MANIPULATING THE DATA

  Lilley:  This past week the Ontario Science Table released two documents to back up calls for further restrictions across the province but both documents, as presented to the public, are entirely misleading either in how the doctors presented them or how the media reported on them.

 So, are we seeing a spike in people in their 20s filling up ICUs? Despite plenty of reporting that makes it sound that way, it isn’t the case.

The rise in people under 60 was predominantly those aged 50-59, they went from 24 admissions to 41 admissions. It’s concerning to see this moving younger but describing people 50-59 as if they are in their 20s is simply not being honest.
