I think its awful, surely as the national news broadcaster the BBC should have information on it!

Its a disgrace, no updated facts or figures from the briefings, symptom pages are very poor and dont show symptoms until very end.

Unless there is an opportunity to embarrass the government they dont report it.

All news on USA, Spain and Italy

That's not exactly a huge number. When it hits over 50 I'm sure you will get a story. Most at the moment are stories about individual examples like the 21 year old with no underlying health problems.

Why do they put this shite on

Now half the country will think it's ok to for a drive in the country

IMHO they have far too much coverage, far too many experts giving their own opinions, presenters asking leading contentious questions

All they need to do is stick to the facts and repeat government advice

But you have to be able to balance that to keep people reading about cute dogs or whatever, so they will have a higher chance of reading the repeated official message.

If the BBC is so partisan or has so much unnecessary scaremongering, then why are so many people still taking their news as gospel from social media; which is essentially unregulated, dangerous gossip?

The gov website has number of cases, it's in various places on the BBC website too. The Guardian breaks it down by area. There are lots of statistics out there.

You have to look for them. It's not difficult. Apply your research skills, critical thinking, etc.

Think that backs up my argument, Gov and Guardian have figures BBC choosing to not to publish. If you want research I would also add in WHO org as they have a daily situation report.

Thank you

I'm starting to suspect that because the information the OP wants isn't just handed to him on a spoon, he thinks the BBC is failing him.

It's not a personal service. It's like a library. Go find it.

Err... I'm pretty sure the BBC has the information. I personally find the other sources easier to digest. Not all sites can do all things in all ways to suit all people.

If you want the stats they are widely available

Corona stats

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Testing stats

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-testing

Collating stats is not a job for the BBC as it is complex in nature and forever changing - providing stats can be misinterpreted and cause major issues

So far I'm seeing someone who wants the national broadcaster to cater to him specifically rather than being responsible enough to seek out information among the many things available for a diverse readership.

There are plenty of sources for the death rate. So, basically you want it to emblazon the death rate all over the site each day? Because it's not doing that, it is somehow not supporting the government?? Eh?

The pro BBC anti Boris forumites feel that

BBC TOP News running USA figures is valid

BBC UK news running no figures is appropriate

I think you just like a row and dont actually consider the point being made, instead you will just.. object.

I'm pro public health and being responsible for seeking information yourself. I'm strictly neutral on the BBC and seek most of my virus related news outside the media.

Regardless of my political proclivities, the internet is an amazing tool and there are countless websites out there solely dedicated to information on the spread.

Yes, the BBC serves an international population as well as those of us who care about global events.

The UK information is prioritised as you'd expect from a UK source, but sometimes other stuff is more newsworthy.
