Paywall.
I make a Caca right, I understood that the numbers in recent days were increasing by a similar amount (so a decreasing percentage rise), not jumping up at terrifying speeds?

That first chart doesn't make good viewing. We seem to have less cases, but that because we're not identifying them.

Re: Coronavirus
Agree Ron, we should have gone into lockdown some time ago IMO. Pubs and other gathering point should have been shut weeks ago too.

Streets of Notting Hill starting to look like those few days before carnival when all the poshos f*** off to their country homes for the duration. Only this time they filled the range rover with half the supermarket before they left.

Re: Coronavirus
We appear to be tracking Italy's death rate by about 14 days. This time two weeks ago they saw one of their first big leaps in deaths, with 133 in one day. If the same happens here tomorrow or Monday then it suggests we're on the same trajectory. If fewer die then maybe we're doing something right. Here's hoping.

The USA appears to be on a much worse trajectory than Italy.

Re: Coronavirus
My son runs a pub and said the same thing. It was party like it's 1999 night. It never fails to amaze me just how stupid and selfish people are.

Re: Coronavirus
Many innocent and vulnerable people will pay for this in the next few weeks.
Testing and social distancing appears to be working in Ireland. I know it's early days but here's hoping.

Re: Coronavirus
The problem with comparing these figures is that the amount, frequency and place of testing is always going to distort things. We are only testing in hospitals with vastly more people having the mild symptoms at home and not being reported. Whereas other countries have tested more widely in and out of hospitals.

Boris has killed British people with his lack of understanding and leadership.
I don't say that lightly for some sort of political advantage.

Re: Coronavirus
How does that explain them having 5 times more cases, but half as many deaths?
(Which my maths makes our mortality rate 10 times higher than theirs?)
