I am joined by Emily Barley from www.coviddashboard.live to examine some of the weaknesses in the covid data and establish whether we can rely on the stats.
We'll be discussing:
- The problems with how covid admissions and deaths are reported
- How a lack of context of ICU capacity this year vs previous years is skewing the debate
- How technical definitions can mislead the public and policy makers
- How to make sense of why overall hospital capacity has been hammered given the conflicting reports
- Why it is so difficult to determinate how many cases of covid are 'hospital acquired'
Please check out www.coviddashboard.live to see some of the data discussed within this episode.
