The "official" government daily figures are off by around a factor of 6 or 7 times. The ONS figures are more accurate but have a delay built in, the Zoe figures correspond quite closely to the ONS figures and are available on a daily basis.
Unfortunately the Zoe figures don't give the numbers that the government would like to see...I'd hate to think that's why they have been defunded.
Well it looks to me as though this is exactly the reason for the defunding.
The official line that covid is done with and becoming endemic, we have to 'learn to live with it', the cancellation of all non-pharmacological interventions, the withdrawal of free testing for the masses, and the signal sent by 2,000 of our nobility having good ol' sing-song in Westminster Abbey on Tuesday are all pulling in the same direction, yet that naughty Zoë study is telling everyone the opposite. Why would our politicians not de-fund it?
