Was that really necessary? He's right BTW. We will overtake China today.

Just read it back , I used the word fibbing.
Preceded by the word fucking.
Not sure if I'm cut out for ranting if I'm honest

I like it

Because of course the figures from China are correct. Why do people take such great delight in talking about hundreds of people dying? Why do people think they are all experts on here and know better than everybody who is trying their very best during this period?

(a) Who knows if they are or not. The xenophobes on here have concluded they are not, with zero evidence to support that assertion
(b) they aren't
(c) they don't
(d) not helped when "the experts" have demonstrably fucked various things up, royally.
(e) what are you visiting this thread for? Happy clapping?

Not the biggest news as I think we were aware there was a lag on death times and actual recorded in the numbers but seems to be all over the job.

https://www.england.nhs.uk/2020/04/total-number-of-covid-19-deaths-in-england-by-date-of-death/

March 31st showing actual 96 deaths on the day in England here whereas the official release had it at over 500. The majority of the numbers must be coming from previous days.

I don’t suppose if ultimately matters but probably worth noting the deaths aren’t actually occurring over every 24hr period they give us.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-hold-in-uk-earlier-than-thought-data-reveals

Also saying first death occurred a week earlier than reported which is probably bigger news.

Also saying that 561 people didn’t die on 1st April, in fact, just 84 did;
“On Thursday, 561 deaths were reported, but only 84 took place in the 24 hours to 5pm on 1 April.”

The rest were numbers accumulated from previous days that hadn’t been accounted for.

So far our day-to-day data is useless. Any day-to-day graph we look at is null and void.

And because we also aren’t testing enough people and also aren’t marking recoveries we can therefore only go off the accumulation of all deaths.

2,921 have died. That’s all we can analyse because of the way every single other stat is taken (or not taken or unreliably taken or reported).

The spike was due to the number of tests it didn't represent a sudden increase in cases.

The figures I looked at was the no of new Covid-19 cases confirmed. 7 days ago there was a spike of about 30% from the previous day. There may well have been more testing done on that day, but it is true to say there was a spike in no of cases.
