BillyH - should the first bullet point say down from yesterday's 869?
The stats are good for May 30th, but its taking so long - nearly 10 weeks? (to get on top of the virus) into a shut down and still around 8000 estimated new infections a day.
I suspect the lab testing capacity rather than tests is what Hancock will lie the PMs 200000 target was about as that's now 161,214
I think that means we've got capacity in the outbox to send out 205,634 test kits.Incredible what foresight I have, Hancock today claiming we've met PMs target as we have CAPACITY for 205,634 tests, a miraculous overnight increase in capacity of 44,420. What a bunch of charlatans
As of 5pm on 31 May, of those tested positive for coronavirus in the UK, 39,045 have died. This new figure includes deaths in all settings not just in hospitals
Govt report 111 deaths but the total has increased by 556 from yesterday as some more deaths from the last week are being attributed to Covid.
Anyone know the death in hospital figure?
Thanks BillyToday's headline analysis:
• 383 hospital reported infections in 24-hour period, down from yesterday's 427
• 7-day average for new hospital reported infections decreases by 6.4%, following 7.3% decrease yesterday (and 26th consecutive daily decrease)
• 7-day average for new hospital reported infections is 39.3% lower than one week ago (from 37.6% lower yesterday) and 51.7% lower than two weeks ago (from 49.5% lower yesterday and 43.3% lower 7 days ago)
• 113 new deaths in all settings reported in 24-hour period, down from 113 yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths in all settings decreases by 0.6%, following 0.3% decrease yesterday (and 4th consecutive daily decrease)
• 7-day average for new deaths in all settings is 20.4% lower than one week ago (from 21.4% lower yesterday) and 38.3% lower than two weeks ago (from 39.0% lower yesterday and 36.4% lower 7 days ago)
It is, if you are doing it to cover up the fact your special advisor broke lockdown rules and you're too petrified to sack himI'm very concerned about how the 7 day rolling average is flattening out and the triple digit death figures, not the sort of situation in which you should be lifting restrictions if you ask me.
Possibly because it was an England hospital figure, whereas the total is all settings for all UK individual countries.As has been highlighted by others, the difference between yesterday's and today's totals for deaths is actually 445 higher than the reported daily figure. This is due to a correction to the figures to include historical data for deaths which have occurred following a positive test under Pillar 2 of the government's testing strategy.
The government has also stopped reporting the number of deaths which have occurred within hospitals. It's not clear why.

I'm not sure, I could never get it to align with the reported hospital deaths and so thought it was 'all uk hospitals'.Possibly because it was an England hospital figure, whereas the total is all settings for all UK individual countries.
Scotland haven't reported hospital deaths alone. They also report on a different 24 hour timeframe compared with England. At one point, I thought there was an adjustment for this although I never got to the bottom of it.I'm not sure, I could never get it to align with the reported hospital deaths and so thought it was 'all uk hospitals'.
eg Yesterday the Department of Health and Social Care reported that deaths in hospital were 119 (larger than the reported 113 in all settings for previously stated reasons).
But Public Health England reported 85 hospital deaths, of which only 15 happened yesterday:
