Not that it matters, but all but two were over 70+ with underlying health issues, if I heard correctly.

^ I do agree, but what over 70 doesn’t have underlying health issues? Not many I would guess? And also, it’s dreadful to me to think how many of the idiots who didn’t bother and thought they were hard not worrying about ‘just flu’ have infected their older parents or grandparents. Horrible really.
Also, with Mother’s Day just passed and so many ignoring the rules, it could get even worse

This number has come from an extended period I believe, possibly 9am to the following 5pm.

Two tweets explaining the numbers yesterday and Today....

I read somewhere that when Italy went into full lockdown, a lot of the rich living in the North moved to their holiday homes in the south. This could explain the spread.
Don't know how to embed tweets, but this is from DHSC https://twitter.com/DHSCgovuk/status/1243237215511220224
To ensure data can be verified and published in a timely, consistent way, we are moving to a new system for publication of deaths.
The latest figures counted from the previous day (for a period from 5pm-5pm) will be published at 2pm the following day.
Yesterday’s figures did not cover a full 24 hour period while we adjust to the new system. These figures [the 43] comprised the period from 9am 24 March to 5pm on 24 March [ie: 43 in 8 hours - which would be 129 in 24 hours].
Figures issued today [113] are recorded as of 5pm 24 March to 5pm 25 March.
So.todays is a full 24 hour period where yesterdays wasnt
Yep - great swathes of people fled the North to their second homes in the South before the lockdown...................
I see this has been covered above. Sadly not an extended period, but rather yesterday's low figure was a shorter period.

No. Today's figures are for the 24 hours ending at 5pm yesterday. So, at 2pm tomorrow, they will announce the figures for the 24 hours to 5pm this afternoon.
Mind - these are the mortality figures, the tested positive figures are still 9am-9am.

Above link takes you to site where you can get a daily number of deaths, infections across the whole of Italy. Choose from the blue box on the map, some Google translate maybe needed, when new map loads you see a timer, move this with fingers and the totals and areas are shown.

This was from Italy yesterday, the Protezione Civile chief Borrelli, the person usually holding the daily press conference, is at home with a fever, while the former chief Bertolaso is now hospitalized in Milan after having tested positive to the virus

4,772 new cases in New York Today, 6,618 tested. Deaths have come down as well.
13,685 new cases today alone in USA. Trump still confident that come Easter they will be back to normal.
