7 Aug: Metro UK: Nearly 4,200 deaths could be wiped from official statistics due to counting error
by Edna Mohamed
Around 10% of coronavirus deaths recorded in England – almost 4,200 – could be wiped from official records due to an error in counting, a review has found.
Last month, Health Secretary Matt Hancock ordered a review into the way the daily death count was calculated in England citing a possible ‘statistical flaw’.
Academics found that Public Health England’s statistics included everyone who had died after testing positive – even if the death occurred naturally or in a freak accident, and after the person had recovered from the virus...
Numbers will now be reconfigured, counting deaths if a person died within 28 days of testing positive much like Scotland and Northern Ireland...
Professor Heneghan, director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University, who first noticed the error, told the Sun: ‘It is a sensible decision. There is no point attributing deaths to Covid-19 28 days after infection...

25 Jun: NY Post: NY Republicans call on Letitia James to probe Cuomo’s nursing home order
By Bernadette Hogan
ALBANY — House Republicans are turning up the heat on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s controversial coronavirus nursing home policy, calling on Democratic state Attorney General Letitia James to back an independent investigation of the matter, The Post has learned.
The five Republicans on the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis signed and sent a letter to James — along with separate, similar letters to the state attorneys general of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and California — demanding investigations into their respective governors’ handling of the deadly virus in nursing homes...
“The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected the elderly, especially those living in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. On April 23, 2020, in coordination with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Department of Health, you announced a statewide investigation of nursing homes during the ongoing Pandemic,” wrote ranking subcommittee member Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana.
The signers also included New York’s GOP delegation, the Empire State’s own Reps. Elise Stefanik, Tom Reed, Peter King, John Katko and Lee Zelden in a joint letter to James Thursday...
“We understand that your investigation will not cover the Governor’s March 25, 2020 directive on ‘Hospital Discharges and Admissions to Nursing Homes,’ which recklessly reintroduced the disease into the most vulnerable population. Therefore, we write requesting that you formally review the impact of this deadly policy and make your findings available to the citizens of New York and families of those who lost loved ones as a result of this deadly policy,” they added.
They also want copies of all communications between Cuomo and James’ office dating back to Jan. 1, 2020 about nursing homes, setting a formal response deadline of next Thursday, July 2.
The letters follow last week’s request by the Republican committee members for state-specific nursing home data and briefings from the five Democratic governors.
New York was the only state that refused to respond...
