Rt data source comparison #2

Hi Rob,

Just read your other preprint (same issue with the code link here as well) - nice to see the methodology behind the estimates. Thought I would point out this preprint (which was led by one of my colleagues, Katharine Sherratt) might be interesting to compare findings.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.18.20214585v1.full.pdf

If interested we have automated publishing Rt estimates each day (for our site epiforecasts.io/covid) for admissions, test positive cases, and deaths: https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/CCE4XT

It would be really interesting to see a comparison to those generated with your pragmatic approach.

Would it be possible to update the paths in your paper code to be relative rather than absolute? It makes reproducing a bit of a hassle.

I also couldn't find a reference to the uncertainty upscaling in the preprint, is it still in use? Could you point me to the paragraph if so?
