    Fitness test change?

    Confirmation received from RAF recruitment that the PJFT has been reduced to 90% of the in service levels with a view that someone reaching this level should have no issue meeting the current in service standard. We'll see how that goes I guess. The lower standard is purely for the PJFT and day...

    Fitness test change?

    This was the same table from 18th Feb with the previous requirements. levels have since reduced and time required for run has increased.

    Fitness test change?

    Not been able to find anything which indicates a change is on it's way for those already in. Would be interested to see why the entry standard has been reduced. Especially when the year later they'll be expected to go from 8.06 to 9.10 for 17-29 male.

    Fitness test change?

    Have had it brought to my attention that the recruitment page is showing different pass levels than usual for the msft element and was wondering if this is the best kept secret and levels are changing for all or if this is just a way to get more through the recruitment door? I've checked way...

    Suppression of the facts to manipulate a large proportion of the population. Sounds totally acceptable...... Reality is in not so many weeks the exit plan will most likely involve the gradual release of those who are clearly at a significantly less risk to the disease in order to get things...

    Lockdown is here

    I had noticed in a few places they had changed wording slightly on a number of things. another common one they interchange is whether these people died "with" or died "of" COVID19. It's interesting to see how different outlets and different types of media (newspapers / online / youtube) etc...

    Lockdown is here

    This isn't a personal vendetta btw my original annoyance was at the media for not making the stated information clear. Yes the daily deaths are the number of "newly reported" deaths they have received in that 24 hour period, no arguement about that. But reporting it as though those deaths have...

    https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/COVID-19-total-announced-deaths-11-April-2020.xlsx They release a new totals spreadsheet around 2pm each day. This uses the information from the daily deaths announced to update the death total for each given date. The...

    your post, made on saturday, number #97 on here ends with Meanwhile nearly a thousand people died yesterday. That day was Friday 10th. The number of people who were confirmed to have died on Friday 10th (information correct as of yesterdays reported figures) was 115. This number will...

    Lockdown is here

    I'd be inclined to say that the vocal minority on social media view it that way. I'd like to hope that the majority are actually interested in the facts of the issue, especially considering the quite unprecedented restrictions being imposed on people. Defending misleading information based on...

    Actually they do get added. Every day when they release the new daily stats they update the "total" spreadsheet as well. This gives an accurate**(in terms of the data they have provided) representation (based on the most up to date information available at that time) of the daily death count...

    To be honest until (if we'll ever is another matter) know how attributable the virus was in a persons death the numbers mean very little. If we tracked how many people died that ate weetabix that morning and we published statistics about that, you'd never eat weetabix again. Thats not to down...

    To me it's important that the information is reported as accurately as possible in a manner that isn't exploited by the media for scare mongering. For me it was important to know how they were reporting the daily figures and understanding why the "daily deaths" weren't actually occurring in a 24...

    So how do you connect this with the numbers for the last few days, which show a bigger total than for the 4th April. By using the information from the NHS's own website...

    Lockdown is here

    Just a point about the last part of your post, because i was also under the impression that the daily deaths number meant that this number of people had died in that 24 hour period. This however isn't correct. In England 866 people were newly reported as having died during the reporting period...
