It's ANY death within 28 days of a positive test, they could have died from anything but it still counts towards the total, that is the wording on the governments own website.

Not the entire truth though.

there is ONE count which is any death within 28 days of a positive test. This was done to simplify daily numbers and bring us in line with how other countries reported deaths.

this 28 days was based on data that found the large majority of people who died from covid did so within 28 days, there are quite a few who day between day 29 and 60 but also some people who coincidentally contract covid and die because of the hypothetical bus or other obviously unrelated condition.

for the sake of getting a daily update it’s fairly accurate and misses more actual covid deaths than including non-covid ones

This is easily evidenced by the fact that of thr 3 counters, 28 day, death certificate and excess deaths - the 28 day count is (or was last time I had to correct someone on this) is the lowest of the three.

it’s a piss poor argument to talk about the very tiny amount of people who are included in the daily figures (but not the official death certificate records) who didn’t die of covid to try and pretend the numbers are largely wrong and over-counted. The truth is, the daily count is under 145k vs 169k and you’ll find that on the deaths page on that very government website
