Why was she feeding Kid 2 boiling water in the first place? Ultimately the powdered milk is added to it. We are weening. No more bitty for you. |

I see Scubar has been removed from existence on the G. About time
You can say what you want on this blog
Nobody is stopping you from having a say, you just can’t do it here
I found this argument difficult to follow.

Government maths, the same method for saying a single jab or single glove counts as an item and not the two needed? Also that tests done were those actually done, those sent and those asked for?

I don't have time to post much, but a friend (yes, I do still have one or two) posted this spectacular picture of Mike Pence's impromptu replacement ... btw, if they had been Black Lives Matter invaders there would have been 40, not 4 deaths IMO...  |

If it had been Black Lives Matter Protestors the Mall etc would have been lined with police and National Guard troops from DC. They would never have got in to the Capitol building in the first place Trump repeatedly refused to send out the DC National guard or to allow the security he insisted on for peaceful BLM demonstrations a few weeks ago. The only good thing about it is that his misjudgement seems to have been so catastrophic that the Republicans are stepping away from as fast as possible- Pence has a Biden-Harris photo on his twitter & Mitch McConnell was pretty forthright last night. |

ShenguinSensationalist reporting What you are saying with COVID figures would make sense if the government released the figures honestly. Back in April the figure never reached 1,000 in a day. However a couple of months later it was reported that the highest toll on one day had been 1,400. At various points a lot of the data has been adjusted retrospectively. Now not every change has been to show that things were worse than initially reported, but the vast majority have been. It's also clear that Johnson, Gove and Williamson in particular cannot be trusted to be honest and that Hancock can be at least bullied in to doing as he is told. Within this scenario I think it is entirely reasonable the Guardian to highlight bad figures. It would be better if they would drop some of the less well informed commentators, but I suppose everyone has the right to be heard. You may think it's ok for the Guardian to tell lies, but both the Guardian and me think the situation is bad enough already, and that vaguely honest reporting, on reflection, is better. www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/06/scale-of-emergency-facing-uk-laid-bare-as-1000-die-in-24-hours |

I think you are being a teensy tiny bit precious about it.
Anyone paying attention knows it is the deaths reported in the last 24 hours, not the final list of deaths.
The G has cocked up its reporting of the figures loads of times equating the reported death on a day to the number of deaths on a day.
I absolutely accept it is far better if they don't. It is an easy mistake because of the way the figures are released.
It's also an honest error, unlike many of the errors in the figures the government releases

Does this figure of 1,041 who tested positive in the last 28 days prior to death mean that for all 1,041 the causation of death was covid?

I assume you're being in some way sarcastic, and I have missed the point, so I'll answer as if it were a straight question. No, some of the deaths may have a different cause. |

What's even more meta about this is that there were a number of Republicans vying to be Trump's heir and pick up his support (those objecting). Yesterday he managed to make his base so politically toxic that he's managed to screw over those who were looking to try and win them over. He'd be a fine politician in Ancient Rome. "Et tu Brute"? "No wonder I have back ache, it's all the knives sticking in it" |

Scamander
I have thought for a while that the USA in some ways resembles the Roman Republic from the Gracchi onwards.
Both ended up with constitutions that are unsuited to the political situation, but which can't be easily reformed.
There's also very little difference between politicians ideologically, but massive personal differences
Both have empires which have destabilised them and politicians who struggle to deal with this. There's obviously a lot of differences as well.
The question is how does the USA avoid the long term political problems that beset Rome.

I assume you're being in some way sarcastic, and I have missed the point, so I'll answer as if it were a straight question. No, some of the deaths may have a different cause. It was a straight question as that information is not provided,or not easily obtained I don't think. But also a perhaps sarcastic, and maybe unhelpful, point on the media and government (in general) use/provision of statistics, which without more information, can be meaningless. But I guess this is nothing new. Eg, 50,000 people tested positive in one day! How many were tested on that day. I guess this is easy to find, but not on page 1 of whichever paper/site is being read. How many were symptomatic/asymptomatic. Their ages. Post code. On test/track and trace? Had covid before Occupation? Perhaps not, I'm not sure. I'm not questioning the 50,000, or the 1,041, btw. Of the 1,041, then that could be 1,030 or it could be 150, or any number, caused by covid. Not that it changes the seriousness of the virus, but it might be more meaningful and people might take things more seriously if more info were to hand. Although if thicky Williamson is in charge of the numbers then they will definitely be wrong. |

Also, when we say "testing for Covid" does this simply mean people being physically examined for the presence of the virus, or does this include actual quizzes and stuff about Covid?

coronavirus.data.gov.uk/There is more available at coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/download and you can select datasets to download, however that's not working for some datasets, including the one I particularly want, Deaths within 28 days by age demographics at Local Authority level. It's not available by postcode, but much of the data is available at MSOA -- Medium Super Output Area, which is an area with usually about 5000 - 8000 inhabitants. Yes, the numbers are inevitably wrong, but they're almost certainly close enough to accurate to be useful. The main problem with wrong numbers is the government deliberately misinterpreting and twisting them, e.g. claiming tests are available because there's enough testing kits, when the rest of the infrastructure isn't in place to carry out the tests. The government also massage the figures to an extent by what they present as the headline figures, and by bureaucratic incompetency. It's very unlikely that there's widespread deliberate lies in the data, as that would be difficult to achieve because of the way our bureaucracy and civil service operate. The map is also good: coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map

Chumbles I thought that was a cross/crucifix for a split second and was about to start an intervention. Then I put my specs on. Just ordered a copy of the reprint of the Jockey Slut tribute to Weatherall. Can't believe I missed the first run. Hello. TV. Spiral S8. Games. A wee bit of Tomb Raider. Finished with the trebuchets. Need to get it completed as I want to crack on with THPS remaster.

I have spreadsheets and pivot tables and graphs. I wanted to know what the levels of the new variant were round here, and what the levels of infection in children were. Turns out in this Local Authority area, children were 5.3% of positive tests up to 30th Sep, and 13.7% of positive tests since then.
I made a scientifically rigorous case that a deadly virus was an acceptable risk and they just needed to stay away from me, but I still wasn't allowed to send them to school.

Get them to do your work for you. It's educational - stops them dropping behind. Good for them Frees up your time (after a short initial supervisory period) And because they are under age and in full time education (doing your work) you won't have to pay them Win-win for everyone. |
