Because #science, bitch.

The #Covid19Cymru official figures show 0 deaths in Wales in the 24 hours to 7am this morning. These are Sunday's figures, so that's not an especially encouraging figure, though clearly it's good when compared to the extraordinary (and still, as far as I can tell, unexplained) figures of the past five days.
Total: 1565
7-day Average: 2.29 (cf 0.29 a week ago)
Govt assures us figures are still going down and that test-trace-isolate in Wales is being very effective.
Time will tell.

Needless to say this doesn't look good. I don't have an explanation at the moment, though it seems there are particular problems in north Wales (Betsi Cadwaladr health board) which accounts for all 3 of today's recorded deaths. Could it be due to tourism perhaps? Though Wrecsam (not a prime tourist destination) seems to be worst hit in terms of new cases.
Total now 1565
7-day average 2.29 (cf 0.29 a week ago)

Sometimes I worry I may make a post like this too often, but each time many people learn and boost, so I keep doing it.

The politicians who talked Trump's troops out of Portland and Seattle before they found an excuse to kill someone are Big Damn Heroes, having saved more lives than we can imagine.

Not for the first time, it seems that Betsi Cadwaladr health board (North Wales) have messed up the stats. We have 5 new deaths reported today, which would be extraordinary if there were not an explanation. According to @LloydCymru@Twitter these deaths come from the past week. There's a problem in Wrecsam area at the moment, and that's the likely origin.
Total now 1554
Total in the past week: 6
7-day Average 0.86

This is really interesting. They colorized a photo by overlaying some lines in a grid and ONLY adding color to the lines but oversaturating the color. The rest of the image is black and white.

The result is that at a distance or in the thumbnail it just looks like an ordinary color photo. It is only when you look up close you notice what is going on.
