jda Feb 2021 6:15pm, 2 Feb 2021 9,377 posts	Quote Pin jda I was just going to say the same about ZOE - its just not been that good from what I've seen of it. Don't know if the error is the raw data or their modelling.
Rosehip Feb 2021 6:15pm, 2 Feb 2021 19,553 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip I wonder if the Zoe app is a self-selecting bias. Maybe people who use the app are more likely to go for a test? I hope It's not the case that what they are showing is pre-empting a rise generally. To the 29th, the overall data and most of the regions - as in NW, SE etc show a good downward trend - although some look a little flat. I hope it is that clusters in some more discrete regions are skewing their data.

Ocelot Spleens Feb 2021 6:34pm, 2 Feb 2021 30,083 posts	Quote Pin Ocelot Spleens I like Rosehip's suggestion as an explanation. The ONS survey is the place I look, ok there's a delay but the NHS has good data locally.

Instead of the doom and gloom the Director of Public Health has turned it around on the interviewer and described it as a triumph that we are finding these variants so quickly and theres no need to be alarmed.

Marvin Feb 2021 6:42pm, 2 Feb 2021 112 posts	Quote Pin Marvin OS- And the ONS survey is also suggesting that the PHE data is a bit optimistic? Maybe people too few working age people are being tested. bbc.co.uk

Non-runner Feb 2021 7:28pm, 2 Feb 2021 923 posts	Quote Pin Non-runner Any views on the many European countries limiting the AZ vaccine to under 65s and I think 55s in Germany? Sour grapes at not getting enough doses or do they have some genuine information?
