The 9am figures not disclosed yet?

The increase in cases with key worker tests makes the blue line look more pessimistic than it is. Is it worth plotting the Pillar 1 only as that would be interesting to see how far the deaths are lagging falling numbers of cases?

Ask and ye shall receive. I think you're right incidentally - I'll just count and plot Pillar 1 from now onwards.

This is the chart I use to compare the five largest countries in western Europe on a days since 100th death basis. The lines are different lengths due to each country being at a different stage in the pandemic.

They achieved what they SAID they's set out to do which is not the same as what they set out to do( which was test 100,000 people a day). This target was diluted by Hancock to' 100,000 tests/day', then got diluted further to 'Capacity for 100,000 tests/day' , then diluted further to' capacity for 100,000 tests/day including those in the post and multiple tests on the same people'.

As of 9am on 3 May, there have been 1,206,405 tests, with 76,496 tests on 2 May.

882,343 people have been tested of which 186,599 tested positive.

As of 5pm on 2 May, of those tested positive for coronavirus in the UK, 28,446 have sadly died. This new figure includes deaths in all settings not just in hospitals. The equivalent figure under the old measure would have been 24,097.

Approximately 2.3% increase in infections.

22,517 'tests' were posted out.

Plus another large numbers were sent somewhere else as well. About just under 40,000 off the number they quoted. Then minus even more as only around 73000 people were tested in total. As double tests on the same person were counted.

See all the comments They changed the counting method at the last minute. To pretend that they had achieved the target. They achieved around 73000 people. A good try but not hitting the target. As usual they lied rather than told the truth about it.
 
Today's headline analysis:

• 2,441 hospital reported infections in 24-hour period, down from yesterday's 2,750
• 7-day average for new hospital reported infections decreases by 1.3%, following 4.3% decrease yesterday (and 14th consecutive daily decrease)
• 315 new deaths in all settings reported in 24-hour period, down from 621 yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths in all settings decreases by 2.3%, following 4.7% decrease yesterday (and 9th consecutive daily decrease)
• We are tracking significantly above both Italy and Spain on a days since 100th death basis. We have been tracking above Italy for the past 32 days and above Spain for the past 12 days.
• We are approximately 1.5 days behind Italy’s numbers (same as yesterday)
• We are approximately 5 days ahead of Spain’s numbers (from 4 days ahead yesterday)
 
Notes - I have switched to just reporting the hospital reported infections (Pillar 1 of the government's testing strategy), as this gives a better like-for-like comparison of illness related infections. Under this measure, the numbers have been falling for two weeks.

There has been a rather confusing 315 deaths reported in all settings in the past 24 hours. This is despite the hospital based deaths totalling 396. Apparently, this is due to the government's new reporting system, which includes deaths that have actually occured in the past 24 hours (rather than those which have just been reported in the past 24 hours), so some of the hospital deaths reported today have already been included in previous days' figures.

Thanks for the clarification. I couldn't work out how they came up with today's figure.

What comments?
If they didn't achieve those figures then why is the question asked?
 
As of 9am on 4 May, there have been 1,291,591 tests, with 85,186 tests on 3 May.

945,299 people have been tested, of whom 190,584 tested positive.

As of 5pm on 3 May, of those tested positive for coronavirus in the UK, 28,734 have died. This new figure includes deaths in all settings, not just in hospitals. The equivalent figure under the old measure would have been 24,332.

Approximately 2.1% increase in new cases, half of which are more serious NHS presentees. (This was said to be too high at the press briefing this evening.)
