The red zone for Herts is probably Watford (its in Hertfordshire you know) 😁

That was lucky. I got the same offer from Uber but I tried to use it at 3 local restaurants and found they were shut due to Corona virus 🙁

In my opinion the corona virus will pass but the tracking powers would remain forever.

Do i sence a degree of blowing hot and cold above ?

One the one hand the government should be given unlimited emergency powers to track our every move and on the other they can’t be trusted not to exploit the situation 🤔

My favorite way of calculating the national average wage would be to do the mean and then discard the figures for anyone earning more than double or less than half of that before doing the mean again. No government does it like that though because the result is too low for their liking.

In my opinion the study of statistics is a waste of time and effort.

IF you can get accurate figures then a quick look at the raw data can give you a feel for what’s going on but trying to use mathematical methods to get finer detail is usually pointless.

The source for those figures is public health england so they SHOULD be accurate.

Just saying. Some people should get a grip over Corona virus.
