The UKHSA dashboard has been 'refreshed'. This is what it looks like now. 1/6

The first thing I want to note is that the refresh has broken all the links on the Covid PCR positivity map. Please note, the data is still there; it just requires a bit of work to get it easily accessible again. 2/6

The map itself is still working fine, and displaying the correct and up-to-date positivity for each area. But you can't at the moment click on the name of the county to see the underlying data for each area. We'll fix that asap. 3/6

But the second thing I want to note is how misleading this 'refresh' is. The front page now shows flu, RSV, and covid side-by-side, like this. But look at the metrics. They're not the same as each other. 4/6

The dashboard is not comparing like-for-like. It's apples and oranges. Flu and RSV are uing positivity %, but covid is using cases. 5/6

Here's what it would look like if it were being presented honestly and transparently, using the same metrics for all viruses. (and I haven't even gone into the different y-axis for RSV...) 6/6
