Quote from: Dutch Uncle on March 26, 2020, 06:20:20 pmWould it be reasonable as a one time rough guide to add today’s and yesterday’s and divide by 2? So 115 + 28 / 2 = ca 72?I think what they have done is give figures for an 8 hour period 'yesterday' and give figures for a 24 hour period 'today', not overlapping. So if you added them up and divided by two you would technically have the figure for only a 16 hour period.Its a little awkward, but technically now, the number of deaths for the last day is 115 (113?), as they announced.

Here's today's graph. I actually did a "Get the f**k in!" thing with my fist when today's number came out. Not quite on the level of the response when Butler scored at Charlton, but getting there.It's getting more certain that the early social distancing that most of us started practicising a few weeks ago is paying dividends. Massive big ups to the whole country. Nothing certain yet, but if that's the case, and we don't f**k it up from here, it's looking like we might just get out of the first wave without the NHS reaching breaking point. Got to keep working at it though.
Wilts.I cannot believe Conway is still pushing that graph. It's really not helpful.Look at our slope over the past few days. It is nothing like the other ones. That clearly shows that he's set the datum wrongly.This is a big part of the problem with the UK media. Conway is very good on politics, but he's an English graduate. He's clearly got little idea how to deal with numbers sensibly.
Germany has 4 times the number of confirmed cases than the UK but half the mortality rate. Why?https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-why-germany-has-such-a-low-covid-19-death-rate-11964051
