“UK daily deaths may have peaked”

Why do I say UK daily deaths may have peaked?

New chart: week-on-week change in daily deaths.

This gets rid of weekly reporting patterns and asks, are more people dying than at same point last week?

In UK, blue bars mean we’re now seeing *fewer* deaths than same day last week. pic.twitter.com/nFSZyMiunV
