Spanish Nanny's Masterclass In Covid-19 Statistical Manipulation

NEW: much has been made this week of Spain recording zero new Covid deaths for two successive days.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchéz called it "A success for all".

Unfortunately it’s also nonsense.

About the job

Summary

It’s a very rare organisation that can point to its mission as the defining leadership challenge of a generation. With the impact of COVID-19 being felt in every area of public life, the Civil Service in England can do just that.

The unprecedented scale and complexity of this fluid challenge are bringing together leaders from all over Government, and we’re now looking to add to them with the highest calibre professionals.

Whether your experience is from inside or outside of the Civil Service, what’s on offer is a career-defining experience. Your inspirational leadership qualities, fresh perspectives and ability to work on a multitude of emerging priorities will be hugely influential in shaping the Government’s response to the pandemic.

We have Director opportunities across multiple departments, including the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS), the Department for Health & Social Care (DHSC), the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). These organisations have very substantial budgets, complex cross-cutting programmes and a nationwide remit you simply won’t find anywhere else.

We’re looking for significant experience of engaging at executive and board levels, excellent relationship and influencing skills across organisatons, and the ability to work creatively at very fast pace. You’ll need to see ambiguity as an opportunity for innovation and be motivated by the chance to help guide the nation through complicated and uncertain times.

In return, you can look forward to an impressive package including valuable Civil Service pension, generous annual leave and much more.

"At this stage we are unable to say specifically where successful candidates may be posted but roles are likely to be available in a range of departments."

In the old days I would have taken this to be an advert for The Service.

However, we are not  in the old days any more.

Define "Safe"

"Schools should not go back, shops should not reopen and workplaces should not re-start until it is safe."

Well said @HackneyAbbott ⬇️https://t.co/E2fNDCC9kT

Coronavirus Crisis as "global false alarm".

The appropriate response to this: Oops. (Understatement of the millennium.)

— Tim Price (@timfprice) June 1, 2020

There is no such thing as "safe", merely varying degrees of risk measured against the costs of doing or not doing something.

We all have a different view as to what is "safe" and different risk appetites, like it or not the country will move forward at a pace that is too fast for some but too slow for others.

Auntie's Noble Gesture

 

Coronavirus has taken tens of thousands of lives across the UK, from nurses to shopkeepers, doctors to bus drivers

Every day we report the statistics, and latest stories

Today, we're taking time to remember and pay tribute to some of those who have diedhttps://t.co/1CaUhu8ayD pic.twitter.com/B8felrSfv5

— BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) May 21, 2020

I have asked Auntie the following:

will you be doing the same for other major causes of death eg cancer? There are around 165,000 cancer deaths in the UK every year, that's around 450 every day (2015-2017). Cancer accounts for more than a quarter (28%) of all deaths in the UK (2017)
