Today shows further the problem with stats analysis. Scotland reported 2 deaths yesterday, 74 today.
I wonder why we hear so little about what's happening in Russia regarding the Coronavirus?And why they have so few deaths?Only 58 so far.

Anyone analyising daily NHS mortality figures as a measure of how bad spread of the virus is give up now. By 27th March they were 80% to low. 80%!https://twitter.com/ChrisGiles_/status/1247458186300456960

What they are showing is essentially the delay in reporting the correct number of deaths.You are correct anyway, its stupid to microread the daily data. Let's remind ourselves the only real important aspect to this whole thing is keeping the numbers under what hospitals can cope with. Thats the whole point.
