Re: New infection statistics!

Hooray! It seems that things have at last started to move in the
right direction with atrend of less new cases of corona being
reported, allthough the direction is still up.And at the same time
the deaths have allready established a downward trend!
This is good news, but the new cases need to continue going
down before we can celebrate?
I think new cases are currently at about 3800 per day in uk
whereas Japan recently published a figure of 2??
So we have some way to go yet!!

I Hope they are yours, and not... can’t say it, but I feel sure you know what I was going to say. 😳

DM, I'm sure that, deep down, we both know that the numbers are being manipulated, regularly, in order to manage public opinion.

Other Countries have done it, now we are doing it.

Changing the basic parameters, every month, is not the best statistical approach, if you need the truth.

Care Homes out, Care Homes in, Other deaths out, other deaths in, mobile phone apps (Ugh!). Other Countries low (then caught lying) then back up.

I've given up on the daily briefings on BBC.

Do we, the public, have enough info to get a grip?

Not yet!

Plus passenger flights are still taking place every day and l see no
reports of incomers going into isolation? So what is going on
there?

That's the same conclusion that I came to Ted. I have been recording the figures since the beginning of April just so I could monitor how we were doing, but the constant moving of the goalposts have made it virtually impossible to draw any kind of conclusion, so I packed it in. Could there be some 'Social Engineering' going on here. I could be wrong, but this whole fiasco seems like the government are not taking this seriously and only trying to pacify the general public, and give them things to do (diversionary tactics) like applaud the NHS, put posters up and keep Britain Talking, and the BBC are using their usual; we're all in it together, doom and gloom tactics.

I noticed how much the format of figures changed recently on the BBC coronavirus daily update. One day there would be the number of fatalities in the last 24 hours followed by the UK total, the next day there was no UK total. Then I found the link below from somewhere or other, probably on Over50sForum. This gives the totals plus a lot of other information and also a way of comparing our progress to that of other countries:
