One of the most insidious #DataViz tricks (or even #gaslighting!) is to mix data from pre-#SARSCov2 years into a _moving average_ with data from #CoVID era.

No, thank you very much! I'd like to see a difference in the measured variable, not have exactly that potentially visible difference smoothed over.

#UKHSA's #Norovirus & #Rotavirus report for example, differentiates them correctly: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/national-norovirus-and-rotavirus-surveillance-reports-2022-to-2023-season/national-norovirus-and-rotavirus-report-week-9-report-data-up-to-week-7-19-february-2023

They basically do the same that I did. They estimate a #SyntheticControl based on binary treatment classification of areas from where tests were dispatched to #Immensa lab.

Its funny how their and my figures a year later are so similar.

It highlights: data access is a key barrier as they had slightly better data. But this was entirely avoidable.

In fact, I did launch a #FreedomOfInformation #FOI request last year to request the data that the #UKHSA team was using...

Now that FOI...
