All settings - for the 28 day cut off, 138 deaths were announced today, up one on yesterday and up 61 on last Thursday. The 7 day rolling average rises to 100.14

I think we've safely established that Pete's approach to critical thinking extends only to his ability to remember and repeat information from the Telegraph, Guido and the Spectator.

You see, this is where you lose it. You keep trying to paint a certain picture, completely wrong of course, but somehow believe that repeating it ad nauseam means that somehow it gives you some sort of edge. Unfortunately it doesn’t, obviously the usual suspects lap it up, so by all means keep playing to your low level audience if it gets you ‘likes’. But the substance of an argument is not based on playing to the crowd, it’s about sometimes stating things that go against group think. Don’t worry, you will probably never do it, but one day, many years from now, if you read and learn, you might put up a post that is really yours and something that you actually have experience and believe in........
 
See there is more research suggesting "O" blood type has less chance of infection than other blood types.

"O" & "B" when infected less likely to have severe symptoms than those with blood types A & AB.

Sadly for FB92 he has commoners A type blood :dodgy:

Its a good job I have great hair and dashing looks otherwise I would be fuming right now.

Thanks for this, you do a great job of keeping the Covid data going.


For the other posters, The number of deaths registered in the UK in the week ending 2 October 2020 (Week 40) was 11,444, which was 591 deaths higher than the five-year average and 583 deaths higher than Week 39; of the deaths registered in the UK in Week 40, 343 deaths involved COVID-19.....

What evidence of your position have you offered as fact Pete? The Spectator gossip columnist and a misquote of a Guardian article?

And as for read and learn, you read nothing, you dint critically evaluate anything, you post nothing but what is presented to you by the Telegraph, Guido and the Spectator.

I'll try again, for the sake of establishing a genuine discussion on the topic at hand, which is Neil Ferguson's modelling...what about it was wrong, why and what evidence are you presenting to the contrary?

If you can't be bothered or can't answer those, then I suggest you stop your ad nauseum repetition of said Telegraph and Spectator headlines and go and do some more critical drinking.

Seeing as you mention that rag, of course everyone should be reminded of the fact that the single most dishonest article written during this entire crisis appeared in the Spectator. It is, amazingly, still up on their site. Its author has, at least publicly, had no consequences for writing something later shown to be wildly misleading.

I take it on its merits, but the repeated attacks on science from the mag are unhelpful in this climate.

As part of the regular scientific and media digest for strategic coordination their output is routinely flagged as false and misleading.
 
Cornwall, Devon, Norfolk etc.

All less than 40 cases per 100,000.

Why should these communities suffer ? I live in London and have no personal problem with a lockdown here as I work from home regardless and have been keeping to myself for the past couple of months anyway. I cannot agree with blanket restrictions across the entire country.
