The problem is they think it’s misleading because it would look totally different on a linear scale (which is acknowledged in the tweet thread) but seemingly don’t understand that what it’s really showing is the gradient of an exponential function in way that doesn’t involve having to explain...

It seems you aren’t prepared to say either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These are the choices governments are having to make. I don’t think they or anyone doesn’t understand these challenges hence the talk of economic stimulus and our government talking about trying to put things off because will people will get bored. It’s a balancing act between deaths, the...

What do you think will be the situation when Germany hits 10 days and when you say “it isn’t” what are you referring to, cases, percentage of population infected, or something else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess it’s like all approaches and what I said about the original government plan. Might be the best on paper but doesn’t mean it will survive contact with reality. If you can get clear messaging out there and manage expectations there’s at least a chance people can be adults about it...

A better way? Some interesting analysis and links. The “adaptive pulsing” idea is interesting and might be how life looks for the next several months. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven’t seen that but that’s a good tip, thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All the best Hill, keep in touch on here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m starting to wonder if he’ll last the year. In fairness he at least seems to be trying to take it seriously even if he can’t quite switch off the jokey persona. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think you’re right. I think it will be worse here. We’ve spent years demonising experts and telling the public they’re right. They’re not going to listen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was going to ask how the U.K. attitude, both governmental and public, is being perceived abroad? Was talking to a friend in Ireland and he was aghast that we were living our lives as normal over the weekend and don’t seem to comprehend the situation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it political point scoring or just analysing the situation? It’s not like labour get to have a go next or wouldn’t have listened to the same experts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Coronavirus: No 10’s strategy switch may save 250,000 lives — The Times and The Sunday Times Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think they’ll be more push back here. Speaking to friends most in big companies already WFH but lots saying they’ve been told they need to be in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t get that when they’ve said it can live for hours on a surface. Is it because it needs to enter the body via your nose or eyes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s odd I’d have thought they would be one job where you’d have to stay at home. How do you know if you can work or if you’re on lockdown? I can see if it happens here virtually everyone will be thinking “well I need to go to work” and a lot of mangers will be saying “business as usual”. On...

Yeah we’re importing a lot more here so there’s more risk in that sense. One benefit of this mess is we get to stress test a lot of systems and supply chains before Brexit kicks in next year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m sure you’re right (although it’s more useful at a higher level with motivated students, see Open Uni and various other providers) but plenty of jobs could have people working from home even if it was only part of the time or staggered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is that what it was based on? Where have you seen that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
