Sorry to labour the point Karen, and thank you for your valuable input on this thread, but this is of those testing positive in hospital. That total excludes deaths in the community from Eng and Wales. This significantly under estimates the total deaths.

The trend is levelling off suggesting we are more or less at the peak,death rates will continue to be high for nowNot really improving is it
I know mate, I meant the total deaths, not those given on a daily basis which I get are fairly meaningless in isolation.No doesn’t work like that as “only” 150 or so of those today died yesterday. The others were on previous days.

Yes it is early but it not just us,americans is the same so there is definately more investigation to be done
I am aware of that but there are other variables at play. You only have to look at South Korea. I would suggest the majority of the population is not Caucasian. They have lower deaths and infections than the UK.
You could easily get into a "What did the Romans ever do for us" type conversation. We need more data to establish covariance. You cannot be confident of covariance from topline data.

The number of tests is all the tests they have done ,patients,frontline staff,etcSorry to labour the point Karen, and thank you for your valuable input on this thread, but this is of those testing positive in hospital.

The death numbers are hospitals only,because that is 100% certain
The ONS figure is seperate and released on a tues,they are not added together but the figures are there to see
Edit,scotland are now including care home numbers
Why are people suddenly getting confused by the daily numbers

The trend may 'appear to not be too bad'.It’ll be circa 900 by the time they add Scotland, Wales and Ireland into the mix, however I’d also hazard a guess that it’s higher due to Easter lag too.
All in all, appears to not be too bad.
The absolute numbers are horrendous.
I’m not confused, I’m saying the real figure is somewhere nearer 25,000-a death rate of between 40-45% in the community is very much in line with other European countries. Decisions are being made on these totals when they are evidently under counted-and that, appreciating there will be more variation in accuracy in the community, is a political decision.The number of tests is all the tests they have done ,patients,frontline staff,etc

Sorry I'm confusing it with the UK number.Petty sure that hasn’t happened-you can see from France totals the big jump when they started adding deaths in the community. I believe Scotland have been adding those-but our tally is from deaths in hospital alone.
