165 cases reported on Wednesday
102 on Thursday (they said the data was "incomplete" on Thursday so that should be discounted)
130 reported today.
So even ignoring yesterdays cock up by PHW Wales the daily rate is today lower than on Wednesday.
Being reported by Wales ONline as "another rise in positive cases across Wales".
Again - how is 130 more than 165?
And you call me pedantic

When we are told that there are say 183 new "coronavirus" infections in a day does that mean that all of them are Covid 19 or does that figure also include other strains of coronavirus such as the flu, the common cold etc?
If you have a test are they only testing you for Covid 19 or are they testing you for any coronavirus?
Perhaps somebody who's had a test could clarify that please?

nowhere near enough information out there on so many things.. and nobody asking the questions, or allowed to ask them..
my first question would be ... how many preventable deaths are the government prepared to accept in their attempt to keep covid infections down... ive seen figures that blow the number of covid deaths away...

Had interesting chat with new cancer patient this morning! If he wasnt so persistent he would not be getting treatment today because his Gp and hospital didnt act on scans he had, covid has taken over the nhs and this is not isolated either...... but unfortunately any cancer deaths and other deaths wont be highlighted only referred to as covid related deaths like now!

Drakeford's reaction? Following Boris and Sturgeon in imposing tougher restrictions and making face masks compulsory in all shops.
Might as well all just stay safe in our houses for the rest of our lives and forget work, socialising, ever seeing friends or family again except over a video link.
Wrong
The latest figures published on Thursday show that there have been 19.5 infections for every 100,000 people in the last week in Wales - a significant rise on the low point of just 3.7 in mid August.
Which part of my post was wrong?
Was the fact that there were a third less infections on Wednesday than there were on Tuesday wrong?
This bit "Yesterdays figures show a decrease in new infections in Wales"
They have gone up not down!
So it was 165 new infections on Tuesday and 102 new infections on Wednesday and that's an increase?
I knew I should have listened a bit better at maths in school though I suppose I should be grateful I was actually able to go to school when I was younger.
Perhaps I should have been clearer and said that there was a fall in the number of daily infections from 165 on Tuesday to 102 on Wednesday - am I still wrong on that?
PHW had an error in reporting yesterday, expect a higher number today.
I've said it on here before but giving a public platform for conspiracy theorists and covid deniers is dangerous. Please take your information from reliable sources.
reliable sources like fullfact.org ..........
What?
We get it you exclusively read the Daily Mail, calm down.

Daily hospital admissions tripled in England in the last month, thats how it starts, as there is a delay in hospital admissions, then deaths.
I know both sides of the arguments, and it's not as bad as some people make out, but it's not a hoax or as safe as flu either.
