Excess deaths in the FT (none / 1)

After publication of our excess deaths comparison this morning, Spain has revised higher its deaths total by 12,000 in an unscheduled publication.

We have updated the FT story accordingly https://t.co/hhmkQp93NT pic.twitter.com/kBys11AQqJ

But they are still talking about the UK as though it was one, rather than four, nations. According to The National

WITHOUT the devolved nations considered, England has the worst coronavirus mortality rate in the world according to a Financial Times data visualisation journalist.
John Burn-Murdoch was speaking to Sky News earlier today and explained that data from March to May shows England's coronavirus death rate has been the worst of any country that data is available for.

But actually looking at the data, the excess deaths in the US are about half of the counted Corona dead? What's up with that?

Fewer dead from traffic accidents, air pollution, suicide etc? I don't have the source, but I remember Italian statistics showing lots of excess deaths in the North, but -9% excess deaths in Naples and Palermo, which were relatively COVD free.

That certainly happens and the US collapse of employment is truly massive. But then, they state that their data has been updated until the 28th, but I don't see that they give information of when the country data was updated. Maybe they are just a week or two old?
