The charts are really useful

ACitizenErased · 13-04-2020 06:06PM

Tony said we need to remember the large increase today does not indicate growth. Percentage growth is still decreasing significantly. Really good graphs.

Yep, not sure why the new cases are not dropping at this point - oh wait I know why...

There's no curve flattening with our current numbers even with lockdown restrictions

Nearly half of those are delayed test results from Germany. Not reflective of an actual daily figure.

I have two friends in nursing homes the nursing homes are being destroyed by this

ACitizenErased · 13-04-2020 06:08PM

Was anyone able to see the growth chart he showed? The percentage looked quite low.

expectationlost · 13-04-2020 06:08PM

527 is a lot

Possible. But personally I think 99% of people are doing their best.

What on earth are you talking about? The media and alarmists like you go on about little else.

Ask a random uninformed reader of this thread what % of the deaths here have been among over-65s. Will they say 90%? Which it actually is?

Might have something to do with the CMO not ordering lockdowns in nursing homes.

Yes there is. We've flattened it considerably.

Tandey · 13-04-2020 06:10PM

31 dead today as a result of this virus is awful bloody awful in this beautiful country of ours.

Feel very sad for the families affected and their loved ones who have perished. R.I.P

Testing has a huge amount to do with it they are having residents die before results are back. At the very beginning staff also hadn’t ppe

Pure b*****x. Mostly people are complying. I had to drive 30 miles today on a main route and i probably met about 4 cars.

UK press conference confirmed that care homes are not included in their figures. They said thay are included in the seperate ONS figures but these are only updated weekly and, anyway, are a week or so in arrears.
They also said that the true mortality rate will only emerge when there are statistics for "total mortality" from all causes and these are compared to pre-Covid figures.

Anyway, some international perspective on the Care Home issue:

Have to say I expected the numbers to start dropping by now. Just shows how contagious this thing is.

No one wears a mask when they go shopping so I don't understand why people are expecting the numbers to drop

Rvsmmnps · 13-04-2020 06:11PM

Can people just not stress over the new cases. It's an absolutely pointless number. The end of this is much much sooner than you think.

You forgot to have a dig at people who went to Cheltenham.

You need to watch the press conference. The CMO reiterated the growth rate is down significantly. The German cases occurred many weeks ago.

You've missed the point. It's gonna get worse but it would have been much worse if we did nothing

Live on a main road. Roads the quietest they have been since the outbreak

Terrible as it is, what we are witnessing now is close to the best case scenario.

You're being naive at best, ignorant at worst.

Well if they weld the doors of nursing homes shut, like China, it would half the death rate.

Correct 90% of deaths are over 65 but 66% that end up in hospital are under 65,

Young people are not listening - how is it so many are ended up in hospital compared with the old? 3 people under 34 that have lost their lives - but yet everyone says it only affect the elderly is BS

I'm not sure. Today's figures may be a bit distorted due to the holiday weekend. If you look at 4 and 5 day averages (of deaths - I think there is little to be concluded from the pattern of test results), they have been levelling off at the mid to high twenties for 5 or 6 days now
