Continue to publish coronavirus death statistics.
We would like the government to continue with daily releases of all UK recorded coronavirus deaths.
The Health Secretary is pausing the daily release of covid-19 death statistics due to alleged information provided by un-named 'researchers' that the figures may be inflated. There is far more information available which states that the government figures are understated. Many of us rely on these figures to track the general rate of transmission to form a projected growth curve. The government promised total transparency and this recent move to hide information seems at odds with that promise.
