On Saturday, Florida (21M population) reported 11,400 as its daily new cases.

The UK’s come a long way, Trump’s US moving in a chaotic opposite direction.

Tweet from Prof...Monday’s tend to be low ..but even so possible adjustments will be from a low base

RIP the 16

16 reported fatalities today, compared to 25 15 38 55 111 on previous Mondays.

352 new cases recorded which is by far the lowest number we have seen for some time.

There is no question that the presence of the virus is reducing and fast. Let's keep it that way.




Also Leicestet average infections continuing down even before any ‘lockdown effect‘

Must admit I have not looked into it much - so could be wrong.

But it seems from what little I have seen it is entirely possibly the lockdown in Leicester was a flexing of Gov muscle showing what they can do.

Judging from the figures I’ve seen I’d say that’s entirely possible ...guinea pigs

The dropping off of numbers - deaths, infections (despite numbers being tested) - is almost bizarre - but hugely encouraging. The wailing around VE Day, BLM marches, hot weekends, beachgoing etc etc has simply come to nothing in terms of additional infections. I can't believe this is purely down to lockdown/distancing - I'm becoming more and more convinced the virus is fizzling out, or weakening to the extent it's no problem for the vast majority.

Yes - 2m long. I keep swinging it round to keep people away. Just been chucked out of the Co-op though

Evidence emerging that it's possible that Covid19 was always around us and something has triggered it. Wouldn't say this is 'good news' but if proved it allows better awareness of how viruses can emerge.

I assumed it was a bit of a practice run, trialling the concept of local lockdowns.

I'm feeling similar. Thinking super saturday and pubs etc reopening is the acid test now. If there is not a spike this time.those who have been predicting doom after VE day, BLM etc will be looking like the boy who cried wolf. Itll be incredibly difficult in 3 weeks time to maintain lockdown of any form if there is no spike
