> So the 7 day rolling avg was being put out on the news, a 7 day rolling avg means the data lags by 7 days.
I like playing with data. Rolling averages are simple to do and they are handy at smoothing out weekend spikes. Weekend spikes were a problem in the US because a bunch of people would get tested on the weekend and Monday would show a Spike. People (and Drs) have absolutely used data to lie - but I'm not quite convinced this is an example of "blood on their hands"
>However it also turned out that essential workers were the main spreaders
This is tantological. The people who were active were the ones spreading it. Yes. Fact.
>The military knew everything the Govt was going to announce at least two weeks before it was announced
I like to think that the government was well coordinated. This doesn't seem to be a bad thing. In the US, we had clear disagreement between different gov organizations and I'm not sure that is an improvement over "2 weeks of coordination"
>You could shut down corner shops at their peak times, which has racist elements to it, you could also shut down other businesses during peak time
This sucks. I hadn't anticipated this impact previous to this post and I appreciate you sharing this.
