Interesting graphic based on death rates since lockdown despite different start dates...................

The other thing to factor in as well is that the public need to think lockdowns are being used properly by Governments to sort things out. This is why the conversations about testing, PPE etc. matter, if the Government cannot say "we are using this time wisely" then people will simply start saying "well you're not doing things properly, therefore why should I?".The more times you have to lockdown, the more times you are giving the public a chance to think "well hang on a minute, WTF are you lot actually doing about this?", and each passing time will see less and less compliance I reckon.

Very sorry to hear this, our condolences to you and your family
Oh blimey I don't know. I don't think we're looking at anything like enough to consider herd immunity a viable option in the short term. I obviously disagree with the study that suggested it could be 50% two weeks ago - that was clearly absolute bullsh*t.
It's not clear how many cases are asymptomatic, but maybe somewhere around 1 in 5, to 1 in 3. Let's say 1 in 4.
Perhaps more difficult to estimate is the number of cases requiring hospitalisation. I'll start with an estimate of 10% (taken from online reports).
Reported UK cases are 51.6k (with completed tests at of 5pm yesterday). I assume a large percentage of those will have been people in hospital, as that's where we're doing the bulk of our testing. For the sake of making a guess, I'll say they were all in hospital.
So 51.6k in hospital being 10% of symptomatic cases, means 516k total, plus 1/3 (as 1 in 4 are asymptomatic) = 688k. That's about 1% of the population.
That strikes me as very low, I wouldn't be surprised if it was considerably higher than that. If it is, then presumably less than 10% of people are actually requiring treatment in hospital. But 2 weeks after the Oxford report, I still don't imagine it's half the population.
Why, what did it say?
Sorry Frutos
Lucky there was a lad handy to record that.
When was the pic taken - during some lad's school trip a year or so ago, perchance?
It's a little early for me to get my hopes up on that UK figure, but is France's late peak simply a case of the French being, well, French? (by that I mean doing what the hell they want, as opposed to doing what some stupid government tells them to do)
Sort of. I suspect they over-guesstimated the numbers on Friday to cover the weekend, forgot what they'd done, added some made-up numbers over the weekend based on the Friday guesstimate, then subtracted the excess on Monday. It was a simple genuine error of judgement.
Quoi?

They have a reporter and film cameraman at st Thomas’s in the intensive care unit.
It is horrific!
These healthcare workers, and yes I know I am biased as Laura is one of them, but if anyone describes these people as low skilled workers, they can go and f.uck right off
