The gov web site btw is seemingly going to continue publishing both sets of death figures and allowing you to compare.
They now show yesterday's 77 all settings deaths & total of 46,706 with a new box below stating 'Deaths within 28 days of positive test'. Allowing day to day comparison.
The second box shows yesterday that 77 and cummulative total would be on this newly adopted measure for yesterday just 20 deaths not 77 and 41,329 in total.
So 57 of yesterday's 77 do not count if you only use the 28 day measure. No wonder out of hospital deaths have been high lately compared with hospital deaths.
