My apologies for the fact that today’s report has been in two parts. I have provided you with the data for today and now I will turn more to the commentary.

I have concerns tonight that we are beginning to see a change in the data suggesting that the number of new cases may be rising again. It comes at just the right time after the relaxation of all the rules. Today I was in Tesco’s wearing a mask, where they very politely request that weContinue reading “March 7 2020”

Today is the third day of data being produced in 7-day chunks. Data for tomorrow is collated by adding the most recent days figure and subtracting those of a week ago, so producing the latest 7- day average.
