Spin V Data


Following on from the previous post. The short video below was released on July 1st and to my mind it is a good example and reminder of how ruthlessly lockdown was sold to political leaders and the media during the coronavirus debacle.

He is top man, he's Ireland's equivalent of our Sunetra Gupta.

It seems this was a very costly bandwagon to jump on.

Either something politically sinister is going on, or our scientific experts are effectively useless. I'm not sure which is most worrying.

Now Biden has 'won' the US election, all Covid nasties will fade away, and there will be peace and prosperity throughout the world.

Some statisticians will argue the opposite, so that's alright then.

Mark - he is, presents things really well. To begin with I compiled my own coronavirus data, but with this guy doing such good videos it wasn't worth it.

Sam - in my experience really good scientists don't usually climb far up the greasy pole. I'm sure this is a far bigger problem than we know.

Scrobs - at least we can look forward to some entertaining cock-ups when Biden takes over.
