Can anyone who understands statistics with regards to covid infection rates understand why the rating, which used to be from 1-10 in severity is now calculated at 1-20?
It's especially frustrating because she is one of the best sources of information - but I have never seen the information clearly explained for lay people, I cannot read the charts, & there is no alt-text.
All that research effort, & utterly useless to me.
In the old days of consistent 'NS - 1 in 19 infected', 'NB - 1 in 23 infected', 'Canada - 1 in 21' infected', etc., that made some kind of sense to me.

I would, but it's just too late in the day for me. It doesn't start before 9 pm our time. My devices are turned off at 9, so that I can settle down for the evening and actually sleep as I'm such a hyper person. Ha ha. @CuriosityCat@DenisCOVIDinfoguy
I did see that - there wasn't room to explain, but it's what I meant by 'consistent' reporting in the old days - there was a breakdown by province & then Canada as a whole. It gave a good sense what was happening where you were, plus in the adjacent provinces in case there was a lot of cross-province traffic to think about.
Especially helpful when there was an outbreak somewhere; NS might be okay, but Quebec off the charts & skewing the national average.

If you manage, please let us know how it goes and encourage Ms Moriarty if possible to post on here. I know she's busy, so I understand, but she has a profile set up but just doesn't post to it. @MoriartyLab @auscandoc@DenisCOVIDinfoguy
@CuriosityCat
It's automated and she wouldn't see responses, nor can we see what she's responding to on there (unless you have an x account, which I no longer have), which can be frustrating.
Bill Comeau is the same. Grr @MoriartyLab@auscandoc@DenisCOVIDinfoguy@moriartylab
