Actual deaths due to COVID are some 54% or 63% lower than implied by the standard excess deaths measure, and reported excess deaths likely include a significant number of non-COVID deaths.
This would bring total covid19 deaths in UK to date down to around about 20,000.
While it is well known that COVID deaths are concentrated in the elderly, the study finds them to be particularly acute in the very elderly (75-84 and 85+ years old).
Over the lockdown period as a whole Government policy has increased mortality rather than reduced it.

Research from Loughborough and Sheffield Universities suggests new approach to recording COVID deaths
A new study by academics at the Universities of Loughborough and Sheffield, and economic consultants at Economic Insight, seeks to provide a more statistically robust approach to the question: “How many deaths in England and Wales are due to COVID-19?”.
