No idea what you are looking at, but the increase is:
19.3. 2700 cases
22.3. 5744 cases ... +3044
25.3. 9667 cases ... +3923 = MORE
You shouldnt look at "one data point only" ... because there might be an error. If it slows down over several days you might have a point.

2020-03-26 09:30:44 UTC  

Yes. You look at the trend, and you look at the daily new cases confirmed

2020-03-26 09:30:54 UTC  

That trend is beginning to level off

2020-03-26 09:31:39 UTC  

You did notice that the figures above are for THREE DAYS, right?

2020-03-26 09:32:00 UTC  

Your figures. The trend graph has daily figures

2020-03-26 09:33:20 UTC  

Morning

2020-03-26 09:35:13 UTC  

You did notice that the "daily cases" graph has days with large increase and others with small increase?

2020-03-26 09:35:58 UTC  

Yes. Likely reporting delay

2020-03-26 09:36:07 UTC  

That's why you look at the trend, not individual days

2020-03-26 09:36:11 UTC  

Morning Muzzy

2020-03-26 09:38:58 UTC  

A "trend" calculated from such wildly varying data points is unreliable.

2020-03-26 09:39:26 UTC  

Depends on whether you understand why the points are wildly varying

2020-03-26 09:39:55 UTC  

Believe whatever you want ...

2020-03-26 09:40:05 UTC  

I work alongside statiticians

2020-03-26 09:40:16 UTC  

These wildly varying points do not worry me at all

2020-03-26 09:46:56 UTC  

Give it another couple of days and see what the data says

2020-03-26 09:50:14 UTC  

Imagine living some place where a lockdown makes such a difference in sound levels, LMAO

2020-03-26 09:51:27 UTC  

I don't even notice any change, except for maybe there being fewer quiet whooshing sounds from the road.

2020-03-26 09:52:41 UTC  

I've noticed far more military aircraft activity

2020-03-26 09:52:46 UTC  

That's about it

2020-03-26 10:02:49 UTC  

Morning @Eccles

2020-03-26 10:03:36 UTC  

Friday is my last day, then my company is closing the office for at least two weeks. A bit slow to shut down, but we got there lol

2020-03-26 10:14:38 UTC  

They need to open up building suppliers and construction firms

2020-03-26 10:42:07 UTC  

Based tbh

2020-03-26 10:48:24 UTC  

Twitter retardery sinks to new highs

2020-03-26 10:53:02 UTC  

apt for this server

2020-03-26 10:57:46 UTC  

so the new evil on twitter is "Dyson" apparently

2020-03-26 11:01:21 UTC  

why?

2020-03-26 11:01:28 UTC  

(dare I ask?)

2020-03-26 11:26:37 UTC  

basically the EU told the UK what to buy, and considering france is confiscating all our supplies, our gov decided to go british... so ... EU good, Dyson bad

2020-03-26 11:31:37 UTC  

The french better be buying those fucking supplies from us

2020-03-26 11:31:48 UTC  

because it is *we* who fucking paid for them

2020-03-26 11:32:25 UTC  

interest rate decision comin in half an hour

2020-03-26 11:32:59 UTC  

i think the french cried "misunderstanding" once it got some attention and let them go

2020-03-26 11:33:53 UTC  

they had a "misunderstanding" with a lorry full of sanitizers .. and then a "misunderstanding" with 130k face masks the next day

2020-03-26 11:42:38 UTC  

err

2020-03-26 11:42:59 UTC  

Dyson is presumably made in Singapore, so it doesn't really matter that much

2020-03-26 11:43:05 UTC  

But also, why would the EU be telling us what to buy?

2020-03-26 11:47:56 UTC  

i think theyre using UK plants to make the ventilators

2020-03-26 11:49:00 UTC  

where did you hear about the french confiscating supplies
