Yes that's the one I've been using Baz, but last week they started including all the care home stats and it was no use trying to use it as a comparator anymore....

I'm with you now, not comparing like with like. Apparently there are a lot of variations in how different countries compile their figures, I guess that makes a vast difference when making comparisons.

I think you still can.

Think some countries are telling fibs.

Two statistic's I find of interest on the link

Deaths per Million we are about 6th

The % of deaths per Country.

UK has a 15% death rate.

Re: New infection statistics!

I have put this up before but...

If you want another statistical site to compare figure here are the figures from the Centre for Systems Science and Engineering at John Hopkins University in the USA:


https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/a...23467b48e9ecf6

They are similar but not the same as the other site

Re: New infection statistics!

Thanks for the link Galty....
According to those figures for the UK The most infections were registered in:-

(1) Kent - 3544

(2) Lancashire - 2962

(3) Birmingham - 2954

(4) Hampshire - 2915

(5) Essex - 2699

(6) Surrey - 2647

(7) Hertfordshire - 2411

(8) Sheffield - 2248

(9) Cumbria - 2007

(10) Staffordshire - 1843

Interesting to note that Kent was the highest after watching the youtube clip with Nigel Farage. Also Essex was among one of the highest, could immigrants be either landing there or dispersing there too.

Sheffield was recorded as having 2248 cases, whereas Rotherham [Which is virtually the same city and closely joined] was only recorded as having 761 cases....

Lancashire is number two on the list, however, with several cities and large towns within its bounds the population is high.

Re: New infection statistics!

Have to agree the information seems hidden, deliberately too I believe.

Hopefully to guise a falling rate, with scaremongering to prevent the public ignoring lockdown rules, and prevent a sudden rise of infections again.

I read results of research carried in Germany, has proven what many are/have been saying. That there are many more infections than the calculated numbers given by WHO, and governments.

Their calculations show There are/were 10 times more infections in Germany than what has been recorded.

They also calculated the number of UK infections is closer to 8,000,000

Could they be right, well they did/are carry out extensive testing, which could mean why they have such a low death rate compared to a high infection number.
