The government has paused announcing daily death toll figures from coronavirus - amid concerns over their accuracy .
A review has been launched after experts said the number of fatalities could be over-exaggerated - but the move had been branded `` odd '' .
Academics have said the way that Public Health England ( PHE ) calculates the data means they might look worse there than in Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland .
But there is unlikely to have been a `` massive distortion '' , a member of the Independent Sage group said .
In a statement , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said : `` The Secretary of State has today , 17 July , asked PHE to urgently review their estimation of daily death statistics .
`` Currently the daily deaths measure counts all people who have tested positive for coronavirus and since died , with no cut-off between time of testing and date of death .
`` There have been claims that the lack of cut-off may distort the current daily deaths number .
`` We are therefore pausing the publication of the daily figure while this is resolved . ''
England 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has ever tested positive for Covid-19 - regardless of whether they died for another reason .
An insider told the Evening Standard : A source said : “ It turns out you could have been tested positive in February , recovered , then hit by a bus in July and you ’ d be recorded as a covid death.
” However , the number of excess deaths - referring to this year 's number of deaths compared to the recent years - is still 65,000 more than the five year average .
Britain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the virus , with an official death toll of more 45,000 .
But the government has said international comparisons are misleading because countries record coronavirus deaths differently .
Health Secretary Matt Hancock yesterday ordered a review into the PHE 's reporting after the academics said patients who tested positive for coronavirus , but were successfully treated , would still be counted as dying from the virus .
Prof Carl Heneghan from the University of Oxford , told the BBC : `` By this PHE definition , no one with Covid in England @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illness .
`` We need correct and accurate statistics so we can really understand the trend - otherwise it 's very difficult to know what 's going on . ''
Dr Susan Hopkins , PHE 's incident director , said : `` Although it may seem straightforward , there is no World Health Organisation agreed method of counting deaths from Covid-19 .
`` In England , we count all those that have died who had a positive Covid-19 test at any point , to ensure our data is as complete as possible .

`` Whilst this knowledge is growing , now is the right time to review how deaths are calculated . ''
Christina Pagel , a mathematician and professor of operational research at University College London ( UCL ) and a member of the Independent Sage group , said the way PHE calculates data could become an issue as time goes on but she did not believe there had been a `` massive distortion '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hancock to suddenly be launching a massive inquiry is odd .
`` The Department of Health website says quite clearly how each country is doing its death calculations , so it should n't be a surprise to him .

Experts are worried that Public Health England is overstating the number of deaths each day, prompting a review of the way figures are compiled
The government has paused announcing daily death toll figures from coronavirus - amid concerns over their accuracy.
A review has been launched after experts said the number of fatalities could be over-exaggerated - but the move had been branded "odd".
Academics have said the way that Public Health England(PHE) calculates the data means they might look worse there than in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
But there is unlikely to have been a "massive distortion", a member of the Independent Sage group said.
In a statement, the Department for Health and Social Care said: "The Secretary of State has today, 17 July, asked PHE to urgently review their estimation of daily death statistics.
"Currently the daily deaths measure counts all people who have tested positive for coronavirus and since died, with no cut-off between time of testing and date of death.

"There have been claims that the lack of cut-off may distort the current daily deaths number.
"We are therefore pausing the publication of the daily figure while this is resolved."
Yesterday a further 114 deaths were announced.
England's figures are understood to include anyone who has ever tested positive for Covid-19 - regardless of whether they died for another reason.

The Gunners legend believes Mikel Arteta should focus on building a new spine - naming centre-back, central midfield and a centre forward as the priority areas for recruitment
Paul Merson has called on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta to recruit players in three positions in the summer transfer window, also identifying a Manchester City star the Gunners should target.
Arsenal have been plagued by inconsistency this season, first under Unai Emery and then his successor Arteta, and find themselves ninth in the table.
Their turbulent campaign has been summed up with recent results in which they beat Premier League champions Liverpool but fell to defeat against local rivals Tottenham and were held to a draw by Leicester.
And with his former side three points off the European places with just two games remaining, Merson believes Arteta needs to focus his summer recruitment on building a new spine which includes City defender John Stones.

