    It’s never really been a lockdown given that you can go outside

    About 5% increase. Falling slowly.

    Bad as they are, and every death is a grieving family, they are most certainly not huge.

    Ever notice the way that when the figures are really bad they are released after the Six One News?

    It's not a coincidence

    Numbers very low from Germany today.

    Can we read that the backlog of 30k sent over has pretty much been cleared?

    Not really. Cases are falling. Deaths are disappointing but its still relatively stagnant in terms of daily changes.

    The variance between male and female is not as stark here as in the UK where it's now 2:1 ratio

    For a small country like ours, 43 deaths seems huge.

    It does look like the virus is next to non-existant outside the care homes. We will need a fairly thorough investigation of nursing homes after all this.

    A sad but inevitable reality of Covid-19. Hopefully the numbers start to fall from here, one death is too many.

    This is beaten, bar in the nursing homes. We need to start moving on and throw huge resources at the nursing homes - something we should have done at the start.

    Did they give a breakdown of how many of those that died were in residential care?

    Unfortunately, as TH says, appears deaths are comparatively low in the general community, but extremely high in nursing homes.

    The death toll is going to increase significantly because of the nursing home clusters, I’m not sure why people are surprised by the death toll today

    Where is there a list of ICU and hospitalized numbers for the past few weeks?

    If the R0 is less than 1 new cases should decrease.

    Yet Harris says we should be careful as new cases are on the increase.

    Am I missing something here?

    The only way cases can increase if the R0 is 1 or lower is from imported cases.

    Yes, my mam and dad are actually in lockdown in Spain now for weeks at this stage. One of them can go out once a day, to the farmacía or the supermercado.
    They don't f*ck around either, my 66 year old mother has been stopped twice by the police going to the shops, and had to explain exactly what she's doing.

    So they can go out. Ive been stopped by cops too. And Spain has allowed non-essential workers to resume work, so we are in fact more locked down than Spain right now.
