The graph was a logarithmic death rate graph, it's not been seen since we diverged from Italy

Here you go

I tried to go back and find the twitter link for the graph but if you search for 'graph' there are hundreds of posts, maddening.

 

[Sick Boy]

That's why i hope people listen here so we can keep some freedoms

Yeah it really is for the best all round!

But that might reflect a massive increase in testing? The figure of critical and deaths is more important I wold have thought, we already know that thousands upon thousands of people have this thing.

As we continue to increase the numbers being tested the most important number is the ratio of those infected to those who die. As time goes on, the impact of the ‘lag’ will reduce and a truer picture of the mortality rate can be extrapolated.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Baffled as to why the number has gone down so much? Is the lockdown/social distancing having an effect Already?

 

[Grendel]

I think I’m coming to end of my second full week of it and not finding it easy and losing track of days and weeks.

Honestly Monday was very hard after realising that I will have to do this until the end of April at the earliest. It’s much more restrictive here and not being able to go outside properly is taking its toll. We have a few tiny balconies which is something at least.

I am hoping that all this will lead to a change for the better within societies though.

The stampede when pubs and bars open will lead to more deaths than the virus

No these people would of been infected weeks ago

It’s a fluke like when people post the very odd case when round people have died it’s an outlier

After 3 months with no real booze my liver will explode

 

[CCFCSteve]

Civil servants have nothing to do with the NHS

Sorry I meant those in charge of ensuring procurement/distribution teams are operating effectively

 

[Astute]

Anybody else starting to lose track of days being locked indoors? I don't have an outside space so just staring at the outside world and working when my alarm goes off. It's really starting to kick in ow difficult the next weeks/months are going to be.

I'm close to 2 weeks. Had a hectic start to the year so was a good excuse at first to be lazy for a bit. But time to be busy now. Batteries are recharged and ready to go.

Looks like I could be working a minimum 72 hours a week most weeks until it is over. Don't want those at risk to feel like they should be at work. Will be donating most of the OT pay to those in need. Had volunteered my services but might not be able to now so just my small part to play. We are all in this together.

Might have a pub crawl round the flat on Friday, go meet the kettle for a pint then off to the shower for a few shots, swift one on bed before meeting the lads by the coffee table, sink a few then out to the tv music channels club. Paint a face on my hand, see if she fancy coming home.

Just in case nobody has seen this off the worldmeter site:

1452 new cases and 43 new deaths in the United Kingdom, including a 21-year-old woman and a 47-year-old man with no pre-existing health

Coronavirus Update (Live): 464,683 Cases and 20,942 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer

What we want is when the figure rises tomorrow for it start to slow so the increase get smaller and smaller

The 21 year is in the papers but not the nhs figures, which is strange

 

[CCFCSteve]

People in London have definitely started to get the message
Plenty still out shopping and exercising but keeping their distance more than before
The problem with the tube is 1/3rd of the staff are off sick rather than a deliberate reduction in service level
Brompton and some cycle hire companies are offering NHS staff free bikes so they can avoid the tube

hmmm I’m still not quite sure about the numbers off sick (I know that’s what they’ve said). That’s a very high proportion though. They were already ratcheting down the stops/stations and trains last week.

 

[CCFCSteve]

There were 1,427 new cases yesterday. That doesn’t suggest its significantly slowing down. The log graph of new cases might be showing a slight slowdown in the rate of growth but still growing at an alarming rate.

If I knew how to post a picture of it I would!

Agree, the confirmed cases will carry on rising for days yet, especially if testing increases and until the benefits of the lockdown are hopefully reflected (in 2+ weeks I’m guessing). I was talking about hoping to keep deaths numbers under control (which will obviously become harder as the total cases rise)

 

[Mcbean]

Had a busy day without any other fucker - treated myself to my last beer but one

 

[fernandopartridge]

I reckon 1000+ cases and 75+ new deaths

Glad I didn't have a bet now

It’s unsettling how we are becoming desensitised to the size of the numbers- over a thousand extra people now have the virus and 43 people died- all in one 24 hour period. But it’s not seen comparatively speaking as a significantly bad day.

Trigger warning: this is the guy who made the graph

Really interesting thread on why absolute and not per capita numbers used here:

It doesn't really exist, that's the problem. Nobody is sitting over the top doing this planning. It's a real mess of conflicting priorities.

I just found out yesterday that I have Corona

It was hidden at the back of the fridge behind the Stella's

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Just looked for online shopping. All major supermarkets near me, either cant get on or theres no slots for at least 3 weeks.

Will need to go out and do a shop at the weekend I reckon. Safe to do so so long as I keep 2m from everyone, wash my hands with sanitizer as I enter and leave the store??

Yeah I'll have to do the same after this week

Have you tried Iceland .
I've got one coming tomorrow.
My daughter set it up but I don't know if she's put me in a vulnerable category or not .
You might find an early to mid evening visit preferable .
Aldi Cannon park only had around 10 in at 5 ish last night .
I know you are Portsmouth way.

 

[Nick]

Yeah I heard Iceland were quite quick as well

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Anyone else think the curve will be a lot flatter but a longer period of time?

Don't make me come over there

Theres no competition when you’ve just had a heart attack or been robbed and the only competition for schools is who can afford to buy near the rich kids. It’s a total illusion. Schools, hospitals, police forces, all work as a system not as individual actors.

i didn’t say I agree with the internal market. Loads of transactional costs (CCGs and CSUs) that takes funds that could be spent on direct patient care. We have had GP fund holding, PCGs, PCTs, CCGs, “World Class Commissioning”, Practice Based Commissioning. Competitions and Merger Authority have prevented sensible Trust mergers because it would reduce local competition. Your statement would be spot on if it had said that schools, hospitals, police forces SHOULD all work as a system not as individual actors.

When this is all over a serious rethink is required.

That’s the whole intention of the current strategy.
