COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[domalino]

No, it wouldn't, it would simply make the overall peak higher.

You can keep saying that but it doesn't make it true and if you think it through you'd realise that.

If you infect 1000 people on one day, you will get a spike 19 days later.

367 deaths today, looks like the dip in numbers has caught up with itself and so a much much higher number today

393 on skynews site

Brilliant!

Fortunately I don't have kids. I'd be a crap Dad and a right soft touch. Talk is cheap on a forum ;-)

Its dreadful but these kind of figures were going to come.

Perhaps its me but nothing shocks me anymore. Its clearly shocked some, its going to get worse I am afraid.

It is going to get to the point quite quickly where the numbers become more or less irrelevant, Unless people are personally affected then there is little comprehension between 15000 deaths an 16000 deaths.

There are some difficult times ahead.

Of course its horrendous but people should not be shocked as we`ve all been told what to expect.However if we reach the figures of 1000+ a day then thats when we need to get extremely nervous.

Who says we shouldn’t be shocked, you. I’m shocked wether you or any else likes it or not.
I’m not stupid, I know what they say, they say a lot. Agree totally if this increases at today’s rate of growth I’d be very nervous. Your opinion is valued but telling me when or not to be shocked is not on.

In the UK, on average around 1400 people die each day.

How many 'extra' deaths a die are occurring due to COVID-19? I wonder if there's figures on that.

Deaths per day is in line with the same time last year and actually a lot lower than the rate at the start of the year. Doesn't make good news though.

Dreadful rise in both cases and hospital deaths today. We're ertainly on the italy/Spain/France escalator at the moment.

Then again the figures in Belgoum an Holland are the worst there can be given their populatiovs.

No you won't. However many times you deny it, you're still mistaken.

And there wasn't 1,000 new infections either.

People aren't on the roads so the death figure will be well down

What are you on about? An average of 5 people die on UK roads a day hardly going make any difference at all.
