And what you're looking for is some bits of data that are reported in the same way every day.
So the most important data we found is that's useful is NHS England's reporting of hospital death data on the day that it occurred.
Yeah.

It started to go up and it was going up and up and up to about the 1st, 2nd of April.
And it was going up in a sort of trajectory of going like, oh, we're going into an exponential curve.
And then it started to flatten.
And it's flattened out around about 700 to 750 deaths per day.
