For those wondering, my *suspicion* is that this explains it. I don't have evidence...but I'll try to expand on what I'm seeing in the data and hearing anecodtally

I'm hearing a lot of people in England are getting the "manage at home" message, with people being 'cared for' by a shadow health service, which sends them blood/oxygen monitors and acts as their point of contact
The Excess Deaths for England and Wales also tell a story...

If you look at that tail of people dying at home, it almost exactly matches when UK government changed the "Coronavirus Triage" system
That is speculative, and there's only anecodtal evidence for it, but *something* is definitely happening with English hospital admissions!

This is such a good question I'm adding it to the main thread...
In theory, these people will all have a positive test and should appear in the PHE death figures...which *might* explain [some of] the large disparity between PHE and NHS reported deaths https://twitter.com/FarleyDavenport/status/1293179649669783555

This is another anecdote, but it fits the pattern I keep hearing...
The instruction is always to ride it out, and if it gets *really* bad then call 111
People aren't speaking with their GPs. They're not calling ambulances. They're calling a call centre https://twitter.com/NiddrieLass/status/1293204489932079104

So, I've been researching the 'shadow health service' that I've been hearing about and...I kid you not...it's crude flowcharts, delivered by call centre workers, who've been trained to dispassionately decide who lives and who dies based on their answers https://digital.nhs.uk/services/nhs-pathways

*THIS* is a result of "call handlers", asking questions and following flow charts..
They're not trained clinicians, they're call cente workers, following flow charts, who decide if you get an ambulance or if they direct you to the NHS coronavirus website https://twitter.com/PsyberAttack/status/1293151717803143170
