Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

It's clear what happened:

Johnson's dropping of 'stay at home' and the announcement of 'stay alert...but get out there' was ushered in by record drops in the daily death rate on the day he announced the 'roadmap out of lockdown' and the day after when it had to be politically sold.

You're either too thick to get that, or just playing silly buggers to not get it...my money is on the latter.

Dave, you usually come across as a semi-smart person but you’re really showing yourself up in this thread lately.

The ‘weekend effect’ has been happening from the very beginning. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-04-07...ting-coronavirus-reporting-figures-in-europe/

I don’t understand why you’re struggling with this so much.
 
Just do you know, you brought numbers into it first. ‘Our numbers line up with...’.
So don’t talk absolute rubbish about undermining their use in the first place.

I’m using investment bank research as a source, who in turn have access to the best sources of information that money can pay for, Ive got access to access to the opinion of leading epidemiologists on a weekly basis, and able to read expert opinion on the impact on the economy. It includes direct updates from previous chancellors and members of treasury select committees, as well as previous heads of the Bank of England.
The actions of the U.K. government are assessed constantly.
The numbers *are* important. And the opinion of those I’m listening to are valid.
And they are saying that mistakes have been made and people have died because of it. They are saying that the slow reaction means that the lockdown measures need to be in place longer. And that because we aren’t well placed to track and trace that we are likely to see more of a W shaped recession (which increases the likelihood of actual redundancies and more than just furloughed employment).

everyone can be wrong but I’m guessing their sources and their opinions are much better informed than yours.

Excellent, but even with access to all that great and vast bank of information they didn’t know that the U.K. had a higher population than Spain, Italy or France and therefore deaths/million are in line...look you‘ve got me doing it again.......Apologies.....
 
As they keep explaining Dave, the numbers are usually under reported at the weekend, the last three days being the bank holiday w/e. The number then went back up to 600+ Today (not on graph as this is yesterday’s) as was fully expected and in line with the general picture seen every week.....the trend is continual reduction...

Yada yada yada...even taking that trend in, the Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday just gone (day of roadmap announcement / dropping of 'stay alert' and day after when it was being explained) had the two least deaths per day since the end of March.

I know when someone's pissing down the back of my legs and telling me it's raining.
 
Dave mate, 600+ don’t just die in one day based off an announcement, those figures will be a mix of 2-3+ days as there’s no one hardly in office at the weekend. They’ll be high again tomorrow and Thursday while it catches up then drop under 300 Friday to Monday
600 didn't die in one day.

Which has been the problem all along in the way this is reported. Those 600 could stretch back to march , they aren't in 24 hours. It's how many have been registered.

For all we know 5 people could have died in the last 24 hours, but 300 of them were 3 weeks ago, for example

You're missing the big picture. I've explained the point above.

Just look at the graph. Then look the previous w/e and the previous w/e and the ..........

Monday wasn’t a Bank Holiday, Friday was the Bank Holiday
