Data showing rising cases before second lockdown quietly revised down
Office for National Statistics data which helped persuade the Government to force England into a second national lockdown in November has been quietly revised down and now suggests that cases were largely plateauing at the time. Data released on October 30 suggested the incidence of coronavirus in England had more than doubled from 4.3 per 10,000 on October 2, to 9.52 by October 17. However, the latest bulletin, released on December 4, shows the incidence rate for October 17 is now just 4.89 — Telegraph
