Am I right in thinking we really need 4 numbers for each territory to
work out what is going on:
a) Numbers infected - which we will probably never know.
b) Numbers diagnosed, which we do know a lot of
c) Numbers diagnosed who are hospitalised, isolated, etc
d) Numbers diagnosed who die
Clearly all these figures are affected by the contexts in which they are
collected. UK seems to be about to stop collecting b, and just tell
people to isolate themselves. Not clear if anyone will count them.
Is there any good place to see these figures?
