So much for 20,000 17:33 - Apr 22 with 4344 views | Mercian | I was horrified when I heard there would be an estimated 20,000 deaths from Covid19, it seems we will reach that number this weekend. I can see it being closer to 50,000. |  | | |  |

So much for 20,000 on 10:05 - Apr 23 by gordon | This is also really interesting, for all the people referring to demography on here - an R-squared of 0.02 means that there isn't a significant relationship between population size and growth in deaths. |
I think there are so many factors at work here that trying to correlate to single influences is a bit simplistic. I'd also have more faith in that chart if the China and India figures weren't part of it, as their massive populations, as well as the potentially dubious accuracy of their numbers, places quite a big bias on that graph. I'd contend that, that graph is wrongly titled as well - your description as linkage between pop and growth in deaths is far more accurate. |  | |  |

'Correlating to single influences' is a pretty important part of science! The data aren't going to be particularly accurate from lots of countries, but the pattern isn't going to be much different. |  | |  |

He has a point, I am a recovered cancer patient but still need to go for a check up in Derby hospital every 2 months. I have not had a check up since January and have been told it will be June/July before my next check up. The cancer was reasonably mild in the first place and I am not overly worried however there are many others in a lot more danger of it returning than myself who are also having appointments delayed. |  | |  |
