So, looking at what Whitty and Valence have presented I’m actually feeling a little bit sorry for the government. It was a terrible presentation that had a big IF but was presented as was inevitable.
I have gone back to the data and on July 4th the seven day rolling average was 583. The first doubling took 51 days (24/8), when we reached 1172. The second doubling to 2363, then took 9 days (02/09). The third doubling hasn’t happened yet 18 days later. It went up by 31% in 7 days (3084) and by 3% in the following 7 days (3183), which was 35% in 14 days.
Presenting the data in the way they did was poor and will allow the conspiracy theorists a field day.
They then compared us to France and Spain then made up an entirely new line on their graph that didn’t mean anything.
All that’s not to say they're wrong but they need to be better than that, surely?
