Quote:

Previously, people in England who died at any point following a positive
test, regardless of cause, were counted in the figures.

But there will now be a cut-off of 28 days, providing a more accurate
picture of the epidemic.

The new methodology for counting deaths means the total number of people in
the UK who have died from Covid-19 comes down from 46,706 to

41,329 - a reduction of 12%.

...

>.They now say the new count will give "crucial information about both
recent trends and the overall mortality burden due to Covid-19".

Translation - Look at the state the economy is in! We'd better get everyone
back to work, so tell them that it's not as bad as we thought!

_______________________________________________

BillK, the change in methodology took UK from number 3 to number 6.  Belgium
is still saying these numbers are counted differently because they included
a bunch of fatalities with flu-like symptoms that might not have been covid.
There are two small countries which are questionable because of small
numbers and uncertainty in counting:

Using trend analysis, we can predict that Brazil will bump USA down to
number 11 about a week from now, however both will bump Sweden down about a
coupla weeks after that.

New York and New Jersey will stay waaaaay the hell on top of the chart if we
break it down by jurisdiction.  If done that way, eight US states will hold
positions 1 thru 8 with few challengers, unless other countries break down
their statistics by jurisdiction as well.  In order of ignominy:  Louisiana,
Arizona, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Mississippi, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts all have higher fatalities per capita than San Marino.  San
Marino?  How the heck do they figure that isn't part of Italy?  And why
isn't Andorra considered part of France or Spain?  These little guys are
messing up our data.
