A further 823 people have died in hospital in the UK with coronavirus, taking the total to 17,337

Today's briefing was led by Health Secretary Matt Hancock.

But Mr Hancock faced more questioning on PPE. He denied that the government had made a political decision not to be involved in an EU scheme on ventilators, a claim made by a top Foreign Office official earlier today. Sources have since said the official misspoke.A vaccine developed in Oxford will begin trials in people this Thursday; a stage which can often take years to reach.

If these people had observed the lockdown they would be so kind now. criminals

The average for April is 774 deaths per day, the last seven days we had an average 747. This week average for the last two days is 638 or 624 for three days if you start the week on Sunday when the numbers drop. Last week's average 798 per day.

See the bit where he slips up and says 'death rate' instead of 'number of cases' before correcting himself? Rates can cause meaningful comparisons: you sell barmy, uncorrespondent tallies, in a sort of sporty UK or international death race. Rates are permitted for vehicles only!

Not bad from the population

So including deaths at home and care homes the UK total stands at 24,000+ The UK is on course for 40,000 deaths and the UK government claims its plans are working.

Report the real figures, please.

17,337 deaths IN HOSPITAL. That's not all of them is it. Give an accurate figure, or qualify it.

What we're not being told is that many people are dying of underlying health issues who have tested positive for covid-19. But doctors cannot confirm if the cause of death was c19.

These Death figures Are Alarming !

The trouble here is, is that the number of deaths being reported are from patients who were tested positive. It doesn't mean to say they died of Covid-19, they may have but it isn't conclusive. Also, the death rate for Jan, Feb, March 2020 is on par with 2019 figures. Explain?

How many NHS Staff is infected?

bbclaurak afneil fail to remember that BorisJohnson theresa_may Jacob_Rees_Mogg Nigel_Farage have been DESTROYING BRITAIN'S NHSEngland NHSuk, cutting pay/staff Doctors/Nurses for Tory Profit, who wants to bet they are buying FUNERAL/MORTUARY STOCKS. UKLabour LibDems

He claimed they have just started to find out about some of the aspects of the virus' infectiousness. I guess they mustn't have access to the internet to do any research. How could I have known 5 weeks ago, what they are discovering now!!

Wearing N95 respirators gives near complete protection from infection, 400 times reduction as a minimum, generally over 1,000. We must wear masks when in public spaces!

It was announced on the news that your statistics are not right and transparent,as 41% is not reported

With ONS 40% added were at 25k families bereaved .. and yet the media is silent on the fact we've passed the government's own marker of 20 k as 'doing well' and not having peaked .. When will the bbc bringing this up . Next government or one after that

Until they start actually testing and not just sticking COVID-19 on a death certificate because it either makes things easier or justifies a screwed up response....then I am taking this number with a pinch of salt.

I am very sad 😢 come to me write me the link

That Laura Kuenesberg really gets on my nerves

Less than 400,000 tested? Disgraceful.

Double the average total deaths for this time of year - get the message now? Keep the lockdown in place!

Absolutely disgusted at the 6.00 o’clock news the good news of vaccine a small item of news, everything else negative at what has been achieved as usual disgraceful

😭😭😭😭

On the news you show graphs with London, midlands, Scotland etc but not the north east are we not worth mentioning we would like to know the status here too

I am very sad 😢 come to me write me the link

Please if we haven’t reached NHSuk capacity why is there still deaths at home being attributed to Covid? Surely they should of been receiving treatment?
