Whats with the Clare Craig graph? It has one section where the time scale increases from an every two days increment to a 365 day increment, then back to the two day increment. See the dates change from 1/1/2020 to 1/1/2021. That’s right before the huge spike where the elevated murmur increases at the base right before the spike. I’ve never seen a time increment varied like this… ever. That’s weird. Why not just keep a standard timeline. It will still show the same general result.

I understand that one year increment period 1/1/2020 to 1/1/2021 shows a statistically greater death rate than the few days prior. That’s very interesting actually, especially when seeing the huge spike right after that elevated level.

But what was going on in the graph at the very beginning? What’s that spike?

Again… context is needed.

I am using UK notation for dates -day/month/year. They increase by two month increments.

Thanks! That’s a simple clarification. How a cultural difference can lead to simple misunderstanding 😂😂😂

Indeed!
