Change in the way C-19 deaths are reported in the UK 11:17 - Mar 26 with 565 views | Guthrum | This is going to render the stats pretty meaningless.
Edit: Not sure why it's necessary, either. These are unattributable statistics, not names and addresses. [Post edited 26 Mar 2020 11:46]

Change in the way C-19 deaths are reported in the UK on 14:12 - Mar 26 with 447 views | Bluesquid | An interesting article at the Spectator from a recently retired professor of pathology and a former NHS consultant pathologist regarding a possible serious problem regarding the way that deaths are recorded. "In the current climate, anyone with a positive test for Covid-19 will certainly be known to clinical staff looking after them: if any of these patients dies, staff will have to record the Covid-19 designation on the death certificate – contrary to usual practice for most infections of this kind. There is a big difference between Covid-19 causing death, and Covid-19 being found in someone who died of other causes. Making Covid-19 notifiable might give the appearance of it causing increasing numbers of deaths, whether this is true or not. It might appear far more of a killer than flu, simply because of the way deaths are recorded." https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/The-evidence-on-Covid-19-is-not-as-clear-as- | | | |
