Thousands of coronavirus deaths ‘will be wiped off the government’s official toll’ after urgent review into counting fiasco that meant no-one in England could EVER recover
Thousands of coronavirus deaths are going to be wiped from the government’s official count, it was claimed today.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock last month ordered an urgent review into how daily death counts are calculated in England because of a ‘statistical flaw’.
Academics found a glitch that meant ministers counted victims as anyone who died after ever testing positive for Covid-19 — even if they were hit by a bus after beating the disease months later.
