Long time lurker here - I've found these threads really useful.
Does anyone know what's happened to the data for Mid Sussex, Horsham and Crawley today? Daily totals are 31, 47 and 75 respectively. Mid Sussex and Horsham have been in single digits recently and Crawley not much higher.
Looking at specimen date, the bulk of these must be historic cases. Any ideas why? The rest of West Sussex looks ok but I'm wondering if there's been another "back of the sofa" moment and, if so, whether it's local or more widely spread...
@PenguinLost No back of the sofa moment at the national level.
However someone has been having some fun and games more locally.
Crawley
19 cases added with spec dates between 24th Oct and 13th Nov
2 cases added up to 14th Dec
Then another 26 between 15th Dec and 14th Jan
Nothing bigger than 3 added cases on any day.
Similar picture for the others you mention.
In England in terms of spec dates.
69 added to January
112 added to December
109 added to November
Then 15 removed from October, 4 removed from September, a net addition of 18 between Jan 2020 and end Aug 2020.
Vast majority -5043 - dated from last 4 days; 141 for the three days before that, and 56 to the rest of Feb.
A good spot on your part if I may say
