BBC reporting high rates in France, forgetting to mention in UK it's hospital admissions only (care homes not counted)pic.twitter.com/gzKMtZFdUl

They don't test in care homes and apparently care home deaths have been written as pneumonia . Over 60 no ventilators so no point testing . I don't think you even get to hospital from care homes .

ONS are publishing non-hospital death figures every Tuesday. But from the first such, last week, they look to be a least a week old.

Are these included in the daily totals? If so, presumably they will be added today.

The daily figures we see are only those who died in hospital and who tested positive for Covid-19. (I've seen several anecdotal reports that friends or family members died from Covid like symptoms but weren't tested, so even the hospital deaths might be under reported.)

Yes, I've heard the same. Are the ONS figures added to the cumilative total - where can we find them?

The total is still only hospital deaths. Last Tuesday I heard (on R4 news) an ONS figure of 40 non-hospital deaths, but that was up to only about 20 March, so might be credible. The following day I tried to find a report on it, but failed.

The ONS explain there are counting challenges though - they explain there are different answers from different data sources in a way Govt doesn’t for NHS only covid deaths https://blog.ons.gov.uk/2020/03/31/counting-deaths-involving-the-coronavirus-covid-19/ …pic.twitter.com/3yz5c3shJn

Yes, the care taken by ONS to explain limits on their data contrasts with DHSC often failing to say what's happening e.g. when they published the remarkably low figure of 43 deaths on 25 March, without mentioning that this was only for 8 hours as they changed the counting period.

Exactly - it’s statistical professionals vs amateurs using any random data to justify their actions
