I think that's the only reason he's kept the current job ( unlike all the others he's been sacked from for telling porky pies). Lying is one of the core competences of the post.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Just watching a report on BBC 10:00 news about the increase in COVID deaths, very worrying and when you look at the initial graph on the government website it looks like a significant upturn.

But the graphs on death data seem to tell a different tale? No upturn in any of those……

Re: Coronavirus
 

It’s called scale.

Re: Coronavirus
 

3 charts going down = 1 chart going up. Regardless of “scale” they should still show an upward inflection.

Re: Coronavirus
 

If you look at the graphs on the government website cited on those graphs, you can see the upward trajectory in deaths. The graphs you're looking at go back 18 months and are too small to show this.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Using the 7 day average it’s the same graph as the middle of the three you’ve taken from the Government website, covering a shorter time period and displaying against a different scale. The purpose of a 7 day average is to even out peaks and troughs that arise around weekends as fewer deaths get reported and it catches up in subsequent days.

The two other graphs measure something different - by date of death not date reported. These will always drop off towards the end because of the administrative delays in recording dates of death. That’s specifically why the portion most to the right is grey because it is considered incomplete.

This is all semantics really, as I’m sure it’s been covered numerous times, as they’re still dead.

Nomadking explains here - now if you go back and look at the figures for the start of November they’ll have caught up/evened out. The plateau comes later in the month than you suggested.

You made no such statement, again, read what you actually posted.

LOL, Your just making this up as you go.

I suspect the Prime Minister can make an argument for being ‘not present’ even if technically in the building …

I quoted from someone's Tweets on twitter. Given the limited character space, context is everything. I'm sorry for any confusion.

I find it useful to assume that nothing worth saying is ever said on Twatter.

I believe she had gone out delivering food parcels, winter clothing, and thick fleece blankets to all the homeless people in the area . . . although I may be mistaken ;)

Should have put the rug rat in the pram and took it with her like normal people do then.

sounds to me like they have abused the system.

Re: Coronavirus
 

If depends on the poster. If it's just a random, I would be inclined to agree with you. If it's a reputable journalist - as in this instance - I wouldn't. To me, it's more rhe person than the platform.
