"No 10 fails to commit to resuming publication of global deaths comparison chart in daily slides
Andrew Sparrow Andrew Sparrow
The Downing Street lobby briefing has just finished. Here are the main points.
The prime minister’s spokesman refused to confirm that the government remained committed to publishing its usual daily slides, including the global deaths comparison chart. The government did publish slides yesterday, but not the usual ones including a slide showing a global deaths and another showing transport use. The spokesman said he could not say whether these slides would be used again. The government would be showing slides about the roadmap to recovery, he said. The transport use slide was moderately awkward for the government because last week it showed a small but steady increase in people travelling at a time when that was not being encouraged. Here is the one from Saturday last week.

But ministers were particularly embarrassed by the global deaths comparison chart. Even though it compares countries that compile their figures in different ways, and it gives total deaths not deaths per head, it looked damning because it showed the UK as having the worst death rate in Europe - and, as the days went on, this became more prominent. Here is the chart from Saturday.

The Govt were publishing comparisons while they were using Spieghalter's Guardian article defence that death measurements in different countries were not comparable. AIUI, he specifically told the Govt not to use his explanation, probably because he has a political axe to grind, so the Govt might say - why publish the data then.
