Just said on BBC News that 568 of today’s reported deaths in England are actually deaths that took place from 1st April and 7th April.

that’s what it will be like every day with the lag in reported deaths.

900 odd deaths is atrocious though

Just said on BBC News that 568 of today’s reported deaths in England are actually deaths that took place between 1st April and 7th April.

Its why daily deaths have become a bit meaningless with add in from other sources, and other dates then days with lower reporting. Numbers in critical care becomes a better guide, and at the moment that seems relatively steady.

“
NHS England has recorded 765 new deaths in hospital from coronavirus.

It said that 140 of them occurred yesterday, while 568 took place between 1 April and 7 April.

The remaining 57 deaths took place in March, including two on 19 March and one on 16 March.”

Their staff being their wives or husband

Sometimes yes, and MPs who have abused the system in that way deserve to be called out. Our MP is Tony Lloyd though and he's a thoroughly decent guy with a really helpful team. Haven't heard much about how he's getting on in hospital actually. Hope he's doing ok.

Chinese data on lack of significant detectable antibodies on around 30% of samples they have taken is also a blow to the already fraught exercise of fine tuning the anti body tests specificity. This has been championed by all as a key component of containment measures fir future policy.

if were going to have percentages with low or no antibodies then were in the shit until a vacine comes along

Or it may just mean we still don’t have a reliable antibody test yet, which is what the government are saying. Though a few seem to be well along in being developed.

It is probably more a case of the tests being innacurate,the yanks have rushed in an antibody test as well,i dont expect their figures to be very reliable either

Bristol University says it may have developed a vaccine for covid 19 and trials are imminent. Some possible good news there

Yeah. They're catching up. Each trust only has a couple of people tasked with doing this normally and processing each death can take an hour plus.
Doctors are snowed under too so haven't the time to write the certificates.
