BREAKING: Coronavirus death toll 20% higher than NHS figures, new data suggests

They differ from those reported by the government and NHS in England and Wales because of different reporting methods and timings. The ONS figures are based on deaths registered in a given week, whereas the official toll is based on deaths occurring among hospital patients in a given week.London

The expected spike comes after Monday marked the first time the daily increase in deaths had fallen for two days straight.Figures were recorded as dropping from 209 on Sunday and 260 on Saturday, the worst rise in deaths so far in the UK. Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London said the rate of hospital admissions suggests social distancing guidance is making a difference.

He told the BBC on Monday: ‘In the UK we can see some early signs of slowing in some indicators – less so deaths because deaths are lagged by a long time from when measures come in force.

Bullshit. The numbers are being fudged. Sick people that die 'WITH' coronavirus are being reported as having died 'OF' it. Instead of, for example, the cancer they have fought for years and succumbed to. Fek of with your hysterical headlines we are heartily sick of THEM not CV19

Absolute bollocks. A massive amount of cases going untested and recovered which would bring the death ratio right down. Scare mongering bastards

Numbers, statistics and damn lies

Don't believe it.
