That’s always true though if the virus is spreading exponentially (dunno whether it currently does in the UK).
- makomk 6y agoThis is more true than it would be from pure exponential growth alone, especially the relatively slow exponential growth the UK as a whole currently seems to be seeing (doubling time maybe about a fortnight?) The issue was effectively dropping all results after a certain number from a particular location, so at the start relatively few results were dropped and it was spotted around the time that number started to become substantial. It's that hard cutoff where results suddenly start to be dropped that means most of them are in the last few days.
