Irregular heartbeat likely to be one of the reasons more people than usual have been dying this year. May and June saw a particularly high level of excess mortality, of the 6,473 excess deaths in May, more than three-quarters (4,897 or 76%) were not due to coronavirus. The proportion was even higher in June, with 82% not due to Covid-19 (2,900 of 3,516). #UK #ExcessDeaths
