I just can't believe PHE could be so incompetent - it's scandalous.
Read for yourselves.
Judgement reserved until PHE comment- @PHE_uk?

This is astonishing. I’ve wondered for a while why the UK’s apparent daily death toll from the virus is so much higher than other countries given our ever diminishing new confirmed case numbers. It never made any sense and now we know why. So while countries like Spain are fiddling their numbers down, we are fiddling them up!Quote:

I don’t think the government want people to be suppressed. They want them out spending money. That said they’ll kind of relish this as a reason to blame others and not themselves.
It just shows how government departments get flustered though. Early doors they weren’t counting deaths (clearly due to covid) if the final cause was say pneumonia brought on by covid. They swiftly changed that when it became public knowledge but are now potentially counting things skewed the other way 🙄
What is less clear though is just how many of those deaths there are and how much they’ve actually skewed the figures. Aren’t excess deaths (over the norm) still way up?
I understood for several weeks deaths have been below the 5 year average suggesting that Covid 19 has "brought forward" the deaths of the very ill.Quote:

Everything is context.
Yeah in the round I think you’re right Graham. That said for some regions of the U.K. excess deaths are still up - the north west for example and the East Midlands by the looks of things. A really good article on it all here -> https://www.economist.com/graphic-de...ross-countriesQuote:
