Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Of course, Phineas has gone now, what with the Boer War and everything.

Shame, I had many great nights drinking with Phineas.

Reggie, The King's College mascot, found himself stolen, emasculated and lost almost without trace over the years. However, he didn't give rise to any signficant controversy, as far as I am aware.

Future of Phineas Maclino unclear: uclpimedia.com

What was the outcome of the consultation?

Looks like the latest cockup on the stats may explain some of the "long tail" in the English fatality figures.

Grayling must have been involved if they managed to cook the books and get a worse outcome !!!

It's a small issue, probably less than 20 extra deaths per day too many in the count. Doesn't materially affect any analysis of the epidemic so far (uncounted excess deaths are a far greater error) but could prove a bit embarrassing in the future as/when true covid-caused deaths drop to lower levels.

Funny that it came up today, I found out about it two weeks ago and quickly worked out it was a small deal at that time - because the expected death rate of all the positive cases, assuming no harm from illness, would be perhaps 20 people per day. Now confirmed by PHE analysis, incidentally. 90% of the covid deaths have been within 28d of diagnosis and half of the remaining 10% have had covid listed as main cause of death, so that only leaves about 2k that might have been incorrectly attributed, and covid will have materially contributed to a bunch of them even if not listed as main cause. So just a relatively small number that shouldn't have been counted.

We shouldn't really be surprised at Johnson's poor grasp of detail. He can't even remember to slip a nodder on when he's shagging his latest mistress.
