Just to clarify that, that’s 2.44% of ALL people tested in the UK have tested positive. Now it’s up to us all to keep it that low

Yeah man nearly a 200 increase

strange- thats the magic "33% per day" trend that everyone else was seeing. Its the same in Ireland too. Maybe Coronavirus HQ sends an email out when it hits 33% telling everyone to pack in for the day.

Funnily enough the same as Italy were seeing up to the first 1000 at which point it exploded.

Fair enough I respect your opinion, I have the opposite opinion though, as do many many members of my family who live there!

Well in fairness you can hardly call out own NHS excellent though appreciate that experiences all differ.

Still way below most other European countries in terms of cases/1M population. The question is, will we continue to follow the same upward trajectory.

It’s nothing like Italy our first reported case was actually before them and we manage far better to identify those with the infection. They had another 2,000 today and that’s still around 25% increase

It will increase just we need to make sure it doesn't explode

whats that, about 200 today or have I got that wrong

300 was at 498 yesterday wasn't it

 

[shmmeee]

Will be over a thousand tomorrow. At current rates that 4/5k this time next week and over 10k early the week after. Still on course for Italy numbers...

You can't really say that with any accuracy as the levels of testing are so different between countries.

I explained this yesterday. Their cases took off sooner and we only had a handful for a couple of weeks. We’re now on a growth curve that will take us to their numbers in around a week if it doesn’t slow down.

They had 2000 today? So their growth rate is ~13% and ours is ~25%.

590

590 yesterday - United Kingdom Coronavirus: 798 Cases and 10 Deaths - Worldometer

Yeah it’s tricky. Even if you take testing numbers into account there are different testing profiles. Some countries only those in hospital, some at airports etc.

More like 2.5k, which is 20% ish

If we can't win the league can we at least win the Corona leagues?

No the growth rate is 22%

Oh absolutely, it's no more than a guide. Norway is second only to Italy on this metric, but you suspect their testing might be more thorough and/or accurate than in other countries.

Who’s growth rate?

From what I can see we have a few games in hand over Italy

Thats worth an automatic Prem places and a spot in Europe.


For example if the cancel the league. What happens to Bolton. Surely they would have to have a points deduction again.

Are you now accepting we have similar growth rates after arguing against it yesterday?

I reckon this should be the default text added every time Nick locks a thread.

italy

So just below ours then. Are we still completely different to Italy?

Official confirmed numbers are kind of irrelevant now as they said yesterday actual numbers are probably somewhere between 5k-10k already, could be a lot more I’m guessing and no doubt a load that have had it without even knowing.

Key is protecting the elderly and those with pre existing respiratory conditions and therefore minimising the number of severe/hospitalised cases

No I’m saying the rate of climb here is very different due to better containment which has yielded much lower numbers. No one seems to acknowledge that most health experts are fairly consistent that containment is largely impossible and that all that can be done is to manage health services for those who need it and that 90% of those infected will not even be troubled by it. In the end global containment is impossible and people cannot build up immunity without significant infection - no one can answer why school closures is good it’s an horrendous strategy

Exactly the official deaths from swine flu was 18,000 but in reality was more like 400,000 Italy will have at least 100,000 cases already

You’ve just said their rate is 22% and ours is about 25% based on the figures I just looked up so how is their rate of climb different?

Nobody is not acknowledging that containment is impossible just that our governments plan for it is different to anyone else.
