Their figure from two days ago was unexpectedly low (439).
This is still well below the IHME prediction (1,433) from just a few days ago.

These are the models being used by the UK government.

By August the UK is projected to have recorded more Covid-19 deaths than Italy, Spain, France and Germany combined
US 81,766
UK 66,314
Italy 20,300
Spain 19,209
France 15,058
Germany 8,802

The point remains the same. Despite the 938 figure being a new high... all three of the last three days have come in below the model projections for that day.
Similar higher-but-below-projection deaths for the US (1970 yesterday) just caused a new revision to the IHME model. Bringing the projected August total down from that 81,766 to 60,415.
