This is good news, but the new cases need to continue going
down before we can celebrate?
I think new cases are currently at about 3800 per day in uk
whereas Japan recently published a figure of 2??
So we have some way to go yet!!
Donkeyman! 🤔🤔
DM, I'm sure that, deep down, we both know that the numbers are being manipulated, regularly, in order to manage public opinion.
Other Countries have done it, now we are doing it.
Changing the basic parameters, every month, is not the best statistical approach, if you need the truth.
Care Homes out, Care Homes in, Other deaths out, other deaths in, mobile phone apps (Ugh!). Other Countries low (then caught lying) then back up.
I've given up on the daily briefings on BBC.
Do we, the public, have enough info to get a grip?
Not yet!
