I suppose it can be argued that it doesnt matter as long as the number is presented in a consistent way. 1,610 new deaths did happen, after all.
I suspect they use the "date reported" number because the "date of death" number always lags behind by anything up to a week. 1,000 died last Tuesday doesn't have the same effect as 1,610 deaths reported today I guess.
