Simulated death rates for religious groups just for COVID-19 and without COVID-19 in March–May 2020, age 65 years and over. Note: the rates are for age groups 65 years and over, but are not standardised to reflect the internal age composition of this group. The proportion of British Jews aged 85 and over out of those aged 65 years and over is higher than the respective proportion among Christians.
