1. Coroners told now not to record ANY deaths in care homes as Coronavirus unless “proved”
2. Many counties now accepting only tests as proof of COVID
3. Only few tests taking place in care homes
Result:
Some counties are now reporting ZERO Covid care home fatalities.

There’s now a growing evidence to prove that care home Coronavirus deaths are being systematically underreported in UK.
And that the deaths that are being reported are due to a “lottery” of local regulations/advice thus making it impossible to trace/examine virus spread.

I’m working on collating the different approaches to Coronavirus fatality reporting across UK.
If anyone from the various medical/county authorities wants to contact me on this feel free.
As always no source ever revealed (unless requested).

One thing to look out for is thus not just the number of “excess deaths” but “wild regional variations” in Coronavirus fatalities - particularly among care home residents.
From anecdotal information im gathering this is already now discernible.
