.

It’s very hard to draw conclusions from any of this (so I’m not going to)- but it’s worth bearing in mind that with other variants, we didn’t see the impact on the death rate until about 4 weeks to a month after the first infections. I would say the majority of deaths we are seeing now will still be from Delta or other variants.

The simultaneous spread of the Delta and Omicron variants of the coronavirus is creating a "tsunami of cases" that continue to put immense pressure on health systems that are already on the brink of collapse, the WHO warned on Wednesday.

"Delta and Omicrom are now twin threats driving up cases to record numbers, leading to spikes in hospitalisation and deaths," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference.

He said the pressure on health systems was not only due to new coronavirus patients, but also large numbers of health workers falling ill with Covid.

The WHO said over 6.5 million cases new cases had been recorded worldwide in the week between Dec 22-28, while the United States and France both registered a record number of daily infections on Wednesday.
