COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Zombie apocalypse to add to the Corona apocalypse?

That was the promise of I am Legend. A dreadful Flu Pandemic made far far worse by a rushed out vaccine that didn't work properly and turned people into Zombiesque Monsters.

I’ve not seen it, but we seem to be heading that way if a few posters on here get their wish for scientists to rush out any old vaccine ASAP

1355

Must be highest anywhere in a single day that

 

[squirtyflower]

1355

That’s quite a spike

 

[BlueAnorak]

That’s quite a spike

Not quite as bad as thought as it is descibed on Worldometers as follows:

including 884 fatalities in nursing homes that occurred over a period of several weeks and that were announced only today. NOTE: If and when the French government determines the correct distribution of these additional deaths over time, we will adjust historical data accordingly

So only 471 today. Dropping a touch.

It is but the USA might have more through the night. Those French deaths today go against all other trajectories and opens up the possibility of a lot more deaths than predicted.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Those deaths in France today are gonna send shockwaves around the world.

Just seen this +1,355 Jesus Christ.

EDIT: I see it may not be as bad as first seems.

In that case can you be really careful when quoting a figure

Right, so the underlying trend seems to be downwards or similar to the last two days then.

I did wonder if it might be something to do with that. Everyone will be waiting on tomorrow's figures to see if it was a blip or the new reality.

So really it’s under 500?

 

[purplenose]

America is royally fucked, India is even more royally fucked.

exactly. Depressing how many latch on straight away almost gleefully.
Wish people would be at least a bit sensitive posting numbers without reading into it.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

That’s quite a spike

Figures higher due to adjustments.

2116 new cases and 1355 new deaths in France, including 884 fatalities in nursing homes that occurred over a period of several weeks and that were announced only today. NOTE: If and when the French government determines the correct distribution of these additional deaths over time, we will adjust historical data accordingly

Yeah it looks like it's including recent deaths from nursing homes in one go.
