Figures

[Fartintheloft]

I really don’t like the fact that the figures for deaths aren’t being put on the actual government website anymore. I know they are being released to the press. But it just feels odd, very unofficial and if they are being released, why not put them on anyway?

Anyone else feeling the same?

Bumping.

Bumping one last time, because they have done it again! 🙄

Yes I feel the same. Still feel like there’s a huge build up to not quite sure what. The tested positive rates are meaningless now but loads of people think they may have symptoms but haven’t got a clue. But they should publish the rates they do know like numbers in hospital with confirmed cases and deaths.

Data is being published on github

@Karwomannghia that’s exactly how I feel. It’s the whole transparency thing again.

@NanSlayer so (sorry if I’m being stupid) where do they get this data from? If it’s from our hospitals or government fine. But then why are the government not just publishing it themselves? Why has it been three days of saying ‘it will be released later’ but then not actually being released on that site? I just find it disconcerting - especially as the data is supposed to be 9am-9am daily.
