@KBQWrites @ElyKreimendahl It's funny how that tracks how we age. I remember 9 30 or 10:00 as a perfectly acceptable start time for hitting a bar or meeting up with people. Now I get edgy if it's 9 00 and we're not "heading out now, nice to see you"
Total COVID deaths show clear peak on April 8th, then steady decline. Deaths in care homes plateauing around 17th April. CQC data has strong reporting artefacts, but likely that care-home deaths now similar to hospitals, and declining at a slower rate https://t.co/8FiDNC4924
When calculating inequality gaps, e.g. in income, categorical data are essential.
To work with these data `perccalc` as an #rstats package to estimate percentile gaps helps. Find more info in the recent paper by our research scientist @cimentadaj https://t.co/PuciJOSWR3
