New calculation of the number of deaths from Coronavirus in the UK

[islaydarkblue]

Yesterday it was announced that the Public Health authorities in England have been calculating the number of deaths from coronavirus incorrectly resulting in the total number of deaths throughout the UK today being reduced by 5.400. Why has this happened. Unbelievably if a person had a positive test for coronavirus in February 2020 in England and died three months later from a heart attack their death has been counted as dying from coronavirus.
Under the new sensible measure there were only 18 deaths today as opposed to over 70 deaths yesterday under the old inflated measure.
The public health authorities throughout the UK have obviously not been speaking to each other otherwise they would have soon discovered that Public Health England were using a different method to calculate the number of daily deaths from coronavirus compared to the Public Health officials in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This change in calculations was reported on the BBC news with barely a whimper.
However in my opinion the lockdown could have begun sooner and there would likely have been less people losing their jobs if Public Health England had only counted the number of people who actually died from coronavirus.

In the SNP world if you have coronavirus, are hospitalised, never leave hospital but die more than 28 days later from it...it doesn’t count.

This error by Public Health England in calculating the number of deaths from coronavirus has serious implications for people living throughout the whole of the UK including Scotland.
The daily number of deaths from coronavirus throughout the UK have been continually inflated resulting in panic measures being taking the authorities including Nicola Sturgeon.
In the 24 hours to 9am on Wednesday 12th August 2020 there were 79 deaths throughout the whole of the UK from coronavirus using the old ‘flawed’ Public Health England calculation.
In the 24 hours to 9am on Thursday 13th August 2020 there were 18 deaths throughout the whole of the UK from coronavirus using the new correct measure where the cause of death was from coronavirus. This is a reduction in the number of daily deaths from coronavirus of 77.21%!
With a greatly reduced number of daily deaths from coronavirus the 2019-20 Football season in Scotland might have been able to play to a finish and the 2020-21 season start on time with spectators being able to attend the games.
John Nelms should be sending a bill to Public Health England for the loss of a transfer fee for Kane Hemmings as a result of them fraudulently calculating the correct number of deaths from coronavirus in the Public Health England area.
So called Public Health England ‘experts’ do not have to be Einstein’ to calculate the number of deaths from coronavirus in their area as it will be stated on the death certificate as the primary cause of death.
