Still, the huge difference between the WHO, John Hopkins and UK Gov is quite something. The UK Gov shows steady decline, but both other data sources show fairly consistently that we're diagnosing around around 4,000 new cases per day. Clearly WHO and JH have a fairly similar data stream with an offset of a day. Something to ponder.

it'll be something related to how they are showing the data, Johns Hopkins and WHO source their data from each government's official data.

Wow. That's interesting. Where did you get that graph? Edit - the UK data in your figure are nothing like Hopkins, even allowing for the odd way the graph has been drawn. I don't understand how the numbers can be so low, unless this is just data on Covid as confirmed by lab tests? If so that will be way low.

So this has rather quietly turned up, guessing the press will pick up on it fairly soon?!

Antibody test now on sale in UK which has met the MHRA criteria (minimum 98% specificity and sensitivity, and it has met/surpassed these.)

It appears you can buy one NOW for £89. I am slightly tempted - given very COVID-19-like symptoms in mid-March.

I made the graph myself this morning over a cuppa. The data streams were from:

John Hopkins: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html
WHO: https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/gb
UK Gov: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk

It's quite different, even allowing for the fact that for some reason the UK data only covers England rather than the whole of the UK

I see Russia are lying as usual. 233k cases 2k deaths, going the Iran route of capping their death figures between 100-150 every day.

could have more testing like germany and Korea.

Just because we ballsed up the testing which cost tens of thousands of lives , doesnt mean they have
