Anyone know the daily death rate from coronavirus recently?

This was announced on the news every day for months but now I'm unable to find what it is.

Yesterday (Saturday) was 148 I think - up on last Saturday.
I find it odd how hidden the figures are now.

Yes, 148 across the uk of which 147 were in England.

They’re not hidden they’re all published here and you can filter by local authority and region: coronavirus-staging.data.gov.uk/

Though I do doubt people would know where to look!

The info is posted daily here

They arent hidden they are here everyday!

Thanks @Chocolategirl79. I know it's odd considering how much emphasis on the number there was previously. Any idea how many of those deaths were in hospital settings?

They're really not, I have this

Saved in my phone, worldwide figures are published daily.

They’re not hidden, but they’re not published in an easily digestible, image-based format either. Which they used to be.

The statistics are far, far better now - you can actually find out the deaths per day of death rather than day of reporting which obviously is more useful. Here’s the link to England deaths (all settings) by date of death

coronavirus-staging.data.gov.uk/deaths?areaType=nation&areaName=England

You can find the same information there for cases by date of specimen not date of reporting too. Interesting to compare to the headline figures which are mostly historical. Obviously the most recent days’ numbers will increase due to the reporting lag but the numbers are far more meaningful now. Also numbers by nation, region & LA.

coronavirus-staging.data.gov.uk/

Hospital only numbers (England) are released at two each day, I believe yesterday’s was 22. There will be a handful from the other nations too. You can find them here

I've also noticed that the news has stopped sharing the figures, particularly new cases which have gone up. Maybe I'm a little pessimistic but I feel like the government is so focussed on getting the economy up and running again (hence the latest restrictions being mainly economy related rather than social), that they want people to get out and have some normality back and that if they reported the figures in the same way they had been doing people wouldn't go out

cathyandclare · 13/07/2020 08:24

The deaths are down, the admissions are down, and the number of cases are flat. There will be periodic rises in case numbers as they send units to do door-to-door testing in places with clusters like Hereford, Kirklees and Leicester- but the overall picture is better than it was, despite loosening of lockdown. Obviously it's early days but our figures are similar to other European nations when they decreased restrictions

Don't quote me as an expert, but is it not very likely that cases have gone up as they've been blanket testing people in the workplaces/areas where there is a flare up, meaning they are catching the asymptomatic people who wouldn't have even suspected they had it, let alone gone for a test?