"Arsenal need a centre-back, a central midfielder and another striker. The whole spine of the team really," Merson told the Daily Star .
"And I think he might go for John Stones at Manchester City. Pep Guardiola doesn’t seem to trust him, and Arteta has worked with him before.
"Arsenal need an out and out defender, not another David Luiz who knows how to play the ball out from the back but makes a lot of mistakes.
"But Stones is English, young enough to improve, and Arteta will know all about him and know he fits into the system."
Arsenal's best hope of securing European qualification for next season is via the FA Cup, with the winners of the tournament entering the Europa League group stages.
And although the Gunners have reached the semi-finals, Merson believes they will fall short against holders Manchester City on Saturday evening.
He added: "I expect City to win. Arsenal have a chance because it’s a one-off game and anything can happen. If they defend like they did against Liverpool it could get interesting.
"But that’s the thing with Arsenal, you can’t rely on them to play with any consistency and they would have to get massively lucky to get to the final.

Bukayo Saka has emerged as one of Arsenal ’ s stars of the future .

He has since been moved back to his more natural advanced role under Mikel Arteta and appears destined for the top .

But former academy manager Andries Jonker has revealed they had some doubts over his technical ability .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in his age group , some felt those attributes perhaps masked some shortcomings .
Those doubts have quickly been dispelled , however , with the help of Ljungberg ’ s decision to introduce him to the first-team .
“ He was a left winger , always long , tall and strong and could run faster than his team-mates or the opponents , shoot harder than them .
“ It was such a physical advantage that we questioned whether he was that good .
Because of his physical advantage , it was easy to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ player technically .
“ Then Freddie Ljungberg made him a full-back , and he did it and showed how good he really is.
” Jonker also revealed how Eddie Nketiah was almost released by the club before they decided to give him a chance to prove himself .
“ Nketiah was a different story , it wasn ’ t so easy to see .
“ He was working hard and in fact there was a discussion in the staff about whether or not to give him a scholarship .
`` His mentality was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ give him a chance as a scholar , but he had to go a long way .
“ I always told him , ‘ believe in yourself .
If you don ’ t believe in yourself , no-one will believe in you at Arsenal ’ .

With a huge physical advantage over many in his age group, some felt those attributes perhaps masked some shortcomings.

Those doubts have quickly been dispelled, however, with the help of Ljungberg’s decision to introduce him to the first-team.
“Bukayo was another story,” Jonker told Mirror Football.
“He was a left winger, always long, tall and strong and could run faster than his team-mates or the opponents, shoot harder than them.
“It was such a physical advantage that we questioned whether he was that good. Because of his physical advantage, it was easy to doubt whether he was really a good player technically.

“Then Freddie Ljungberg made him a full-back, and he did it and showed how good he really is.”
Jonker also revealed how Eddie Nketiah was almost released by the club before they decided to give him a chance to prove himself.
“Nketiah was a different story, it wasn’t so easy to see.
“He was working hard and in fact there was a discussion in the staff about whether or not to give him a scholarship.
"His mentality was the thing that made us decide to give him a chance as a scholar, but he had to go a long way.
“I always told him, ‘believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, no-one will believe in you at Arsenal ’.
“Now he has made it from a not so remarkable youth player to a first-team player which is not an easy thing to do.
“It’s another example of how the fact that it’s almost impossible to be sure about young players - are they going to make it or not?
“Eddie proved the opposite, and although many people had big doubt he did it all the way.”

When it comes to picking a name for your child , not everyone is going to be a fan of your choice .

It was her husband 's sibling who made these comments and they also happened to share their thoughts about the name online in more detail .
In a post on Reddit , the unnamed sibling revealed what their brother @ @ @ @ @ @ @ baby and asked if they were in the wrong for telling their relatives how much they disliked the choice .
Taking to Reddit 's Am I The A**hole forum , the person wrote : `` Last weekend I joined a family Zoom call where my brother and SIL wanted to announce their new baby ’ s name after spending nearly a month brainstorming .

`` Apparently my SIL was reading @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and pointed at a word on the page , hoping to find a possible name .
That word was alibi .
She said she forgot about it until she kept seeing/hearing that word pop up days after in different ways , in newspapers , on TV , on posters and on radio , etc .
She then had a dream where her baby spoke to her and told her its name was Alibi .
`` She said it sounded 'beautiful , exotic , mysterious and unique ' .
They also said the name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( e.g .
no shortening to normal nicknames ) because it would take away from the uniqueness . ''
The sibling went on to admit they were so stunned by all of this , they blurted out : `` That is literally the worst name I ’ ve ever heard .

This comment upset the sister-in-law and now the brother is expecting his relative to apologise and say they 've changed their mind about the name .
