Britain set for 66,000 COVID-19 deaths, highest toll in Europe — study
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBritain could see as many as 66,000 COVID-19 deaths during the first wave of the current pandemic, new research shows, making the outbreak there by far the deadliest in Europe.
Modelling conducted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine shows that approximately 151,680 people are likely to die from the virus across the continent.
More than 5,000 people have died from COVID-19 in Britain, fewer than in Spain, Italy and France.
But Britain’s epidemic lags behind the rest of the continent by several days, and its death toll trajectory is already steeper than other nations.
