I've been following this view recently
In short it is changing the interpretation of '1500 daily deaths' from being 'there were 1500 deaths yesterday' (which is how it comes across) to 'here is the date of death for the 1500 new deaths attributed to covid in the last 28 days'
It looks like it has now plateaued (looking around 11th - 14th) which is positive. Maybe I live in false hope but I really believe we are on the way out of this shit show now.
The vaccine programme is running well and will only get better as more centres open. I think tricks are being missed where we could be utilising industries that are challenged at the moment e.g. private hire cabs/taxis. One limiting factor in many risk groups getting the jab is ability to get there - why don't we use some of the bottomless pit of covid money to keep these taxi drivers afloat whilst transporting people in need to and from their vaccines.

Because all numbers are managed by the govt.. 2k that day? Too high.. hold some back for the weekend reporting..Excuse my ignorance, if this is the case, and it's not actually 1500 deaths in a single day, why are they putting out this figure in this manner? The vast majority will just see this number and assume it's deaths on that day without looking too much into it. Surely they'd want to show signs of recovery and signs that things are getting back on track.
Unless they want to stoke fear and hysteria for some reason...

I guess there is no easy way for them to say '1500 new deaths - but spread across 12+ days, with different amounts on each.. on top of those spread across each day from yesterday' etc.
I'm surprised they don't seem to have explained this though.
But by that logic then the next day it where for e.g. the number could be 1000 so that could also include previous 12 days so each day if actually split out properly could on average over 1000. Guess that’s why using weekly rolling average makes more sense.
However, I don’t pay much attention to the daily numbers because it’s obvious the whole thing is not that real time, dynamic or particularly sophisticated data collection/reporting wise despite how clever they might have initially sold it as.
See the Israelis are saying that one dose of the Pfizer vaccine gives about 33% immunity, not the 52% claimed in the literature. Looking forward to all the new variants we make while we're waiting twelve weeks for the second dose
Cause of death being respiratory failure related would surely be a happy medium ? Was said dead person on a respirator within x days of death etc although I suppose you could just track covid deaths within 28 days of testing positive against the year on year death figures for anyone one period and end up with an accurate enough figure, even nationally?Well it used to be anyone who tested positive anytime so that got conspiracy theorists saying you could get hit by a car and it'd be put down as a covid death but there was the other side of the debate saying that covid so weakened vulnerable people that they might die a few months later so 28 days was chosen as a not so happy medium that now noone is happy and I'm having to type this
Agreed - 'today''s number will go up say 20% tomorrow, 15% the day after, 10% the day after etc. But looking at the bars that are now only having a tiny addition each day, the pattern looks to have plateau'd (which was my only real comment)
