Mr Red BS: Coronavirus statistics (26) RE: BS: Coronavirus statistics 18 Apr 20

George Canning UK Prime Minister said:   I can prove anything with statistics, except the truth

Which is typical politicianspeak for "denial". And speaks volumes of how politicians use stats. Real stats would include the question in full, and what wasn't asked also.

The UK COVID-19 figures on-line are split into the constituent countries for confirmed cases for eg England yet shows the total UK deaths. We know care homes figures are not included because of the fiasco of testing. And Only cases in hospitals are collected, though maybe medical staff would be included because of the testing currently.

The UK TV press briefings showed curves that implied the situation had plateaued, and even dipped. Let us wait and see how that picture changes when restrictions allow (say) just workers to return.
