His interview on the marr show has just been aired. If you are interested in statistics it is a enlightenment on our theatre news statistics and reality statistics

He in my opinion knows his stuff

Follow him on more or less

Not sure I can watch though I wonder if he has done a pod cast?

Google search his name.. Twitter results a clip from this...not long but states the stats are rubbish in 2 ways..

1..over estimation of number of daily tests...(this will be to try and reassure the masses that things are being done)

2..31k deaths...he says it's an underestimation...there are more..

So basically...if you take that snippet..all those saying it's not deadly..it's not dangerous..it's a conspiracy to control us..can shove their delusions up their ass.

Sadly...despite my general respect for the man he also got it wrong on deaths under 15. He clearly said only 2 under 15s had died.

Ive tried to find the actual numbers but i remember specifically hearing of a 6yr old, 9yr old and 6 day old baby.

On several of the briefings they have given the figure for last 24 hours and said (eg) aged between 8 and 103 etc.

Deaths in under 15s are VERY low but if criticising others use of data then be very sure of your own...

He did say the ONS data being used is 2 weeks old, I've just checked and it is reporting 2 deaths due to C19 in under 15's.

Maybe the ones you are referring to were more recent
