    If there wasnt a problem we wouldnt be in lock down. Its simple, this is worse than seasonal flu on our health system.

    No it's not correct...or at least better to say those death figures were already available elsewhere...as I said the Guardian had the death numbers before 9, as did this site below which I checked at around 9-15.

    The winner of the argument is....Sadbrewer.

    The England figures were the last to be released at 20.47.

    I've screenshot yesterday's LIVE coronavirus feed from the BBC News website.

    So every death is still being recorded and consent doesn't have to be given. If 100+ deaths yesterday had been released the government would have been had a go at. The number released is much lower and the government still get people coming at them saying they are fiddling numbers.

    Today's figure for the UK is 115. It seems a lot higher, but Kate McCann explained in those tweets that due to a change in the collation timeframe, you should add yesterdays figure to today's figure and divide by two for the true picture.

    Correct. I haven't returned to this forum to argue. It's called discussion.

    The government twitter account has offered an explanation:

    To pinpoint the date of the roughly equivalent number of deaths.

    On the 9th March Italy had 463 deaths.

    So that's 17 days. That's not to say we'll have the same, but it wouldn't surprise me if we're somewhere close. Issue is ventilators. People will die because we simply don't have enough and doctors will be forced to play God. Unplugging one person's life system, to save another. And repeat. The weight on their shoulders, no one should have to bare.

    While it wouldn't be accurate it's a lot more accurate than just assuming that today's announced figures are true and so were yesterday's

    Yesterday's deaths figures were effectively only accounting for an 8 hour period

    Discussion is a synonym of argument. It doesn't have to be angry or heated to be an argument.

    It’s just mathematically stupid. And they should revise yesterday’s figures and report today’s properly.

    edit
    Now seen the explanation of the reason for changeover of reporting.

    To me - this is the one that will be critical in a few weeks time - we’ll see from that how ‘additive’ Covid is to those deaths which were already likely to happen.

    Remember it’s just UK - so Covid hasn’t really had any impact yet on the deaths. So it’s a ‘good’ year so far...

    Yeah, I figured that out just after I posted so I edited my post then decided to delete it so as not to confuse matters further. I tell you, this decaf tastes alright but it really doesn't do the business.
