Exactly why the fuck are we using figures that no one else uses for borders restrictions? according to every other countryIncluding Guernsey UK rate is 35 per 100k over 14 days not 50 as Howie states! Also Channel Islands cut off is 30/100k so why ours different? Edited September 8, 2020 by Banker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 The ons figures are released on a Friday I think, and are normally a 7 day rolling average.Judging by how the cases rates appear to have risen recently I'd expect the next report to display that. All of the info is on the ons website. Also, these are questions you can go and ask Ashford on his roadshow. Why don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought someone on here would know why we are out of line with everyone else but suppose it’s Manx solutions etc etc!!!

I posted about this a few pages back. Why we use base 5000 when everyone else uses base 100,000 is inexplicable. The Howie 50 against ONS 35 is probably because Howie used the figures from a single day whereas ONS is a rolling 7 day figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 A few days ago @dilligaf criticised me for going for a holiday in the sun. Just to prove how wrong he was - video of yesterday evening. https://www.facebook.com/526416560874507/posts/1634325923416893/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's bizarre, they've obviously come up with this measure which is out of line with everyone else but won't change as they would have to say they made an error.
