It's a simple enough question.
If the answer is no, then he is correct.

He is indeed correct, however it’s broadly irrelevant unless the death figures over the next 3 days or so collapse significantly (reflecting in part those who did die today). While some deaths will take longer to get reported the vast majority will be in by then.
In reality no such change will take place and broadly around 500 people a day are dying. Which I’m sure is the
intent of the post he is replying to.
I fully expect someone to be along shortly to clutch at the straw they could have been hit by a bus within 28 days of a positive covid test. Yes, they could, but I’m not aware of deaths involving buses to be statistically significant.
