“Confirmed case data is missing thousands of LFT results, leading to massive under-reporting.”

Over the past few weeks, the UK government’s confirmed cases data has begun to move further away from ZOE’s findings. There are a number of reasons for this. The biggest factor is the change in testing behaviour that has happened this year. ZOE Contributors are now logging more positive LFTs in the app, and fewer PCRs. 

LFTs no longer have to be confirmed by a PCR so are often not being logged with the government, so confirmed case data is missing thousands of LFT results, leading to massive under-reporting.

UK Covid App ZOE: UK back to 200,000 cases a day

 

 

The UK is still seeing nearly 2,000 Covid deaths a week, a sure sign that the official infection figures are inaccurate:

 

The official Covid infection figure for the UK on the 5th February 2022 is just 60,578. The UK government has shown for months that dishonesty courses through its veins, from the very top downwards, so it’s no surprise that it should resort to fiddling its Covid figures too. You can see the complete disconnect from reality in their official charts, which are shown below.
