Latest UK figures in context

Wednesday's total number of deaths is 31% higher than yesterday.

It took 17 days for the number of fatalities in the UK to pass 200, and has taken a further 11 days to pass 2,000.

The number of people tested in the UK for coronavirus has passed 150,000 - the total by 9am on 1 April was 152,979.

Around 8,000 new people on average were tested a day in the seven days up to 1 April. In the previous seven days the daily average was around 5,800.

The total number of confirmed cases in the UK stands at 29,474, as of 9am on 1 April. A week ago, the total was 9,529.

(Only people in hospital are being tested,i think,not sure those getting tested privately are counted in the figures)

Unfortunately, it's rather too easy to see where this is heading. Plotted on a log scale, exponential rise is a straight line as shown.



The hope (prayer) is it may start to tail off at some point soon.

you just have to hope this is the mistakes of a few weeks ago coming through and that the measures since will help to slow it down in the coming weeks.

In other news, those sidebar adverts are interesting aren't they. Google analytics obviously pigeon-holes me into a certain demographic.

Business Secretary Ashok Sharma drew the short straw for tonight's briefing. Alongside is the director of Public Health England - they'll be relieved press questions are online. London way out in front on the infection/death curves with the west midlands catching up - the UK 'tucked in' under the USA on her graphs. .....

That looks more like a medieval torture device.
