This is from the ONS. The death rate is trending below the 5 yr av and has been for a month now.

The major driver for DTY is the amount of deaths, which are currently running 5-10% below 5 year av. It seems that most of the decline in is hospital deaths, which is where these young deaths would likely be occurring.

Mr5k, it's a link to an ex Blackrock fund manager attempting to predict future earnings off the back of official life insurance data that's feeding through. It could impact DTY's earnimngs. I've not trawled through, is the ONS data age specific?

yikyak, i can see from previous posts that this line of enquiry interests you .. all i can say is that since xmas the no of deaths has been below the 5 year av for three weeks (i know this is a short time and not representative) but it would contradict your theory about it killing younger people .. mr5k

the death rate is staying stubbornly high

Death rate climbing Johnson says that funerals and weddings will likely be excluded from any new restrictions.

[hatfullofsky] 22/12/2021 22:37

The re-rate needs to come from the strategic moves that took this to 900. We need to see the Crematorium business listed or some returns on the pre-need funds of £1bn

[mr5k] 22/12/2021 21:22

Expecting good growth in underlying PBT. Deaths are slightly ahead of this time last year but no restrictions on funeral attendances. We should also see more evidence on the trials of low cost, no frills funerals.

[mr5k] 07/12/2021 18:53

Since July the death rate has been chugging along at about 13% above the 5 year average. To put it bluntly, we seem to have accepted that as the cost of keeping the economy open. Of those deaths, around 2/3rds have Covid on the death certificate and the rest are to do with the massive NHS backlog. You can check the data at the ONS website.

This guys appears as frontline for the industry as you can get. Predicts quite some growth going forward.

Don't confuse him with sense. The sunk cost fallacy and cognitive dissonance has him by what's left of his nuts.

its amazing how little trust so manhy individuals have in their own immune system....got to pop a pill or have an op or take a jab!

[mr5k] 30/11/2021 18:27

I think the reasons are more prosaic: lots of undiagnosed cancer due to major fall off in screening during the pandemic and now. I don't buy into this anti vaxx nonsense.

A small funeral director that my brother talked to did nine funerals in a week, but get this, all of them were under sixty years old. Normally one or two funerals a week, mostly elderly. Funeral director remains un-jabbed himself and understands what's happening.
