Bairnardo Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Germany still seem to be doing a lot better than us. Their curve is flattening. Ours isn't. Why are we comparing trends on different scales? Doesnt help IMO 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they are doing far more tests than we are so will have far higher numbers. Surely it's the trend rather than the scale that matters? Germany's looks like it's flattening and ours isn't.

I copied them from here. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Sure if you are only looking to that wee bit at the end it's a fair enough comparison. If you are looking to compare rate of rise of the two countries, and even eventually rate of drop, you have to have them on the same scale, otherwise theres no point in the comparison. You would be aswell just looking at each on it's own. Too early to call the Germany one a proper flattening but it does look like maybe turning. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 They aren’t identical the UK one is pointing up and the Germany one is flattening at the end.People who want to see patterns will find them - you are talking about one or two observations fluctuating a tiny amount on two graphs on a different scale.That's not how statistics works. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I said something similar earlier. This wasn't a one-off error. The amount of decisions that must have went through that family's head and not one of them thought "hmm, maybe this isn't a good idea?" Bollocks. They knew it wasn't a good idea, but thought they were above it.Was saying that myself this morning. Had to take the missus to work in Edinburgh this morning (and that's a joke in and of itself) and must have passed about ten variable message boards on the M90 both ways saying "Avoid unnecessary travel" and "Stay at home" etc. You'd think those reminders might have triggered something somewhere about the fact that she crafted that message and was blatantly ignoring it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, in recent weeks he has insisted that his congregants embrace and shake hands, exhorting them that they were “revivalists, not pansies”... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
