Haven't posted in here for over a week as I got a bit bored with all the bickering.
But a while back a certain poster, username begins with G, said that the charts I was posting were a load of rubbish because:
1) the scale is wrong
2) the chart was being manufactured to make a false point - that we were tracking the same as Italy. Apparently we were doing much better than them.
Well guess what.
1) the government's own charts in their daily press conferences use the same scale
2) we are tracking very closely to Italy - but worse
Apology accepted Grendel.
My lad went on Amazon and bought one the same as he usually does.Tried that, pharmacist told me to go to my GP. As I say I haven’t had a prescription for over a decade.
Still think we're doing better than Italy?
Still think we won't have it as bad as Italy because their cases were mostly concentrated in a few areas?
Still think the government's response was acceptable when despite having a two week 'headstart' we're going to have it worse than Italy?
I assume the Welsh will return their Council Tax.Nailed on they're all tory wankers

Still think we're doing better than Italy? Give it 10 days and we’ll know.
Still think we won't have it as bad as Italy because their cases were mostly concentrated in a few areas? Liverpool, Midlands, London.

But tell me Labour would have done better...
The deaths in italy are hugely understated as per the FT article the other day so if we need to use words like better then yes
Try the podcast.Click bait
Too early to say with high confidence, we know U.K. deaths understated also, trends useful. He’s right about the graph, the people who spent days slating it were wrong to do so, it’s visually really excellent and has enough data now to capture trends and compare countries very well. As for labour, no clue, likely not, then again maybe- relevant how?
hangover incoming tomorrow, going to self isolate from everyone and everything
That may be true but the accuracy of our own figures isn't guaranteed eitherThe deaths in italy are hugely understated as per the FT article the other day so if we need to use words like better then yes
You need identical methods to evaluate countries and there is no constant method. Spain is higher as they’ve attempted to account for non hospital deaths, italy as one example had 5,000 deaths in March vs 99 last March and attributed just over 2,000 to the virus.
Germany do not count all hospital deaths if they have not been pm’d
France have admitted they are guessing non hospital deaths and it’s likely to be far more
China is a rogue number and so will Russia be
It’s a data set designed up create a result and the data going into the graph on deaths is not accurate and far from consistent
That may be true but the accuracy of our own figures isn't guaranteed either
i don’t know if I’m seeing things but I’m sure they’re saying that there are rumours of a military coup in Brazil as as result of what their mad president is doing on coronavirus.. the whole world’s gone (even more) nuts
Does Brazil already have a new “acting President”?i don’t know if I’m seeing things but I’m sure they’re saying that there are rumours of a military coup in Brazil as as result of what their mad president is doing on coronavirus.. the whole world’s gone (even more) nuts
Interesting stuff.
I will have a look around the internet for this.
Of course it’s not, a lack of time and resources stops them from being fully accurate in all countries with overstretched resources. However, there are also going to be more non-Coronavirus deaths as these people will not get the same level of care due to over-stretched systems and resources.That may be true but the accuracy of our own figures isn't guaranteed either
Ahem. , Your point.....you missed the point. Their is supposed to be a dialogue.What the hell is this drivel?
We're in a worse state than Italy were at this stage.
You've completely missed my point on the second point.
What the hell does Labour have to do with the government's response?

There are also those whose deaths were not actually caused by the virus having it attributed to it as well.
The reporting stil gives us a strong overall indication of what is happening though and the direction in which a particular country is heading.
The good news from here is that the strict lockdown measures appear to have been a success in terms of halting the rampant spread and ICU is finally being eased.
Currently it’s due to run until 13th April but it looks like it will be May before phase 2 kicks in and some of the restrictions are lifted.
We are now going into average British summertime temperatures, so it should also give some kind of indication of what happens in raised temperatures for those hoping some warmer weather would have an impact.
PFA claims players shouldn't take a wage cut or deferral as loss of tax income would be damaging for NHS.
Anyone believe high earners are paying full tax? Or that the charitable donations suggested won't be a tax write-off?
There's a fruit and veg shop on my street that has stayed open, I guess it is a kind of market, but it is an essential service, so is allowed. Bizarrely there was a bar that suddenly started selling bread but that got shutdown within a couple of days with the regular drinkers outside of the pavement. It is probably the local version of the Tudor Rose.Some street markers selling fruit and veg are actually now opening in Italy
Not many I would say as the dibble will be all over the roads to them.I wonder how many dumb shitheads will be travelling to Skegness/Blackpool/Cleethorpes/Brighton etc today for a nice day at the beach...

Actually it is probably worse.
That's perfectly legalHad a row with the Mrs about this this morning.
We moved in with her parents and younger brother 6 weeks back to save towards a mortgage instead of renting, and anyway, We've got a massive garden, so as the weather is class we were gonna do a mini barbecue.
Just us that live in the household..
She starts whinging about peoples 'opinions'and 'should we be doing it'
Far as I'm concerned we could have a fucking firework display in the garden as long as its just members of the household or am i talking shit? Started to make me doubt myself now.
