Statistical Nerds Thread

Our country. There is clear evidence that our hospitalisation and ICUs are dropping or stable. We have some of the highest testing stats in the world. We have expanded ICU capacity which hasn’t been needed thankfully. We might not be all the way there on what the authorities want, but where is our roadmap? Why is Simon Harris just musing in the SINDO? Sports organisations and pubs have come out now on their worries over his idle statements. People and industries want and actual plan in place. Harris is dipping his toe in the water on opening up as he is terrified of being blamed- other countries have published their roadmaps. The EU have made suggestions, I’d like to see some sort of plan from here.

What is your opinion based on on Sweden? You’ve latched onto testing now as your saving grace. What about ICUs? Hospital admissions? Previously you were going on about deaths with them and people demanding a lockdown.

I mean you’ve said on here they’ve done “nothing”, which isn’t true. It’s weeks and weeks now since the apocalyptic scenes in Italy and the suggestions other places might get that way. It looks like we’ve avoided it, but it also looks like they’ve avoided it in Sweden. Just going on about a “fear” there means nothing.

Over and over you’ve just cherry picked one stat and ran with it without looking at other variables. The 200 deaths as a takeoff point was another. It’s bizarre and you just default to calling people names when it is debated.
