    you must be totally obsessed with him to be able to first remember him saying that and then to be able to put your finger on the exact quote so easily. I'm not. I have no interest in him, his quote his anything else. It will no doubt amaze you to discover that other people hve said the same kind of thing. But you just pop the all in your 'trump hole'
    I was actually referring to something I'd rad which had been stated by a British scientist. It pretty basic actually, if you test more people you'll find more positive.

    This makes interesting reading.

    Their numbers suggest that the rate of spread of the infection indicates it is now doubling every 16 days whereas at the end of June it was doubling every 7 days. Seems like it might be leveling out.
    But further down the ONS survey for the 7 day period (Which of course is much better a guide) shows that the rate of infection is actally falling. Make what you will from that.

    But of course the ONS might just be down a trump hole or something. Who knows?

    "Leveling out" as you refer to plateauing would be indicated by no (zero) increase in the numbers testing positive from one test period to the next. Clearly numbers are still rising so there is no "leveling out".

    The current R(t) in Wales is estimated to be above one.

    You are so closed in your views on this that it makes me think of proverbial Bukowski quote.

    Doubling every 16 days doesn't sound like levelling out to me.

    better than every 9 days like they said before

    so the curve is not as steep, some might say its the start of the curve starting to flatten

    Yes, better in the sense that it's getting larger less quickly. But that's quite a few steps from levelling out.

    Some might say that now is the time for England to chuck their masks in the bin. Some might.

    That shows that for every person getting infected in Wales more than two are contracting Covid in England. As you say, interesting reading.
