A statistical side note for the Phinance Technologies humanities project for all those who like to debate the number of angels dancing on the head of a pin.
Is there an equivalent data series in the UK? I keep hearing that the over 50s have left the labour force post lockdown and aren’t coming back. Allison Pearson at the DT thinks it’s because of work wokery but I smell something more sinister.
That PIP data resource is fabulous - have I got some juicy results rolling out or what? Fingers going as fast as they can to produce an analysis for the UK every bit as alarming as the US.
I couldn't resist! It's a wonderfully imaginative approach and I might try doing the same for the UK if I can find the data. Yes, I saw that point and it's a good one for we are not looking at a rigid time series. Sometimes experts disappear up their own brain!

I've been wondering this. I need to have dinner and a drinky (or two) then have a scour tomorrow.

UK analysis coming out the oven at 06:00UTC!

I’ll set my alarm
Cheers!
Thanks very much.
Not sure if you saw, but the authors made this very reasonable point back to me:
As the adverse effects occur over a wide and variable period after dosing, a cumulative series is more informative.
