  • Should be a must for all citizens!

    The Covid-19 episode was just sublime , there any many articles out there quoting figures, very useful having statisticians give their view. Would be great to have an update after say a month, where you look at some of the figures/countries you discussed with latest information such as Sweden compared to Norway, Belarus etc
