cvd - UK daily deaths (+ ra), 6th May 2021

The daily deaths rate has declined dramatically since January 2021. In recent days (late April) the rate of decrease has declined, with the 7-day rolling average on 7/5/21 still in double figures.
Two main factors have contributed to this situation, firstly, the lockdown reducing the infection rate and secondly the role of vaccination in protecting the more vulnerable members of the UK's population, plus the improvements in drugs and treatments available.
