I think to be fair you are right on what was announced but when the figures are allocated correctly to the dates that was the figure for the worst day... so far of course.
Going to the pub on Saturday?

Ok thanks, I think the care home stats were added after the fact.
Care homes is where the big tragedy struck, nearly half the deaths. The ‘protecting the NHS’ strategy has been proven to be a crock of....
We are learning more all the time, the delay in lockdown is almost irrelevant compared to the catastrophic decision taken to empty the wards of oldies without testing.

That's because you're thinking of the numbers announced at the daily briefings which, initially, didn't count deaths in care homes. The ONS adjusted for that (and other issues) later which revealed that for a week or so in April, the number of deaths exceeded 1000 per day.
Ha! Tiggers beat me to it.
See up thread
Cannot find the Covid thread but found this interesting on Twitter & largely contradicts what I said earlier re Care Homes

It’s pretty grim reading.

it’s a third of home testing kits not returned and 75% of home test and care home kits not returned according to the govt in today’s Times.

Where I live there might be tourists in the pub, so the risk of catching Coronavirus is a lot greater, the risk is simply not worth it. It just take one person to spread this virus, even if one recovers from this virus it will not be a complete recovery as proven by all the other survivors. I will wait when the second spike has fully washed out and maybe then consider mixing with the public in enclosed spaces.

'Not the government' is a safe bet with this lot in power.
Can’t argue with that

Your avatar suggests that you live in Cornwall. Not so many tourists this summer, I gather that the Cornish have reverted to being quietly, and sometimes very noisily, hostile to outsiders.

They did take it very seriously, one way system, one person allowed to bar at a time. Worked well on a damp Tuesday at 3.00. Wouldn’t want to go there on a Sunny Sunday lunchtime though

I think this may be one of the problems with "free" healthcare. Don't get me wrong, the UK NHS is a far superior model to the US monetize-the-suffering form of healthcare, but I do think it can lead people to undervalue the NHS's services. If they lived a year in the US they'd return to the UK with a renewed appreciation for the NHS.
