My thought process is from an analysis of increasing trends and the seemingly clear link to the winter weather as well as not thinking restrictions go nearly far enough. Again it's just arrogance from FS to assume I haven't applied as much thought to my view as he has his. I would say What Oaks really means here is he can't respect anyone that can't think the same way as he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oaks is right, because it is completely relevant. But given it has been well documented that you simply can't understand the relevance of the seven day reporting, I'll just do the three days you mention. Maybe one day the penny will drop (won't hold my breath) Today 274 23rd 224 Yesterday 280 22nd 189 Day before 310 21st 191 We are able to predict to a certain extent how reporting will go. For example the next three days will likely be a little less than today or slightly more, then a spike on Tuesday. I guess by FS logic, if this comes true it has nothing to do with reporting and I'll just be a mind reader Edited October 30, 2020 by bazil85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing at all, again seven day reporting... 😪 It's my view on what we will end up with by the end of the year. I'm not predicting I'll definitely be right (like you are) in fact I very much hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday's figure is often the highest in the week, prob'ly down to the stattos getting back to work after a weekend on the "sauce"... Your inability to take this sorta detail into account after 7 months remains impressive... ***************** The rolling 7 day average for cases recorded is still increasing, with said increase only starting to tail off this week. Sadly the number of deaths for November is already carved into stone. While it's been enjoyable watching y'all pile onto Baz I feel he's closer to the mark than you care to admit.

We’ve had our differences but I imagine we’ll agree posters like FS & Oaks will already have ready made excuses if the death rates continue to climb as projected to the end of the year.

Let's see how close he is come the end if the year, end if February and the end of March as he's dribbling over the numbers for all if the above. How close is he on what, exactly? Let's see you nail your colours to the mast. I'm not, or have ever, made the point the numbers are increasing, I just prefer to point out any drops. If you'd been paying attention I was using the 7 day average for months way back after the daily numbers served their purpose. Look forget it, everybody is entitled to an opinion, I'm quite comfortable with my views on this. There's been plenty things I never seen coming, it's a fecking mess, a year out of our lives.

We can all have different opinions, and argue over them, but when someone claims their opinion is absolute fact because ... well ... just because, then it's time to get out of the discussion. No doubt, if his opinion is later proven to be correct, he will claim that it proves his opinion was a fact after all. He'll be wrong, but he'll do it.

faraway saint Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) The BBC reverting back to their early scaremongering. Just quoted a figure of more than 4,000 deaths a DAY is possible. That's got to be the best yet. My calculator just gave up when I punched that number in. As a comparison, India, population 1,384,493,422, have had just over 1,200 daily deaths at their peak. The USA, population 1,384,493,422, have hit UNDER 3,000 at their worst. Brazil, population 213,061,062, have had just over 1,500 I've picked the 3 countries who are performing badly, as we have TBH. Now, I'm not a scientist but I think the UK are unlikely to get MORE THAN 4,000 a day. Edited October 31, 2020 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Just had a message from an ex workmate, been with the company for 15 years. Being made redundant after being on furlough, almost constantly, from March. He's shattered, never known another company and there's not much out there. The oil & gas industry, and it's not on it's own, has been hammered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it FS, they (the companies) are absolutely shi**ing themselves and panic cutting resources at will (most of the time with no logic).I recently bailed out of a large north east Oil and Gas mob that have interests down in the central belt as I could sense that they were panicking.Unfortunately there will be more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
