Sorry, you're right. We are ahead of where Italy was at the same time, but our number of deaths is growing more slowly than Italy's was. IF this holds, the streams should cross soon.

That's what I'm anticipating.
Although I'll add that I'm purely going off of my gut feeling.
Absolutely agree. Strangely, I've found myself eagerly awaiting the daily conferences - provides a bit of 'comfort' in an odd way.
Not sure why!
Oh, OK. FT was paywalling for me yesterday, but now it seems all COVID stories are open. Here's the graph:
Well, we're a bit over 33% daily increase in deaths, so most likely any slowdown in the increase in death rate is just regression to the mean 😿
Isle of Man reporting 13 cases as of today, from 1 on Thursday. Scary to think how it will sweep through the Island.

That's as an average so far, but for the last few days we've been way below that.
In any case, I don't understand why Italy has become such a strong point of comparison, when the situation in Spain seems much worse!
Coronavirus: Teens held for 'coughing in face' of elderly couple
A woman in her 70s was left with a black eye after a fight broke out when a man tried to help.

Scum gonna scum. I guess they'll have to come up with an effective fine / penalty / sentence / whatever for this.Coronavirus: Teens held for 'coughing in face' of elderly couple

I think it was because a few days ago, we were trending close to Italy. So, that's the most obvious comparison as to where we might be heading.
Who knows though: maybe most people are listening and we end up flattening the curve? Hopefully the trend continues to decrease.
I read earlier that there was a COBRA meeting after the normal days work. I didn't actually check if that was true, mind.
Jburnmurdoch deaths over time graph, updated daily
fyi the guy who makes the graph posts it on twitter every day: https://twitter.com/jburnmurdochOh, OK. FT was paywalling for me yesterday, but now it seems all COVID stories are open. Here's the graph:

Most shops and offices are still open outside London as far as I can see, it would make a huge difference

I don't think we should use China's numbers, we have no way of knowing how accurate they are, especially near the start of the epidemic in China, when they were trying to hide everything.
ah okay thanks
i've a feeling there will be big things happening today but who knows
There's no evidence that China hid deaths at the start. I think those claims should be treated as a conspiracy theory quite frankly. China has a lot of experience dealing with public health emergencies such as SARS. They also built two hospitals in two weeks to deal with the epidemic. It's not that surprising that they have a lower mortality rate.
Ty. I've followed him!
but then we hold Mother's Day, and perhaps infect a lot of elderly vulnerable people
Do you mind if I threadmark that link? (For old people like me without twitter accounts)
Japan also has experience dealing with SARS. There's also a culture of wearing face masks in SEA countries. Basically, countries in SEA were already prepared for this kind of emergency because it had already happened to them before. This virus is unique because it's more fatal and has managed to spread globally.
I was given a letter today from a gas company in the south west saying the country could be going into lockdown tonight and for me to hold onto the attached letter when out and about as it recognises me as a key worker to the gas industry if I get stopped. Might just be precautionary but wouldn't just wave it off.
Why would they give you a letter for that purpose when you have staff ID?
Do you have proof of the letter? otherwise this sort of post is scaremongering..
We don't have staff Id and we are the main supplier of their supplier.
Coronavirus bill powers will be reviewed every six months (after concerns from both sides of the house), rather than the 'lasts for 2 years, report every 2 months' in the initial document. I'm glad of this, it's something I wanted to see discussed today (on top of an immediate lockdown).

Yeah I'd rather not take a photo of a letter that can be traced back to the company I work for but I don't condone scaremogering of any kind I'm not about that shit. Like I said maybe just precautionary in case the worst happens. Our boss was apparently informed by our local Tory mp
He wont walk out and give people 1 hours notice? or you mean he is making a statement at 8pm
HMRC is handling wages it going be based off past 4 or 8 weeks then averaged out. I'm self employed under the Paye umbrella and just been informed about it.
I'm sorry, but this is incredibly suspect. What kind of company doesn't issue their staff with photographic ID? Never mind a gas company. How do you get into your office without a pass??
I don't work for a gas company or in an office, I work for a supplier that is seen as a key business for the gas industry.
Can't screenshot it at the moment but here's a link to the tweet: https://twitter.com/DHSCgovuk/status/1242145605604032512

The Bill should pass into law by Thursday and today's post-Cobra meeting statement will probably be a primer to prepare the public for the inevitable.
