I can't find the released figures. Where are people getting them from?

bbc :

A further 429 people have died with coronavirus in hospitals in England, latest figures show.

NHS England said that 348 of these deaths were reported over the weekend, while the others took place at earlier dates.

Not on the website yet.

Promising figures.

Unfortunately, there will a big spike tomorrow with care home numbers from the ONS. Most likely going to be much worse in the following fortnight.

Ah. So as of tomorrow they're going to start including care home figures? That's going to be very confusing if so.

Never been so drained in all my life, think I need to take a break from reading the Daily mail...

No, the ONS figures that include care home deaths are produced weekly every Tuesday, tomorrow's will be for the week ending 10th April.

You have to be a front line NHS worker, emergency worker/key worker to get a test.

Edit: sorry. Just read back. You work for the NHS. Should be OK

My niece who works at Kings has not been tested. She is a pharmacist who has to go on the wards at times although thankfully this has been reduced.

But even accounting for the inevitable spike tomorrow those numbers are lower than those announced on previous Monday's aren't they? Come on, give us something positive to hang on to!

No they’ve been included for weeks. The ONS only updates once a week on a Tuesday though. Come on Ste, you’re on this thread as much as I am.

Yes you're right and if you're looking for some positivity you've come to the wrong place.

You'll be hard pressed to find any media reporting anything in a positive light, I presume they don't want people to get complacent about the lockdown.

Ha. There's only so much reading of Gelson's tables I can take before my head turns to mush.

On the deaths graph you will see 2 lines for UK one is the hospital only figure blue and the other total number brown

Clear now that the 8th was peak mortality therefore peak infection was at lockdown as expected. If nothing else it shows the lockdown worked.

To some degree. The Rn (R0 over time) is still far to close to one for my liking. There is a continuous spread that is still happening and that this level could be much lower.
It has to be happening in areas of dense housing and while we're shopping or queuing for shopping.
Face masks need to be made mandatory in such circumstances then we can slug it.

It comes out fastest on the twitter feed after the press release.

All deaths.

 

[lancs blue]

All deaths.

Yes but if you scroll to the tab on the spreadsheet marked "covid19-place of occurrence" they're broken down into where the covid deaths occurred - hospital, care home etc.

Yes, but it's not just Care Homes deaths or COVID-19 deaths was the point I was making.
