DoH pauses daily coronavirus death toll figures after calls for review

UNDER-fire Public Health England is pausing publication of its daily coronavirus death tally after being accused of issuing dodgy stats.

According to a note on the Government's website, the review means it is now pausing publication of its daily death figure "while this is resolved". This means anyone who has ever tested positive for Covid-19 and then dies is included in the death figures, even if they have died from something else. "One reasonable approach would be to define community Covid-related deaths as those that occurred within 21 days of a Covid positive test result.

The experts said the issue relates to England only, as Scotland and Northern Ireland use a 28-day cut-off.On the Government death statistics website for England it admits: "Deaths are counted where a lab-confirmed positive coronavirus test result is reported in any setting.Military at a Covid-19 testing centre in Spinney Hill Park in LeicesterCredit: Crown Copyright

URGENT REVIEW NEEDED MATTHEW.

Bit late. Anyone with sense has been saying since MARCH that the death toll figures are skewed. Everyone I know knows someone who knows a story about someone dying of X but being put down as a Covid death. Same in every country. I have friends all over the world who confirm this.

Coronavirus: Health Secretary Matt Hancock orders urgent review into Public Health England death dataAn urgent review has been ordered into how daily coronavirus death figures are calculated after it was claimed the current method did not account for people recovering from COVID-19. For England and Wales only and from 2 weeks ago. Because dying with Covid and dying from are two different things. Every death matters. How will they find out exactly how many died from the virus and not another health issue or a combination of the virus, deaths related to only the virus will be nowhere near the current total, a lot less I suspect, this is scandalous 😡
