Health of Britons Is Surprisingly Good During War
Britain’s health remained surprisingly good in the third winter of the war, says the Ministry of Health. Respiratory tuberculosis rose to 23 660 deaths in 1940 from 22 199 in 1939, with the rise most notable among girls and young women aged 15–25. Diphtheria declined in 1940, and scarlet fever did not grow due to wartime population shifts.
