British Government Stops Properly Reporting How Many COVID-19 Patients Are Admitted to Hospital and Die (as Winter Approaches and Numbers Already Go Up)
Filed under: If you don’t have the figures from Scotland, then you can only ever compare apples to oranges:
No further update to hospital admissions in Scotland and UK
Public Health Scotland have changed the definition of patients admitted to hospital and are no longer reporting admissions using the existing definition. The new measure is intended to reflect “community-acquired” COVID-19 and therefore is not comparable to the measures in use in the other three nations, so has not been included in dashboard reporting. Therefore the latest data for hospital admissions in Scotland is 11 September 2022. UK and Scotland hospital admissions will no longer be updated beyond that date. Data for England, Wales and Northern Ireland will continue to be added weekly.
Weekly deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate do not include data from Scotland
Deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate registered in the week ending 09 September 2022 are not available for Scotland. The UK total number includes England, Northern Ireland and Wales only. Numbers for Scotland will be included in next week’s release, and the UK total will be updated to include them.
Problem solved! No data, no problems! The numbers thus ‘go down’…
