"I'd be wary of going anywhere near sky, for fear of my own health and safety. I'd loom at the data itself. And query interpretations, hoping that they have stated that that's what they are. " Look, not 'loom', I'm not producing garments. | |||

"BBC story today(I use the word deliberately).. "there is more evidence the increase in coronavirus case infections is slowing down" Sky news story today "the R number, the rate at which the coronavirus infections are spreading increases from 1.2 to 1.5 range to 1.3 to 1.6 range" So both our main TV media news sources take the same facts...and tell us diametrically opposite stories upon them. Got to be careful what news you look at folks. " Look at the worldometer figures especially the rolling averages and draw your own conclusions | |||

"It might be that the RATE of increase is going down. Rate being a measure of something (in this case coronavirus positive tests) over time. Trouble is, a lot of people, including media types, don't understand the nuances of statistics and data interpretation. " The R number is increasing... Hence the conflict with the BBC story. If you look at the gov site it explains and shows the r rate and the growth rate. | |||

"Yesterday imperial college estimated the current R rate to be 1.1" Haha... Well the on the gov website it's showing 1.3 to 1.6. Wonder where they get their info and where imperial get theirs...? And why they are so significantly different... And why gov figures always cover a range . . And imperial number you quote is a discrete value | |||

It's from their React program. Very interesting information. Thing is their data was up to 26th Sept so its already a week out of date. But showing increased prevalence in 18 to 24 year olds and 65 and above. | |||
