The two main causes of excess excess death that Britian is seeing seeing are vascular issues and diabetes.

Guess what two of the main long term effects we have seen with Covid are?

Then why is the UK in particular doing so badly with this? A more-likely scenario is that this is the outcome of prioritising Covid (and avoiding Covid) over all other healthcare since March 2020, which has been a relatively unique factor with how our NHS has handled the pandemic.

Scotland isn't seeing the same excess death surge (there's a rise but no where near England and Wales levels).
