COVID-19 — Coronavirus

I hope that those talking about the U.K. doing things right are proven to be correct, I really do.
I certainly wouldn’t be going off figures released so far to claim this is the case though.
You are just at the start in real terms and the next fortnight or so is the time to make a bit of sense of the statistics.

if you were to pick two countries in Europe which had to adhere to strict rules and you would guess would disregarded them, which would you pick?

The former: Sweden and Austria
The latter: Italy and Greece

but point taken!

Probably won't really know for a year. It's likely to rear its ugly head again down the line.

I’m hopeful Spain has reached its peak. We’re now 13/14 days into lock down and it looks like two consecutive days of reducing deaths. I hope this is true because the country needs some good news.

The UK is still 2/3 weeks away from its peak and their peak will last a lot longer based on the current situation. The numbers this week have been (surprisingly) very positive despite the obvious tragedy enfolding.

I agree, it’s only a short-term pattern, which is why (as ever) I chose my words carefully, but there are some (relatively speaking) positive signs.

I’d be staggered if Chris Whitty called it significantly wrong. He’s words should be taken at face value imo.

There s been a new rule regarding anouncing deaths as family consent is now needed could be the reason for the delay.

I know that I and others acted on wearing a mask and gloves, social distancing and isolating (even though I haven’t needed to isolate due to no symptoms) before the government told me to; because I saw what was happening in China, Iran, South Korea and Italy.

I already washed my hands regularly before this.

Im worried about what last weekend’s big jolly-up will do to our numbers in the next week or so though.
