Seriously ?

Yeah, I mean, to the extent that if I wanted to find a football score I could log on to BBC and it'd be accurate enough. I wasn't meaning to get into the politics of the BBC in general, just more so the difference in figures between there and worldometer I can't get my head around.
 
I agree. The only thing I'd say is their lockdown was akin to worst case scenario - it was to an extent that we aren't at ourselves now. That and we have no idea what difference the mutations to the virus have made to some of the rates.

I'm fine with saying the China figures won't be accurate. I do think it does need a bit of balance though in terms of valid reasons for their ability to contain being mentioned at the same time. As much as I don't believe their figures, I don't believe some of the proposed figures being "leaked" either - the truth I imagine is somewhere in the middle.
It usually is.
 
Might already have been covered in here, but any idea why sources such as the BBC report different daily figures for some countries than the likes of worldometer? They're almost 400 apart on the death count today. Usually I'd count the BBC as being relatively trustworthy source but that's a fair bit apart.

Anyway, I hope everyone is well, stay safe folks.
Worldometer tends to catch up later in the day for Spain and Italy especially, I wonder if they source figures regionally rather than nationally?

Ahh, that could explain it. Safer to take statistics and judge trends from the beeb in that case probably then. Cheers LB.
 
Get me in there, please. I am well ready for a fight. In fact put me in with whoever the next person is that says ‘flu’ and I don’t even care about context.
Rooney’s overhead kick against us was a flu-ke.
Meet you at Valencia train station at 3 for a straightener.
