data/ contains COVID-19 mortality and vaccination rate that were open source (links in manuscript) but are no longer available online. Other open souce data that are still available online are not included here, but their links are listed in the manuscript.
ONS/ contains the adminstrative shapfiles for this analysis.
All temperature-mortality modelling is done in 01_02_04_05_06_MortalitySeriesUncert_heatcold.r, with open source HadUK-Grid and all-cause mortality data linked in the manuscript. This script also plots supplementary Figure S3.
