On the total deaths front, only Italy to go and it's into silver medal position behind America. Should have it done by the end of the weekend.

So are you sure Italy and Spain are reporting all their deaths? How about France? Because apparently they do things differently in different areas. The things put in place are working, but I'm sure you could have done better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I see of the numbers the more I think it's smoke and mirrors with different counting regimes. What is important is understanding our own numbers where, when how and type. Only with accurate and robust data can we understand where we are heading. 2 minutes ago, Gordon R said: How accurate are any of the figures? I wouldn't stake a pound on any of them being true.

You just be gutted that the Government are so popular at the moment. YouGov say it is the nights rating since they started reporting popularity in 2003.

They were talking about the 100,000 target yesterday and saying it was good they had picked such a high number because it galvanised people and departments.

The Heron Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I was reading yesterday that in December 2019 an unusual spike in deaths had been picked up (6000) above normal for the time of year in england if this was the first indication of what was to come then the number of deaths and people being positive from the virus must be double than that that is being published, also a scientist from Iceland had evidence that the virus had been brought to his country by english tourists in January. If and it is an if that was the case then what with the society gatherings at Christmas plus all the sporting events the virus was well established in the UK long before it was brought to the attention of the public.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I watched an interesting interview on the BBC this morning where the Chinese Ambasador to the Uk was denying it all started in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the exponential rate of the death curve without significant social distancing measures, it's difficult to see how we didn't see an explosion of deaths Jan to March if December was the initiation point. For this reason I think the suggestion lacks credibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
