    The 7 day rolling average is 321. That is using YOUR source, Gov.uk.

    For some reason you quoted the figures up to November 1st. I wonder why.....?

    I demand a public apology

    You say the figures are rising rapidly 59, the GOV.UK figures show they are not.

    The reason I have only quoted up to Nov 1st is because the figures for 'Deaths By Date of Death' take a few days to be collated, and so there is a time lag before they can be considered accurate, OC has already pointed this out, I thought you would have been aware of it as well. Worry not, there is no hiding place, I will revisit the figures again, I check them every day, and if there is a rapid increase it will become evident, at the moment the figures don't show it. Watch this space mon ami.

    According to the Gov.uk figures deaths in the last seven days (up to November 6th) were 2246 - up 588 in a week. That is a 35.5% rise in a week.
    For me that is a rapid rise.

    These figures are from the Gov.uk website, which you quoted from using last weeks data.

    Check the link below - I didn't invent the figures. If you dispute them then don't blame me - go on the Gov.uk-Mad website and put them right

    Absolutely OC!

    I can't remember if it was Trump or Sinkov who started the craze of saying "Fake News!" and thinking that this automatically won the argument.

    Mind you, it worked for Trump (until this week!)

    If you two would just stop posting FAKE NEWS, I wouldn't have to keep pointing it out. Give me a break will you, I have the gees gees to sort out, football to watch, a back bedroom to paint, just stick to the facts, I do have better things to do with my time than keep putting you two back on the straight and narrow.

    You know the old saying OC, when the facts change, I change my mind. I'll be replying to 59 soon on why I have yet to change my mind.
