This isn't as big a deal as some people seem to think. Most people were not using the daily updates because the problems are well known. There's lags in the data (especially around weekends and public holidays), the data can't be compared across the UK, and this data (even with this method) tends to under count deaths. It's a mistake to think it has lead to an over count of deaths. Most people are using the weekly ONS data instead.
