You’d have thought that they would have had decent testing kits for the testing kits.

Unbelievable.
All the reasons why our medical people like Professor Whitty are providing exceptional guidance and caution to ensure mistakes are not made and when we do purchase the equipment to try and resolve this Pandemic it is the right equipment that works.

If this is correct, I'd love to know why we're on a lower trajectory - have we done anything different, or is it just down to cultural/demographic differences?
I suspect we won't find out for a while. There's going to be tonnes of interesting research to come out of this in the next 5-10 years in a range of fields - not just virology/epidemiology, but also economics, climate science etc

One potential way that I read it is that we locked down/started social distancing at the point when it looked (based on less data) like we were following Italy and Spain - it has since been borne out (and we will learn more as to how true this is every day) - that we appear to be on a lower trajectory, so have almost locked down a bit “early” compared to some other countries.
This should buy us time and hopefully help us stay on top of the number of ICU cases as much as possible.
Some of Italy’s horrible numbers in the last week may be in large part due to the massive breach of ICU capacity over there, added to demographics, climate and culture.

Yes, and if he needs to go to ICU then we have Raab to lead the country.........
I said this a couple of weeks ago, but the sheer number of ‘celebrities’ who seem to be getting this suggests that it is already far more rife in the general population than we imagined. Hopefully that gives some hope of there being a degree of truth in the FT article the other day that suggested many of us now may be immune, which would surely allow us to return to some kind of normality sooner than we had hoped.
Fingers crossed, anyway.

Zing!
Could also have been:
“I’m shaking hands,” Johnson said when asked how he planned to handle visiting dignitaries.
“I was at a hospital the other night where I think a few there were actually coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody, you’ll be pleased to know, and I continue to shake hands.

Exactly. And unless you're one of the 5,700 of course.

That London doctors have had to set up a Crowdfunding Masks for NHS Heroes to privately buy PPE is beyond belief.....I do hope its 100% genuine as I have contributed
