Public Health England admitted they had missed 15,841 cases from their tally - raising more fears about the test and trace system
An IT blunder meant thousands of Brits weren't told they had been exposed to coronavirus after health chiefs' Excel spreadsheet maxed out.
Public Health England admitted they had missed 15,841 cases from their tally.
While people were told they were positive, the cases took days to show up in official figures - and were only passed to contact-tracers by 1am on Saturday.
Today it has been revealed that the source of the error was not a complex data failure.
Instead the potentially deadly data loss between September 25 and October 2 appears to have happened because an Excel spreadsheet reached its maximum size.
Downing Street said it had launched an investigation into the error.
Quizzed about how many people might have been exposed, Boris Johnson said: "I can’t give you those figures.
"What I can say is all those people are obviously being contacted and the key thing is that everybody, whether in this group or generally, should self-isolate."
It's understood the glitch was caused by officials using an outdated Excel spreadsheet format which was not capable of displaying all the lines of data.
The data was 'Pillar 2' data, which is overseen by the Department of Health.
It has raised serious questions about the government's IT systems and their ability to handle the influx of data created by the test and trace system.

A spokesman for the Prime Minister said a effort was now underway to track down everyone effected.
"What they have been able to do is to put on a very significant number of additional shifts,” he said.
Individuals were being traced “as a matter of urgency”, he added.
The spokesman said the number of call attempts was being increased from 10 to 15 to ensure as many contacts as possible were traced.
The total number of lab-confirmed cases in the UK has now passed 500,000 since the outbreak began, according to the Government's dashboard.
PHE insisted every person who was tested initially received their test result as normal, with all those testing positive told to self-isolate.
But the people they came into contact with were not informed and a massive operation is now in in place to try and contact all the people potentially exposed to the virus.
But Test and Trace and PHE joint medical adviser Susan Hopkins admitted: "All outstanding cases were immediately transferred to the contact tracing system by 1am on 3 October.
"And a thorough public health risk assessment was undertaken to ensure outstanding cases were prioritised for contact tracing effectively."
The delay suggests cases were not referred for Test and Trace contact-tracing until Saturday, which is up to a week after some of those involved took a test.

Ms Coffey told Sky News "there was an IT failure in elements of checks that happened".
Michael Brodie, interim chief executive at PHE, said the "technical issue" was identified overnight on Friday October 2 in the data load process that transfers Covid-19 positive lab results into reporting dashboards.
"NHS Test and Trace and PHE have worked to quickly resolve the issue and transferred all outstanding cases immediately into the NHS Test and Trace contact tracing system," he said.
"I would like to thank contact tracing and health protection colleagues for their additional efforts over the weekend."


thedailymirror--2020-10-05--Donald Trump has found the secret ingredient to beating coronavirus

The 45th President of the United States of America has done something which has eluded every doctor and scientist on the planet .

The fact that most of his country is staying at home and James Bond just entered early retirement is , to judge from the astonishing medical recovery he has made in the first 4 days of a 20-day disease , entirely coincidental .

He only contracted Covid-19 because he wanted to share it with the American people, but they feel he's shared a little too much of it already
Donald Trump has found the secret ingredient to beating coronavirus - he's too stupid to notice how bad it is
The 45th President of the United States of America has done something which has eluded every doctor and scientist on the planet.
He's become the first old, fat, man in the world to beat coronavirus all by himself.
With just the power of his mind, he convinced doctors to declare him well, attracted cheering crowds, and has recorded videos proving that all that's changed is he's had to remove that penis-pretence of a tie.
Which just goes to show, you could make deep-sea submarines out of the uncrushable willpower generated by your average toddler.

