No. This is not acceptable. The methods section is the single most important part of a scientific paper. If those details are relegated to supplementary materials, then it's not a scientific paper in a scientific journal.

@Pouriaaa I am so pleased to see this! You and the whole team deserve the gratitude of the whole country

The @NewtonGateway is running a 3-day virtual study group next week with 3 challenges from @anducnguyen @HardingProf and @StatsRegulation realating to how complex mathematical work is communicated and propagated. Still time to register and get involved: https://t.co/9JRSphfyzI

@ONS Graph of the ratio (just for England) of 'official' incidence estimates (new infections) from ONS to dashboard new cases 5/5

@ONS ..then the previous week, and despite the error margins, that must surely be a real and large increase (in early March). 4/n

@ONS I think this is probably because of reduced testing in the community, and I think it means dashboard trends (up or down) in new cases are not such a good indicator of infection trends as they used to be. The ONS estimates for the most recent week are almost a million higher.. 3/n

@ONS You'd expect dashboard cases to be smaller because of missing many asymptomatic infections, but until mid-Jan, ONS infection estimates used to be about 2 or 3 times the dashboard new case figures for the same period. They've been rising since, now about 8 times dashboard. 2/n

Similar pattern on incidence (new infections) in this week's @ONS infection survey results as last week. Total modelled new infections for latest week available (ending 9 March) from ONS is about 3.1m, with wide error margin. New cases on dashboard for that week about 380k. 1/n

@ONS ...it could mean that some of the recent increase in dashboard cases is because of more testing than real new cases (though I'm sure that most of it is likely to be real). 4/4

@ONS ...margin of error) and the dashboard has about 250k, so survey has 8 times as many. Not just rogue week - the proportion has been changing in that dirn for over a month. Presumably because people aren't being routinely tested &/or not reporting LFDs. On the bright(?) side.. 3/n

@ONS ..been about 2 or 3 times the dashboard confirmed case figures for the same period - not surprising they are bigger because the survey much more likely to pick up asymptomatic cases (etc). But for the latest week of modelled estimates, the survey has about 2.1m (with wide... 2/n

Today's @ONS Covid-19 survey results show something interesting in the incidence (new cases) estimates. They are always behind the positivity estimates for technical reasons - this week they go up to 26 Feb with modelled estimates up to 2 March. Historically they've usually.. 1/n

Has something happened to the @Eurostar Android app? I tried to save some tickets from it to Gpay, nothing happened. So I tried to check on the Play Store whether there was an upgrade, Search for Eurostar revealed nothing, and links to app on Eurostar website said URL not found.

My strongest possible agree with this piece. And then even more times ten. The ONS has improved from good to excellent in the past 5-10 years. On regional statistics. The website. The accessibility. And it overachieved enormously during Covid.

@ONS ...But vax rates a lot different too. In all English regions but two, according to the Govt dashboard for 29/12, between 50% and 60% of 12+ have had 3rd jab. Same for Wales and NI. SW England is 61%, Scot is 62%. London is 38%.
