    Snippet: This paper studied whether there are any spillover effects of the covid-19 pandemic on other types of mortality (for those who did not contract covid-19), using graphs and a differences-in-differences econometric approach. The graphs show that there is a steep relative and absolute increase in mortality in week 14 of 2020 compared to 2019. This increase is persistent for most sub-group analyses, by sex, most age groups and regions. However, there.....
    Document: This paper studied whether there are any spillover effects of the covid-19 pandemic on other types of mortality (for those who did not contract covid-19), using graphs and a differences-in-differences econometric approach. The graphs show that there is a steep relative and absolute increase in mortality in week 14 of 2020 compared to 2019. This increase is persistent for most sub-group analyses, by sex, most age groups and regions. However, there are two important points to take into account. First, while the percentage difference between 2020 and 2019 reaches its peak in week 14 of the year, there were weeks prior to the coronavirus outbreak that also demonstrated higher number of deaths compared to the control year. Second, there is an absolute and relative dip in non-covid-19 deaths in week 13 of the current year, well into the pandemic, when there were already 2,000 covid-19 deaths in England and Wales.
