Apparently Little Matty is to stop publicising the daily death figures as they are now meaningless ( 28 day rule).
It has been suggested weekly figures only will now appear on the Government website.
Maybe the more accurate ONS death certificate figure should become the official headline figure.
Although it's a week out of date, that doesn't really matter now with low current numbers.
The figure is currently about 55k deaths.

Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good moan, eh?

There will be three sets of figures from now on - deaths within 28 days, deaths within 60 days and the ONS will continue to list deaths where Covid is mentioned even if it wasn’t the cause of death.
 
The government are claiming that due to 'technical difficulties' they are unlikely to give any published updates to numbers today.

Perhaps after creating a world beating track and trace system our world beating gov uk website is now being hacked by Russia. Or the unexpected hot weather in August has blown a vacuum tube.
 
This is after posting the wrong much lower death number yesterday for a couple of hours remember.

Now if you try to access the site it says you do not have permission.

Though if you keep trying about 5 times it will take you to the one from last night.

Very strange.
 
They are now saying on the site it is only deaths data that 'were not' updated today due to 'data processing difficulties'.

But as of yet nothing has been updated. Just that comment added.

So more people have died of flu 7 weeks on the run, it's evidently clear this virus has changed or we have a lot of people immune as apparently it is more contagious and deadly than flu, yet less people are catching and dying of it.

My personal opinion is that it will turn out to be less deadly once a full review is done, but more contagious which is why so many died in a short space of time.

No one can say lockdown and social distancing explains these stats as both viruses are living under the same set of conditions and one is causing more damage than the other.

Well we can rest in the knowledge that if anyone can find it, you will.
 
Anyhow unless something drastic changes soon looks like I will not be able to update today's data. And not sure if they will publish it separately befotre tomorrows.

Hopefully by the morning they will have fixed this.
