[News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

England 391
Scotland 60
Wales 22
NI - NA yet

Looks like around 480 or so with NI included, down significantly from previous Thursdays.

And likely under 200 deaths/day in England now, in reality.

I'm sorry to put this on the good news thread, but I believe that the actual deaths yesterday would have been greater than 771 (meaning a total greater than 36,091).

The explanation is on this thread https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showthread.php?379428-Number-of-Deaths&p=9323910&viewfull=1#post9323910

But the overall the fatality figure is certainly on a consistent downward trend.

They're still on duty in Worthing (pre lockdown) and there was a vacancy at one of the schools.

I’ve a few more years at the coal face first

No this graph shows the deaths by registered date of death. the 771 is a daily figure that includes deaths from previous days. Seeing the deaths by the actual date they died shows a clearer picture of where we are on the curve. The more recent dates will change in coming days as seen by the orange for deaths recorded on 30th

In the spreadsheet here released at 2pm every day

The 771 isn't from the graph.

In simple terms for a variety of reasons, the Government don't have the actual figure of deaths yesterday.

I have been recording the daily Government announced figure against the ONS actual date of death figure released 10-14 days later and applying the same level of accuracy projected forward (split by country). So, up to now, when the Government have announced a daily figure of 473 deaths, it has turned out that it was actually 771 in real fatalities.

This isn't the thread for this but this thread goes into more detail https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showthread.php?379428-Number-of-Deaths/page48

For those in construction, I’m getting emails from house builders who are requesting risk assessments, and availability stock, labour with the provisional start date 11th May. Several council sites in Camden are up and running with a limited work force and tight social distancing in force.

Down to 52 inpatients for Covid at Brighton and Sussex NHS, 12 in ITU. The numbers are falling thankfully.

674 in all settings.

Way down on stats from 2 or 3 weeks ago, whether they be the hospital only or wider stats.

All part of the charm offensive, not impressed.

Lol...i had to do a double take on that...i think we all knew it but glad to hear the powers that be say it because of what comes next

Hoping the source on this is decent;

Serological (antibody) tests from 750 people in Bergamo - 61% test positive.

Oh no. How on earth will we uncover the next generation of entirely pointless celebrity now? I'm appalled.
