That's correct, but you was quoting the chap who is talking about total cases.

With the high blood pressure thing is it due to the medication or the condition? Seems to be very uncertain...pretty sure I've
Hang on I think we're talking at crossed purposes here. I'm just trying to highlight that based on their mass testing they have found more than 50% of cases are asymptomatic. So 20% is very unlikely.

The interesting stats i can see today is around the deaths per million of population, the UK is one of the lower figures.The next few days will be critical.
Just looking at some stats and it appears that Belgium had their first case a few days after the UK, they locked down really really early in terms of deaths but still have twice the deaths per capita as the UK, or am I missing something here?
I see, then I guess the next best thing is easy testing? The question is then that how far are we from developing a cheap affordable test that can be done with or without laboratory conditions. There's a company based in pune that claims to be capable of manufacturing screening kits for 1000 rs, thats like 10 pounds. Any news of cheaper kits?
Feels like the UK is at the top of the rollercoaster now. This is going to be a very tough week for lots of people I fear.
Well if you want to get properly pedantic, was is actually the correct use of the term. I was talking about a statement of fact, rather than a subjunctive mood. However this thread isn't the place for educating.
Do you need the government to tell you to wipe your bum too?I know you meant well, and I mean as well too. I'm just doing exactly as Government advised.
My sister works at UCL hospital and is tending to ventilated patients right now. I asked her advice hours before my flight, and she told me as per Ministry of Health, my requirement was work from home and isolation/distancing as other's UNTIL I noticed any symptoms, and then strict quarantine. I've read the website after I landed.
Forgive me for only listening/reading to official sources and not a person from internet who thinks he is a pigeon
would common sense not tell you that it’s not a good idea to go straight into mingling with other people after a 14 hour flight back from Asia?
yes the advice is not down in writing but they are appealing to people to stay home unless absolutely necessary
He’s breathing
Erm.
New cases here in the UK seem to be going up rapidly over the last few days but nobody seems to mention it, up by around about 2000 today.
While it is not that difficult to compare the number of the last days for a country and see if there is still more or less exp. growth, I think this visualization is by far the best I have seen so far.
That could be attributed to the fact that more have been admitted and tested, the recovery rates will be the data point to read over the coming days in line with that case number.
Testing more.
The Caribbean too.
The combination of exponential growth + more testing means it would be freakish if new cases weren't increasing rapidly.
A good chance Italy will pass 10,000 deaths today. And if not today then on Monday.
UK passes a 1,000. Hoping records catching up and/or change of recording rather than an upsurge

A total of 120,776 people have been tested for coronavirus in the UK as of 9am on March 28.
We're still tracking roughly two weeks behind Italy and 9 days behind Spain.
The curve was showing very small signs of starting to flatten. Then had a bump in last day.
They reckon it's because virus is picking up in centre/South of Italy so while North (original epicentre) slowing, rest of country kicking up.

You're right, it isn't quite at the peak nor is it declining but it should soon. However I know people in here and the media will focus on the 10,000 deaths. I've been following the Italian situation so the numbers aren't really that surprising for the most part. I think it will reach 15k, maybe 20k unless the decline happens soon or happens suddenly.
Haven't we been testing roughly 7 k a day for the last week or so ?
The DHSC tweet says 120,776 tests rather than people. That makes me think that at least some of those 120,776 were re-tests (which makes sense, given that we need to re-test in order to know when somebody is finally healthy).
But then the same tweet says that there were 17,089 positives. Should we be assuming that some of those positives also came from re-tests? Or have we had a grand total of 17.089 people with the disease? It's a little unclear.
EDIT:Scratch that. The official site says it's people.

I don't actually think I'm a pigeon you know, to base your entire argument on that is a bit daft. It's also daft to not use a bit of common sense when you can go two weeks without showing any symptoms. I know it's difficult for you to understand that because, as you've already asserted; you think I think I'm a bird.I know you meant well, and I mean as well too. I'm just doing exactly as Government advised.

It's EXTREMELY daft to get so uppity about the whole thing as well so I recommend you spend a couple of weeks thinking about why you're so defensive all the time on this forum. Preferably indoors and maintaining six feet of distance between you and others.
Six is the number after you've counted all the fingers one hand, just in case you're struggling. Again; I'm not an actual bird. Please try and remember that.
It’s more so him stating we need draconian measures etc, asking for manslaughter and premeditated murder charges, it was quite an emphatic stance to take. But then hes returned from a country that was put on the high risk and gone out shopping straight away. Wasnt anything to do with what you’ve said.
Hello Birdman!
Put some respec on his name
Doesn't think he's a pigeon. That's a good one.
Less tweeting. More posts please.
Mr. Birdman*
The UK is one of the most heavily surveilled countries in the world and has been for years. 1000s of private companies have access to "personal" data like this:
South Korea were just more competent, prepared and proactive in dealing with the threat than the UK were, nothing to do with culture. Doubly so for the US.
If you have a ventilator, you are completely sedated for comfort. You are in what's called in layman's terms "medically induced coma" . Can't do anything. Applies for pretty much everyone on vent. Some (very few) do ok without sedation and so can communicate and even participate in physical therapy. But that's once in a blue moon.
