Here’s the same for Spanish regions. Many parts of Spain had severe outbreaks. Three saw deaths more than double, and a total of 10/19 saw at least a 30% spike. Nonetheless, the data suggest the worst of Spain’s outbreak was contained in fewer regions than the UK’s.pic.twitter.com/mJUJp02dcx

Here are Italian regions, now with fresh data Lombardy hit v hard, and 5 other northern regions saw excess deaths of 50%+, but in most regions numbers were relatively muted, including Lazio (contains Rome). 5/20 regions saw no excess, and another 8 saw excess of less than 30%.pic.twitter.com/HqKjyzQTyU

Finally here’s France, where Paris suffered badly, and the Grand Est region also faced a big outbreak, but although most other areas were affected none saw all-cause deaths increase by 30% or more. For whatever reason, UK’s outbreak spread further than in peer countries.pic.twitter.com/U3YfLqwHZn

We’re still looking for more all-cause deaths data, where India is now our top target, but any country is appreciated Ideally daily, weekly or monthly data, for multiple years, and including 2020. Can be for one town or city, not just nationally
