Of course not.

They’re managing expectations. If they came out and said this is going to last 3-6 months minimum and they’re going to keep on ramping up restriction on day one, there would have been uproar.

Agree with that. They haven't closed the schools here, but the schools are doing all learning online anyway so 80% of kids are staying home.

Doesn't each Monday's figure see a jump? Like it's catching up from the weekend?

Yesterday's was also lower, but I take your point since Sundays have seemed to be a fair bit lower generally.

They are reporting deaths from the day before but they are the ones reported the day before, not actually those who died the day before.

It means that many from the weekend dont actually get reported until tuesday.
