LOCKDOWN

I’m glad you said England and that’s how we should be reporting the deaths now. The Tories shouldn’t be getting away with bundling the successes of Scotland, Wales and the Occupied Territories in controlling the virus into their disastrous handling of it.

I guess when all 119 UK deaths have been in England, he is factually correct in his comment.

Both are factual, your figure just has the word “hospital” in front of it, that’s all.

So why do we no longer hear how many have died from Covid in care homes, or come to that, anywhere else now?  Have they stopped counting?  Would it mean, for example, that if I went out for a walk and collapsed & died in the street of it, my death wouldn't be recorded?

Is there one single source(reliable) that gives exact figures for UK deaths. I have seen excess deaths quoted a lot on here. On checking excess deaths see that the last 5 weeks have been below the previous 5 year rate and week on week lower rates are reported. Does this mean people are only dying from covid as nothing else is reported. Also noted if Scotland and Wales included care homes in their figures they would more than double.please note this is a serious question as there seems to be great discrepancies in all reporting

You’ll just get the argument from both sides of the debate that the source is biased etc etc etc. Seen it plenty of times on this Off-Topic Forum. Last time I was asked to provide a source of my figures by WortleyBlue he mocked it because it wasn’t a mainstream newspaper. Independent online media is the present, let alone the future as newspaper sales continue to plummet. What do you want?

Not great is it. 
Was always going to be a game of getting the numbers down so the NHS could cope and have a break. Peoples health is, or should be, the priority, but the economy has got to be thought of also regarding lock downs. 

Also, just a point on your reply to my source question, i do agree with you. Links can always help though IMO. I'll certainly make sure to do it, if people disagree with it, then they can provide something to the contrary. 

Even if that's accurate, I would've thought the number of people who test positive for Covid, recover, and then die of something unrelated within six months would be so small as to be insignificant.

I see the airport managers are not happy with people having to quarantine when they come back from certain countries. They suggested that passengers are tested on arrival and another test 5 days later. Sounds brilliant but who is paying for these tests. A family of four should have to pay another £ 1000. Much better if all holidays are cancelled.

Would hope so. Deeside hospital and mold both have spikes

457 Coronavirus deaths in the UK announced over the last week and 5,000 confirmed new infections. Yesterday one hospital in Essex saw its Respiratory Emergency Department overwhelmed by patients. More locally there’s been a huge spike in Wrexham which seems to be creeping into Flintshire.

Please stay out of pubs and please wear a face mask in public places. The government may not care about our health, but NHS Staff do!

I'm still trying to pin down reliable figures for deaths infections and recovery. Not very easy, in Wales and Scotland if you test positive but don't die within 28 days it appears you must have recovered or later died of something else as you do not appear again on covid records.
Now in England if you test positive you stay on the list untill you die. You are then bundled together with others that are found after trawling through death Certificates then added as a lump sum to the nearest day's figures. If england has had 350,000 positive tests this will be England's total deaths. It is totally confusing

Judging by the comments this morning, coupled with the enforced local lockdown directly affecting Eid festivities, it’s now Muslims and BAME people to blame.

Oh dear, BBC News will be in trouble with their paymasters after reporting that a new outbreak in Scotland has been linked to a pub in Aberdeen. They must have missed the memo from head office to blame it all on Muslims celebrating Eid at home.
