Britain has recorded more than 40,000 deaths linked to coronavirus, making it the first country in Europe to reach the threshold.
Mortalities are leveling off as the countries move past the peak of the pandemic, with England and Wales reporting a decrease in the number of deaths involving the virus on the previous week.
Almost 43,000 fatalities mentioned covid-19 on the death certificate through May 16, according to the latest data registered with national statistics offices. It had stood at almost 38,300 a week earlier.
The government is facing calls to be more open about its strategy to combat covid-19, with some lawmakers calling for the publication of the scientific advice behind Britain’s response to the virus.
Methods of reporting deaths vary, with Italy, for example, only registering deaths confirmed by a diagnostic test.

Don’t believe the numbers. They are probably labeling deaths covid that have nothing to do with it. This has happened all over the world and especially in places where numbers are high.
Quite a bit of the invisible enemy coronavirused in Britain. White Hats doing a good job there. WOW!
40,000 executed, wowee. How many arrested?
You people are terrible. I don’t know what conspiracy theory rubbish you’re brainwashed with. You’re babbling gibberish.