Shame he's spent the past 4 years trying to deny all that to Americans, but hey-ho.
Trump's physical strength has been boosted by the great patriots gathered outside his hospital window, honking their horns and yelling crap at each other all night long, just as a sick 74-year-old whose continued existence their world-view relies on is trying to get some shut-eye.
That can be the only reason he needs something to help him sleep - he's just so enlivened by all the love being fired at him by people who last week thought covid was a hoax and this week are so incredibly happy he went to hospital because he's not ill.
Thoughts and prayers, as the Trumpkins have so often said, are all that's needed to fix major injury, be it bullet holes or the clotting of microscopic blood vessels all over your body.
And so it has proved to be, with the most important and well-protected human in the world probably suffering insomnia, vomiting, lung damage, breathing issues, and an immune response so bad they've had to shoot him up with two unproven medicines.
Still, at least he wasn't pictured being stretchered out of the White House, which has a fully-equipped medical unit entirely capable of delivering all the above care.
He walked out, waving, to a military hospital which has a little more equipment if things get worse, which they won't because he's getting better. He makes great decisions about his medical care.

thedailymirror--2020-10-06--DWTS' Anne Heche 'was fired from movie' due to Ellen DeGeneres relationship

Anne Heche has opened up about her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres while appearing on Dancing With The Stars .
The 51-year-old actress was talking to her dance partner Keo Mostepe in the US version of Strictly Come Dancing , when she reflected on the influence talk show host Ellen had on her life .
Anne was in a relationship with Ellen , 62 , for three years from 1997 and it had a profound effect on her view on life and the prejudices she would come up against .
Speaking on the ABC show , Anne said : `` My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the world , moved the needle for equal rights forward . ''
Anne recalled meeting Ellen and then how she helped her challenge those who viewed same-sex relationships in a negative way .
She continued : `` In 1997 , I met Ellen DeGeneres at the Vanity Fair party and that was the night that changed my life forever .
`` My movie premiere for Volcano , I had told them that I was taking Ellen as my date and I was told if I took Ellen I would lose my Fox @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what happened next .
She added : `` At that moment , she took my hand and said , ‘ Do what they say , ’ and I said , ‘ No thanks.
’ '' I took Ellen to the premiere and I was ushered out by security before the movie even ended and was told I was not allowed to go to my own after party for fear they would get pictures of me with a woman ... she was warning me , ‘ This is going to happen . '

ELLEN DEGENERES RETURNS TO HER SHOW AS SHE ADDRESSES 'TOXIC' CLAIMS IN POIGNANT MONOLOGUE
Dancing With The Stars contestant Anne Heche has opened up about her time with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and the 'life changing' effect she had on her
Anne Heche has opened up about her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres while appearing on Dancing With The Stars - claiming she lost a million dollar movie deal because of it.
The 51-year-old actress was talking to her dance partner Keo Mostepe in the US version of Strictly Come Dancing, when she reflected on the influence talk show host Ellen had on her life.
Anne was in a relationship with Ellen, 62, for three years from 1997 and it had a profound effect on her view on life and the prejudices she would come up against.
Speaking on the ABC show, Anne said: "My story is a story that created change in the world, moved the needle for equal rights forward."
Anne recalled meeting Ellen and then how she helped her challenge those who viewed same-sex relationships in a negative way.

She continued: "In 1997, I met Ellen DeGeneres at the Vanity Fair party and that was the night that changed my life forever.
"My movie premiere for Volcano, I had told them that I was taking Ellen as my date and I was told if I took Ellen I would lose my Fox contract."
Anne continued to say what happened next.
She added: "At that moment, she took my hand and said, ‘Do what they say,’ and I said, ‘No thanks.’
"I took Ellen to the premiere and I was ushered out by security before the movie even ended and was told I was not allowed to go to my own after party for fear they would get pictures of me with a woman... she was warning me, ‘This is going to happen.'"

Donald Trump has claimed he may be immune to Covid-19, in a deeply unhinged message broadcast minutes after he checked out of hospital.
The President was admitted on Friday, being treated for coronavirus with steroids, antibiotics and a string of cutting edge therapies - many of which are unavailable to regular Americans.
But he checked himself out of Walter Reed military hospital on Monday evening, staging an elaborate arrival at the White House.
Then, in a video filmed on the Blue Room balcony, the President claimed the virus, which has killed 210,000 Americans, is really nothing to worry about.
He suggested his apparently quick recovery from the disease could be because he is "immune" to it.

