Can't see this being discussed anywhere else....
It seems that the UK death rate has been revised down by some 12% now they've removed the deaths of people who had positive Covid tests more than 28 days before.
Interestingly as well, in the last week they have recalculated (week ending July 24th) the death rates fell by 75% compared to 4heir initial calculation. So basically by now we're down in pretty much single figures each day.
What a farce. Why did the government try to exaggerate the deaths? (no conspiracy theories please)

Coronavirus: England death count review reduces UK toll by 5,000
Deaths recorded in England had included people who tested positive months before they died.

A review of how deaths from coronavirus are counted in England has reduced the UK death toll by more than 5,000, to 41,329, the government has announced.
The recalculation is based on a new definition of who has died from Covid.
Previously, people in England who died at any point following a positive test, regardless of cause, were counted in the figures.
But there will now be a cut-off of 28 days, providing a more accurate picture of the epidemic.
