The 9am figures not disclosed yet?

Apologies for being late on parade today. Been tied up with work.

You may remember that I pointed out the government had altered the way in which it reports new deaths the other day, by discounting 109 deaths as being historical (despite historical deaths usually being counted on the day they are announced). Had they been included in the daily count, the 7-day average for new deaths would have now increased for 4 of the past 6 days.

Also of note in today's statistics is that the 7-day average for deaths in UK hospitals has also increased (for the first time in 3 weeks), alongside the average for deaths in all settings.
 
Billy are the rises statistically significant at the moment, or could the rises be a blip? I can add up, but statistics are not my forte.

Forecasting is a bit of a dark art. It’s much easier to say what has happened rather than trying to predict what will.

However, my reading of things (both for infections and deaths) is that we’re starting to plateau a bit. If you compare the averages with where we were 1 or 2 weeks ago, they are still going down, but these individual daily rises would suggest that the rate of change is likely to slow.

I suppose the question is how significant such a plateauing would be?

It might be partly due to the fact that we’ve now got lower numbers, so some fluctuation is more likely. That said, if you compare us with other European countries, they appear to have sustained their decreases well past this point, so it’s worrying in that respect.

Can anyone explain what these figures are telling us?
 
I really would have hoped (I mean who wouldn't) for lower numbers of both infections and deaths than what we're seeing by now but then like Chris says regarding infections if it's close to 150,000 unique people tested a day it would make sense to still find 700-1000 a day considering the wider community testing.

The issue with deaths is what % are now in hospital with positive test.
A couple of weeks ago there was a day for sure where of the 100 or so people who had died (within hospital) 30 of them did not have a positive test.

Now within community we know that many are being classified without positive test but thankfully excess deaths are at normal levels again (for last weeks release only mind).

If we continue to see that tomorrow it might be due to covids status as being a notifiable disease rather than prevalence of the virus.

I've only really been paying attention to hospital deaths and admissions the past week.

We are told hospitals are running back at pre pandemic levels now.
 
I'd have alot more faith that the numbers are indeed moving in the right direction if they show us clearly how many people are being tested each day.

Incredible incompetence that for over a month the govt have been incapable of telling us how many people have been tested each day under Pillar 2