And he indicated he was aware of the risks of his return to the White House carrying the contagious and deadly disease, but said: "That's OK."
The Republican leader has faced fresh backlash for removing his mask when he returned to presidential residence and making light of the deadly disease.
William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, was quick to remind America of the power of the virus.

"This is a disease that is killing around a thousand people a day, has torpedoed the economy, put people out of work. This is a virus that should be both respected and feared," he said.
Democrats also weighed in. "This is a tragic failure of leadership," Democratic Senator Chris Coons tweeted.
Trump arrived home in a made-for-television spectacle in which he descended from his Marine One helicopter wearing a white surgical mask only to remove it as he posed, saluting and waving, on the mansion's South Portico.
Following the publication of President Trump's statement, his Democratic opponent Joe Biden simply tweeted: "Listen to the scientists."
Trump said: "I just left Walter Reed medical centre, and it's something really very special.
"The doctors, the nurses, the first responders. And I learned so much about coronavirus.
"And one thing that's for certain. Don't let it dominate you. Don't be afraid of it.

President Trump suggested he "had to" leave hospital, because he is a leader.
He said: "As a leader I had to do that. I know there's a danger to it, but I had to do it.
"I stood out front. I led. Nobody that's a leader would not do what I did.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday reported 7,396,730 cases of the new coronavirus, an increase of 36,778 from its previous count, and said that the number of deaths had risen by 378 to 209,199.
He left hospital to cheers from a group of supporters who'd gathered outside, among press, as he made his way to a motorcade.

Trump responded "Thank you very much" and gave the press a thumbs up before getting into a car to be taken a short distance to the aircraft.
He returns to a White House potentially still riddled with the deadly virus, which has already spread to a dozen members of his team.
Among them is press secretary Kayleigh McEnany who yesterday confirmed she had tested positive.
McEnany, who is at the forefront of the White House's often combative dealings with the media, held a briefing for reporters on Thursday in which she did not wear a face mask.
Chad Gilmartin and Karoline Leavitt, who work in the White House's press office, also have tested positive, according to a source.
Minutes prior to emerging from the hospital's main doors, he had tweeted "back on the campaign trail soon" and previously boasted about how he had survived the "plague [that] came in from China".
Trump has repeatedly flouted social-distancing guidelines meant to curb the virus' spread and ignored his own medical advisers.
He also mocked Biden at last Tuesday's presidential debate for wearing a mask at events, even when he is far from others.
Biden, who strictly adheres to social distancing and sports a mask in public, has so far tested negative for the virus.

Alex Telles was one of four new signings at Manchester United on deadline day in a mixed transfer window for Ed Woodward and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with Edinson Cavani also joining
Bruno Fernandes' message to new Man Utd team-mate Alex Telles ahead of transfer
Bruno Fernandes has welcomed Alex Telles as his new Manchester United team-mate after his arrival on deadline day.
Both players lined up against each other in the Primeira Liga last season for Sporting Lisbon and Porto.
But they now share the same dressing room after Telles signed for a fee of around £18m.
The Brazilian was made a top target by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has been impressed by his attacking output.
With Luke Shaw struggling with fitness and Brandon Williams inexperienced, the Norwegian was keen on another left-back.
Telles scored 11 times last season and was desperate for the move to United, forcing Porto to accept an offer.

And the ex-Inter Milan star has revealed what Fernandes told him about the Red Devils.
"I believe I’m going to meet a marvellous group," Telles told United’s official website.
"I’ve spoken to Bruno Fernandes and he’s said how welcoming the boys are. I believe I will settle very well into the group."
Telles is one of four signings on deadline day at Old Trafford, including Edinson Cavani, Amad Traore and Facundo Pellistri.
The most notable of those arrivals is Cavani, who saw his contract expire at Paris St-Germain this summer.
The Uruguay international joins with a wealth of experience at the age of 33 to provide Solskjaer with more attacking options.
However, after he was awarded the famous No. 7 jersey, it all but confirmed that a deal for Jadon Sancho had been called off.
United were saving the shirt for the England international but Borussia Dortmund had rebuffed their efforts.
Regardless, Solskjaer was over the moon to land Cavani as a result of his experience.
