We have a figure of 40,000 total viewers for the first 2 episodes

Okay, George, let's take Doomcock's figures at face value...even
though he himself said that they were unverifiable, and hasn't
mentioned them since (he's only dealt with the UK numbers since...and
as you know, those /are/ verified).

 I don't know what happens now but, back in the Day, Some small portion
of the population (maybe 0.1%) would actually be surveyed as to what
they watched on their T.V.'s, how many in the Household watched, the economic standing of household members, etc, and these numbers were multiplied up to give 'population' numbers.
 Is this still, effectively, what happens in Britain and Ireland??
 

No it isn't. The sample are all given set top boxes which count what they watch and how long they watch it for. As little as 10 seconds counts as a view.

If so, I could understand why it might take sooooo long for Disney to
come up with a number for the rest of the world.

Disney are not publishing the figures because the viewers for the programmes on their service are virtually non existent. The same goes for every other streaming service. At least Amazon Prime offers free next day shipping and even same day and before 1pm shipping if you spend over £20.
