My model predicted 8.82 deaths for today for #Covid19Cymru - the actual figure was 8 (total now 1456). Considering the weekend's very low figures, that's a good result (very little bounce back after the usual weekend under-reporting).
It is however notable that the daily average, over a week, has been between 6.5 and 6.9 every day but one for the past week. That's disappointing; it should be going down.

Prediction for tomorrow: 7

I'm (nearly) 60 years old.
How is it that one of my kids is dictating what I do with my life? This is not right!
I have just now been informed that within 3 hours from now I *shall* be at a certain place for taco night.
Well! This is where I put my foot down!! Can't put up with this!
I'm going to shave, dress nicely, and walk for a half hour for some great food and hugs from my grandgirls. Maybe there will be some silly dancing too.

Its a steel enclosure they put around Churchill's status so rioters wont destroy it. Once people stop caring around racism again they figure they can take it down.

What is it?

I think the Kubrick reference will fly over many heads. 😜

Today's #Covid19Cymru figures show 10 deaths (total now 1435). Yesterday's prediction was 6, so that's not so good news. But still, with such low numbers now, noise is a large factor.
My model predicts 7.4 for tomorrow (so I'll take a 7 or an 8).

Today's #Covid19Cymru stats are pretty much in line with expectations. 9 new deaths (as yesterday); total now 1419. The average number per day (averaged over a week) continues to fall, which is excellent news. That now stands at 6.86: the lowest since late March.
My model (which takes account of variation across the week) predicted 7 for today, so only 2 out. Tomorrow's prediction: 6.

Penny Mordaunt is out and about and still making waves!

Government Has Started Planning For No Trade Deal Brexit, Penny Mordaunt Confirms...Our approach is going to be achingly pragmatic

[Huffpost]

("pragmatic"? see George Orwell's 1984 - you know the Ministry of Truth and all that)

Also:

Penny Mordaunt refused to say a ban would remain on chlorinated chicken, hormone-fed beef and other US imports after an upcoming trade deal with Donald Trump.

The minister said she believed “we should be trusting the consumer” on the issue and suggested some people did not want to “put their faith in government” regulations.

[The Independent]

How many times will she, Priti Patel and Suella Braverman get it wrong? And as for the men in the Cabinet...
