Not as sure as you its under control - just read this - last sentence may be more relevant - England's coronavirus death toll rises by 429
The coronavirus death toll in England has risen by 429 to a total of 14,829 the national health service said.
Of the 429 new deaths announced today:
- 85 occurred on April 19
- 210 occurred on April 18
- 53 occurred on April 17
The figures also show 77 of the deaths took place between April 1 and April 16, and the remaining four deaths occurred in March, with the earliest new death taking place on March 21.
NHS England releases updated figures each day showing the dates of every coronavirus-related death in hospitals in England, often including previously uncounted deaths that took place several days or even weeks ago. This is because of the time it takes for deaths to be confirmed as testing positive for Covid-19, for post-mortem examinations to be processed, and for data from the tests to be validated.
The figures published today by NHS England show April 8 currently has the highest total for the most hospital deaths occurring on a single day - 803 - although this could change in future updates.
And this is only hospital deaths
