The media should be clearer on this.

Of the reported 711 NHS England fatalities yesterday, only 105 were from the previous day.

Many were from weeks ago.

Using accurate and current data shows a much more encouraging picture - NHS England produce the graph every day!

The number for Friday will increase from 105 over the next few days.

So the figure announced today will also include some Friday data.

NHS England is the best resource on this-
