This one as well is important.

The whole thread on Twitter deserves attention.

Just FYI these are yesterday’s numbers. I assume today’s will be in tomorrow’s graph.

700ish new cases. Easily highest so far but obviously with our testing regime doesn’t mean much. They seem to be holding back death numbers until after the press conferences now.

A lot of arguing over graphs and axes and how to display the data. I took the data (confirmed cases) and plotted it linearly. If you then offset our data by 15 days we are on exactly the same curve as Italy, presumably why the government are so keen to increase mitigation measures now to slow it down (Vallance said we're three weeks behind the other day though). Also our rate of growth has been higher than theirs for almost every day in March.

I think I shared a graph the other day where instead of cases it was cases per 100,000 which looks a bit better as we have a bit of a higher population.

I love how everybody can tell the future from a graph any prick could have knocked up and analysing the curve.



Get over the shop for some cans.

It's a graph with a dodgy scale designed to make the curve look worse as well.

Dom, they are real numbers, The hissy fits are all about the scale, the way the graph looks, ie its a complete smokescreen by the ones who feel embarrassed at their previous histrionics & want to save face- the usual story. Unless you're only fixated on the shape of the lines, the numbers themselves are 100% real and you can take what you need to know from them.

I usually work at home a day a week, this is my third day at home in a row for probably the first time.

I've never been so productive in all my working life. Even communicating is easier because I can do it as and when I have relevant updates which are worth sharing, which aren't diluted with other less relevant messages.

Its only the same as people arguing "how many would we get at the Ricoh" based on past figures, no?

I mean that’s the basis of most maths, yeah. Same way you can tell where a ball will land by its trajectory.

I know- what the hell is so hard? How are any projections made if not by analysing past trends & allowing for known variables? Here there are no known variables, nobody knows what will happen in the next 10 mins, let alone the next 3 months- all we have is past verified info. All this bellyaching about the 'wrong scale' and this stuff, talk about missing the point. Those numbers are real.

This is the guy who disbanded the pandemic bureau 2 years ago then lied about it, only for video footage to emerge of him discussing disbanding it is it? Is it the guy who said that a flu vaccine would solve it all?

I hope he has some "tremendous" expertise around him, because this guy doesn't have a clue whats going on.

They'd have more chance with Mr Panda directing things from home

All about what suits his reelection though isn't it. While his base wasn't convinced it was real he was joking about it, now they're buying guns it's the most serious thing ever.

Was Tucker Carlson who convinced him to take it seriously apparently. Went out to Mar-a-Lago and spoke to him. I think Carlson is a c**t personally but he’s probably saved thousands of lives and deserves credit.

How many are from coronavirus?

The 45 year old who had motor neuron disease was told 2 years ago when he was diagnosed that he had 2 years to live.

Yet the story is 45 year old dies from coronavirus. Proper scare mongering.

Obviously it's sad people are dying, of course it is.

Because he did Nick. When they tell you you've got x time to live, it doesn't set a timer. He died of coronavirus ultimately but had underlying health conditions.

All of them Nick. They wouldn’t have died if they didn’t have coronoavirus. You’ve got a life expectancy as well, doesn’t mean if you get hit by a bus tomorrow you died of natural causes.
