27th April 2020 - Statistics, more Statistics and damn lies

Thought for the day :"Exercise can help decision making – Went for a run this morning and decided – never again"

Saw some Welsh reading yesterday ..


Another week and still the same ....

I skipped No 12 so we can go back for it now ...

English Country Garden

Two more in the bag - so can have a day off today ...
Managed to get rid of one barrel of Glycol today and clear behind the Greenhouse. It was covered in Brambles so managed to not injure myself too much as I cleared it. The first barrel was mainly water so flushed down the drains easily - will look at another one today. Need to start digging a hole for a drainage ditch...

Weather looks as though it is turning which at least may keep more people in their houses. 

Boris Back from Chequers today.
Total cases creeps to within a statistical error of 3 million. Deaths over 200,000. USA getting close to the million cases on their own and almost 55,000 deaths.  UK have almost 21,000 deaths.
I am not a great one for statistics but, though those fingures look horrifying, the US death toll is only 1.6% of the polulation of the USA. In the UK we are at 3.1%.
I don't see that statistic bandied around a lot.
Thought I would look at other countries to see ...
Spain -   4.9%
Italy - 4.4%
Germany - .07%

Well done Germany...

They say that a Statistician is someone who can draw a mathematically precise line from an unwarranted assumption to a foregone conclusion.

Well - back to the Grindstone..

Cheers !
