Things to note:
• Daily covid data is extremely noisy and implies false precision
• This is why we use a rolling average. Watch for general trends. Focus on slopes, not specific daily numbers

I’ve also changed data sources.
I’m no longer happy using Worldometers, so tonight I dropped them as even a secondary source and got data directly from official sources in all cases.
This takes longer, but given my concerns over data quality on covid, I think this is important.

Here’s a video where I explain why we’re using log scales, showing absolute numbers instead of per capita, and much more: https://twitter.com/janinegibson/status/1244519429825802240">https://twitter.com/janinegib...
And a chart showing why we& #39;re using absolute numbers rather than population-adjusted rates: https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1244380095164420101">https://twitter.com/jburnmurd...
