CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

"You can't believe the peak has passed then call for healthy people gathering in public to be fined, it exposes the underlying beliefs you have on the situation. You having a bob each way!"

I'm saying the data SUGGESTS new cases may have peaked - don't tweak the pitch to suit your agenda.

And, by definition, it is empirical data - whether you like it or not. Even if you think the numbers are derived by algorithm. Which is odd in itself.

ps And not once did I suggest that restrictions could or should be relaxed, nor that such steps wouldn't see numbers jump again.

My word you're boorish.

It's true, you were only guessing, placing a bet.

You took offence at me pointing out some logical inconsistency in your published opinion and dragged this into a massive circular debate. Then when I refused to give your opinion any more significance than it deserves you made it personal and trotted out the usual the old adages.

No matter which way you go, it won't make your points logically consistent.

And no, a clock counting cases based on a time algorithm is not empirical, if the algorithm could make some accurate prediction like the case surge in Spain it might be useful, but it didn't and I doubt epidemiologists are going to pay much attention to something that gets manually reset or corrected by a javascript web programmer after the fact.
