I take the opposite view: the data may be inaccurate in terms of just how far this banana republic of ours lags behind, but there's a lag. The reason for withholding full data tells its own story, and I fail to see how highlighting that lag now will undermine any inquiry into their catastrophic handling of this crisis.
Coronavirus: Michael Gove given special permission to test daughter with COVID-19 symptoms
A source close to the Cabinet Office minister says he "has followed the relevant advice and guidance at every stage".

Infuriating.
You'd have thought that he'd just do the self-isolation thing regardless as an example to the public, but no, of course not, he gets a test on demand while everyone else doesn't.
And early doors wasted time listening to the 'herd immunity' rubbish.

How do they expec to the country to take seriously the massive campaign to stay in and helo the NHS when they see the people issuing the demand flouting it by queue jumping?
They are an unspeakable bunch of scum.
The latest figures I have seen for recovery is 1918 – which equates to 2.28%, if based on the latest figure of 84,279. The figures are misleading though. As the recovery figures are not being released with any consistency. The latest release I seen was 8 April.
I have a question though – How many new cases can actually recover? Are coronavirus deaths being counted with the new cases (as well as the deaths), if they are tested post mortem?
If not…
I would measure the recovery figures against confirmed cases from 14 days prior to the current day. I am not sure how long it would take to actually recover from this, but a guess would be maybe 21 days? If we supposed that on average, each patient tested already had the virus 7 days, then it would mean 1918 total recoveries on 8 April vs 11,809 confirmed cases on 26 March. This would give us 16.24% recovery figure. This is not an exact science – just estimating really.
The whole thing is a complete mess. I believe deliberately so.

Smacks of a two tier testing regime now, the have's and the have not's. That test should have went to a front line care worker. Why make rules for everyone and just break them, because you can, does not set any example whatsoever.

His snotty daughter had a sore throat and he jumped the queue to get one for her while a frontline nurse or doctor are requiring one to make sure they;re not infecting others in the act of trying to save them.
That's the system some people think is worth saving.

There'll be things left in and left out of the calculations from other nations, but they are at least trying to keep track of it. This lot, as you rightly say, are leaving it as an unfathomable mess...for their own ends. Their stock in trade is not to illuminate and protect us, it's to brush things under the carpet in order to cover up the scene of a mass murder.
It seems to be only us and Netherlands that aren't updating the recovered figures. Not really sure why that is. But yeah - It is an unfathomable mess. The numbers just don't add up.

The only reason he's had to come clean is because he was spotted jogging while he should of been on a 14 day quarantine
We would never have known otherwise, but I wonder how many more of the cabinet and 'elites' have jumped the queue for themselves or family members
Despicable bunch
If anyone's interested, there's a petition here

Petition: Hold a Public Inquiry into the handling of the Covid-19 crisis
The Government should hold a Public Inquiry to Confirm what decisions were made around preventing the spread of the coronavirus and protection of the UK population, and how this was balanced with the level of health care services available and effects on the economy.
