18,138 tests (334,974 total). ⬆️ still. Good.

5,233 +ve (78,991 total).

3.46 tests for 1 +ve. Suggests broader testing

12,993 people (269,598 Total)
917 HOSPITAL deaths (9,875 Total). 12.5%.

STILL no line for community deaths and this is not remotely OK at this stage
Hospital deaths are down by about 35 on yesterday but we know there can be reporting delays over weekends and this might be true over bank holidays too.

I attach @Egbert_PengWu cumulative charts.

Let’s not forget @DHSCgovuk & @ONS that France (similar pop to the U.K.) has added a backlog of c 3k community deaths to their death outturns in the last two weeks.

UK community deaths matter too. Every one. As does the completeness of certification

Now let us look at two of the Government’s testing “pillars”

The public v NHS personnel. 35% of NHS personnel testing positive.

Is the Gov saying that 35% of the general public have also had COVID?
Or are NHS personnel just not getting enough PPE

We need to keep a close eye on excess deaths from the ONS data.

This thread applies to a period to the end of March so expect further steep upward trends
Community deaths lag well behind hospital deaths by the looks of things.

Are GPs getting it right?

According to the @ONS in a single week there were 1011 more deaths than the 5yr average & only 539 had COVID on the death certificate. So there were an additional 472 excess deaths not related to COVID. I’m struggling with that @krishgm @lewis_goodall

Here you are @DHSCgovuk

France displaying hospital deaths and community deaths separately. The latter account for over a third of the total deaths.

What are ours and are they being certified to include COVID when symptoms were present?
