Yes - looks like they are moving to shift the 24 hour priod back from 1pm for deaths

I assume the next number that comes out will be inflated by the missing 4 hours from yesterday's figures then it should even out and will provide a clearer picture.

However, unless they are massively manipulating it, the numbers have pulled back from where they were headed 4 days ago. Does not mean they won't get a lot higher over the next 2 weeks but hopefully we won't be hitting Italy/Spain levels of 700-800 per day.

What clearly needs to be avoided is any particular city or hospital simply not being able to cope and that will presumably lead to people who could potentially have been treated not making it.
