11 athletes dead out of 27,017 reported cases and 2,077 reported deaths. Those were prominent athletes.
It doesn't make sense.

It looks to be done by councils. For Greater Manchester you get one for each of the 10 boroughs.
They could have been doping, for all we know.
Professional athletes are concerned with performance more than health. Whilst it's true that those two things often overlap, they don't always. Particularly with athletes operating at the extremes.
Make sure whatever you buy is sealed.

At least a small rise in deaths.RedSky, I can't retrieve the US data you added to the table, it's stuck in a quote.
Partly because the chances of said group getting a smack for said behaviour lies somewhere between slim and none.
That isn’t for England is it?
It is. I was surprised also.
Well that is really good news!
I don't see why people fall for these clickbait articles. What do two American academics know about the UK's situation and policymaking? Next to nothing. Just because you're an expert in one thing doesn't mean you're an expert in everything.
I haven't really paid any attention to Iranian numbers because i think they're a load of rubbish. I know in Italy nobody under the age of 30 has died, in Spain something like 5 people have and most/all had pre-existing conditions, and in China it was an equally low number. That's about 75% of total deaths so it would be peculiar if other countries start showing wildly different statistics.
Having said that, plenty of people in those countries would have died had they not gone into ICU. If Iran and other countries can't provide that they will have different numbers.
I got one of these these texts from 3 today
The stats for UK are taking a different path to Italy and Spain in the last 4 days. Italy went up by 600 in the same time the UK‘s have gone up 230. It is encouraging but let’s not get excited yet.
Our President wrote us a poem. Good lad.
No chickens counted here. One day at a time.
It should have been, 'Careful Now'.
Spain were around 400 at the same stage.
Deaths are unfortunately among the least relevant statistics at this stage. Good to see a low figure as it means less people died today, but it's the growth of new cases that is most important at this point.
Totally agree. Keeping fingers crossed it’s not a one off. All credit to NHS staff.
Why is it? New cases is dependent on the amount of testing done. I think people want to see less dead people as the most important marker.
The same stage as the UK are today? According to that table Spain had 1813 deaths at the same stage
Definitely. Good news, though.
I think it's been several weeks since the handwashing advice first started being transmitted. It definitely seemed to take hold in a lot of people, from what I recall. Hopefully we're seeing the start of something good.
But it'll take a couple more days of levelling off before I start getting optimistic.
Landed Doha from Phuket.. Very quiet, feels like safest place on planet! But it is 1am. Great service from Qatar Airways so far and Phuket airport was also amazing in terms of hygiene protocols.
Read some terrible reports about Heathrow in UK media today so fear Heathrow covid19 protocols won’t get close to Phuket or Doha airport. Hope Heathrow have sorted out their act by now
Flight is abit surreal. You’re very conscious on covid19 threat, but then get into a movie and forget. But then you suddenly remember about the real threat of infection because you’re wearing a mask.
Inside the mask heats up so feels like nose and mouth are in a permanent sauna, while rest of body is normal! Very strange and annoying sensation!

I’ve been counting since when those countries hit about 200 cases because that’s when the exponential growth really exploded. Handily Italy and the UK were both on 233 at one point.
My guess is that it would more be to do with logistical factors, demographics and the general health of populations, more those type of things.
Total cases are important because they show whether the control measures are working to slow growth.
Active cases are important so you can see how close to your healthcare capacity you are.
People dying is obviously a big deal, but for measuring the pandemic they're not especially useful at this stage. Death rates are sheer chance until we develop treatments for it, but if the cases grow the deaths will follow.
Great work from the NHS. High fives all around.
Yeah. We need more days like today.
Did you eat and drink, swiftly lifting the mask though?
Yeah I know feck all about the details of this Oxford model but it does seem pretty suspect. One for the epidemiologists to argue about!
What’s the news from Italy today?
Deaths much more relevant than cases in the Uk, where they’ve done a fair bit less testing per capita than a lot of other countries.
Deaths are highly dependend on the demographics (mainly age) of the diseased population. Get a care home infected and you have a dozen new cases on that list.
Yeah if you only test really sick people then those people not dying is a big factor.
Slight improvement again but still not out of the woods.
Active cases reduced for the fourth day in a row and total new cases are on a slight downward trend too.
I just wanted to query something regarding social distancing. If a family who is in a house visit another family in a house, and both go no where else, can they still catch Coronavirus if they are going straight from house to house e.g in car and then out of car. Just had a query from someone when we were discussing but didn’t have the answer so just wondered what people thought. We were discussing how the virus could be caught.
Right OK, I see. By my reckoning that would still have put Spain on 638, somewhere between Italy and the UK.
Much closer than the other table though.
Personally I'd start it nearer the 100 deaths mark myself, which would put Spain at around 900/1000 which seems to reflect what's happening to them.
Only time will tell though.
It's good for headlines but it doesn't tell you much about how the outbreak is progressing, and that's what everybody should be worried about most at the moment. Deaths are never talked about by governments in terms of controlling the outbreak because you can't control them. As long as the testing criteria remains constant it shows you the trend you are in and that's what is being studied.
Yes, it's a stupid idea and against the rules (in the UK) so tell them to forget about it.
