Quite scary numbers when you consider that we're only testing people deemed severe enough to be hospitalised. That means a further 2000 serious cases today, and we're only getting going :(

Yes those were the numbers.

Regards air freight, there will be much more air freight capacity than manufacturing capacity, so that's not really a problem. The bottlenecks will be the latency in setting up the production lines and then the line capacities. We'll be able to fly them over as fast as they can make them.

I think they've got the whole ventilator thing wrong, unfortunately. They should not be looking for people to develop new ones. They should be sharing existing, proven designs with companies that can manufacture the parts and send those parts to other compaies that can assemble them.

It’s confusing the way that is presented but the Guardian has tried to explain it if you look on their live UK blog. Today’s figures are for more than 24 hours and include some that were excluded from yesterday’s very low figures. Add the two together and divide by two. Tomorrow onwards will be back to straight 24 hour figures.

Think the consortium announced today are building a current design under licence its just Dyson who are developing an unlicensed product.
