Extraordinary, NO Covid Deaths so far in North Acton.

North Acton (MSOA Ealing 015) - 0 confirmed deathsAs far as I can see we are the only area in London with no deaths so far, gobsmacking when you see out little "oasis" on the map of London, surrounded by fatalities. And yes, I am aware we have a lot of industrial and non-residential, but nonetheless makes me feel a bit more safe and comfortable.Keep using common sense people and observe Social Distancing!  And Wear Masks.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8277273/Coronavirus-deaths-TWICE-high-poor-areas-England-Wales-Official-figures-show.html

The areas set up by the ONS to have similar populations - that of North Acton is said to be 3,700. Much of that could be students but the difference is probably mainly due to the presence of care homes. I think the Acton Care Centre on Gunnersbury Lane which is a sizeable facility would count as Acton Central.

If I've understood correctly, I think it's done on the postcode of where you live, not the hospital.

It may just be that the deaths of North Acton residents have been recorded in hospitals outside of the local area.

Maybe the A40 pollution is good for us North Actoners after all?!
