Something doesn& #39;t add up here. See if you can spot it...

Scotland:
People in hospital: 267
Cases (last 30 days): 687
Population: 5,463,300

England:
People in hospital: 647
Cases (last 30 days): 20,117
Population: 56,286,961

Data sources: Scot/England Dashboards, (August 10th)
For those wondering, my *suspicion* is that this explains it. I don& #39;t have evidence...but I& #39;ll try to expand on what I& #39;m seeing in the data and hearing anecodtally https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten"> https://twitter.com/MillyMia8/status/1293164158771441664">https://twitter.com/MillyMia8...
I& #39;m hearing a lot of people in England are getting the "manage at home" message, with people being & #39;cared for& #39; 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& #39;s only anecodtal evidence for it, but *something* is definitely happening with English hospital admissions!

This is such a good question I& #39;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">https://twitter.com/FarleyDav...
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& #39;t speaking with their GPs. They& #39;re not calling ambulances. They& #39;re calling a call centre https://twitter.com/NiddrieLass/status/1293204489932079104">https://twitter.com/NiddrieLa...
So, I& #39;ve been researching the & #39;shadow health service& #39; that I& #39;ve been hearing about and...I kid you not...it& #39;s crude flowcharts, delivered by call centre workers, who& #39;ve been trained to dispassionately decide who lives and who dies based on their answers https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten"> https://digital.nhs.uk/services/nhs-pathways">https://digital.nhs.uk/services/...
*THIS* is a result of "call handlers", asking questions and following flow charts..

They& #39;re not trained clinicians, they& #39;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">https://twitter.com/PsyberAtt...
And *THIS* is where that leads.... https://twitter.com/PsyberAttack/status/1289943055387303937">https://twitter.com/PsyberAtt...
