Where re you getting your stats from?

Seems to be so many different sources and different numbers being shared - hard to tell which are the most accurate

Positive cases (pillars 1, 2 and 4) were 1,033. Information on which pillar has been discontinued.

There is nothing more frustrating than the government amalgamating statistics which they have reported separately for months.

They're taken from the government's official coronavirus statistics website:

Did you know that July 30th was 0 deaths day.. crazy eh.

0 reported.

Deaths in England on 30th July were:
Date of Death... No time restriction... Death within 60 days... Death within 28 days
30/07/2020......... 45....................................... 13............................................ 8

Sad times.. I wonder if the first 0 death day will even be reported given we've magically changed to reporting cases.

Always remember as well that it's with not of ... In reality we've probably had many 0 'of' days already.

Not my area of expertise but isn't that the case for the vast majority of ailments, eg you don't die of cancer but you die because your immune system packs up & you get a secondary infection?

 

[Alvez_48]

The discrepancy is more someone has stage 4 cancer but tests positive for covid, if that makes sense.

Isn't that the same thing?
In my example it would be Cancer & the 'secondary infection' noted on the death certificate.
In your example it would Cancer & Covid noted.

We are tracking both. Both are relevant

Well actually if covid accelerated a cancer patients death, then covid is the cause of death.

Like if a cancer patient was due to die tomorrow but died in a car accident today the cause of death would be the car accident

So the government concludes 2 died (within 28 days) What do about the 90 who died with positive tests after 28 days. What column are they entered in ?

Once a week on a Tuesday the ONS reports those that have covid-19 on their death certificate. Not every 28 day death is recorded on a death certificate and only some of the 60 day figures are recorded.

Still recorded, just not given same public release as the pre-28 days.

Apologies, that is just England not UK.

From a PHE technical summary on 12 August:

There are also Covid-19 deaths registered for which no positive test is recorded.
