When I left for the UK over three weeks ago, the number of Covid-19 deaths in my village was zero. On my return, I learned three people have died from the disease. In a village with a population of 650 people, this equates to a death rate of 0.46%.
Comparing this with France’s rate of 0.048%, it means my village’s death rate is technically 9.59 times higher than the national rate, though to be fair, such statistics do not mean much with such a small distribution as a tiny village’s population.
