Not totally disagreeing with you P, but her words were “decreased” which was not true. “Remained steady” would be accurate.

Also, stats require three data to draw a trend, so this was just the start. Officially covid cases are trending up based off of the last three reports, and we will need two more points before you can say it trended down and our actions were effective.

My irritation is not just with Dr. Johnston but the whole of experts and world leaders who have been commenting on this situation by saying “the data shows…” when they clearly have no understanding of what is required for statistical analysis. And these people are supposed to be telling me on what to do? Leadership is at an all-time low in this country across the board.
