Look who briefed Peston before official disclosure.

How you present the figures matters.

3 extra deaths, up from 10 does indeed make 30%

I’m not a maths wizard but a more realistic metric would be 3 more deaths in a thousand that is only an increase of 0.3%.

Using the first method if it 1 person that dies in a million, and new strain killed 2 people per million the headline would be “ new variant 100% more deadly” .

I remain not scared.
