The reporting is not helping the public make sense of what's happening. You've got to hope that those in charge are getting better numbers

It's not that easy to understand but I'd assume those in charge are getting the same numbers.

The number reported each day is the increase in the total number who have died at any time, now identified and confirmed (as far as that is possible) as having died from COVID-19. At least that's how I interpret it.

There's a chart here which shows when people died: with an indication that the totals for the past 5 days are subject to change (upwards).

Up to the end of May at least I reckon.
Nearly 1,000 dead yesterday they can’t possibly even think about relaxing things.
I feel a bit sorry for the Police trying to sort out people this weekend who fancy a stroll out in a park or by the seaside etc
The economic damage being done is very bad and will take a long time to recover from.

BCG jabs mean you are six times less likely to get coronavirus.

Can't see any reference to Skype at the time? (Although I'm aware Downing Street subsequently issued a clarification/fabrication that he of course meant over Skype). Probably didn't mean he was still shaking hands with corona virus patients just a week or two earlier, either.
