Delay in today's numbers

[TheReelSlimShady]

Unless I'm being really stupid, it doesn't look like the numbers have been updated for today, it still says 24th March

Not seen any reasons as to why they are delayed?

Scottish Gov's ones at 2pm were about 20 minutes late. Give them a few minutes.

I wonder if someone key has passed as part of that figure.

I've had the news on half the day waiting to see todays figures. It's never been this late before.

Worldometer doesn't have a figure for 25th March for UK.

worldometer also shows 'only' 187 (we had about 1.5k yesterday).

I think they either still scumble the numbers together, the numbers are dire or we ran out of testing kits. I cannot imagine (as much as I would wish) that these figures on the worldometer are right.

Sky seems to have figures and says the dashboard will be updated “later”:

I was just wondering the same thing. Worldometer has 187 new cases filor UK, but that doesn't include England. Worldometer usually puts them on around 5ish.

Oh, re-reading that it just says it’ll be updated later on Wednesday; the figure is for Tuesday. Apologies!

Only Wales, Scotland and NI have released their numbers today. Still waiting on England...

@ShellsAndSunrises those figures don't include England yet

@LalalalalaLlama Worldometer has not updated figures for the UK today because they don't have them, as they haven't been released.

I think it means that they must be really bad .

Very weird they have not been released. It can’t be that hard?

I was just looking for them, glad I checked this thread

I think it means that they must be really bad

Or freakishly low and they don't want people refusing to stay home after them.

Chances are it’s purely a reporting issue. It was much easier when it was just a few trusts reporting numbers but they’re now collating them from many different trusts. If there are IT problems in a few areas it could delay it all.

The Worldometers site just has Wales and NI cases, I think? 150 cases in Wales today, 37 in NI. They have added the Scottish deaths but not the new cases (+135).

So without England we are already up to +322.

Was wondering what was going.

They have never been this late before. I don't know if it's concerning, or they just haven't been signed off yet, maybe if there is a late meeting going on (which would also be concerning!)

Or freakishly low

looking how the numbers went up in the last days in the UK and everywhere in Europe, I cannot imagine that to be the case...

hopefully just a reporting issue.

I’ve been waiting since 5’ish for the England figures too. Maybe late because the stats have changed to include young people without underlying conditions and they don’t know how to report that without panicking people? Although we already know this is happening now.

Or freakishly low

I’d be surprised, given the increase in cases.

in what way have stats changed? You either have it or not. can you explain? thanks

Judging by my work today

They're going to be very high. Unless we are a massive hotspot outside of London.
