Good post, Some people have nailed their colours to the government has fucked this up mast. Let’s hope these better than expected figures are indicative of a better result then had been projected. Fingers crossed.Come on people lets at least try to be positive when there is a big drop in deaths. If there was a huge rise people wouldn't be talking about being a blip, but a sign of how badly the government have handled it etc and how it will be 2k a day by next week. Last couple of days stats have been relatively good, the NHS is still coping and new cases has levelled off. We are making progress and if we keep going in the right direction may start to see some restrictions lifted by the end of the month.
Edit: Posted at the same time as the post re. Pep's Mum :(

A tragic outcome for his, and many many others at the moment isn’t it. I think Catalonia has been hit particularly hard hasn’t it? :-(

Hey hey, we could be out of lockdown before Tesco's have any delivery slots!
Austria announces plans to end lockdown
The Austrian Chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, has said the country is planning to let smaller shops reopen next week, with the aim of reopening all shops and malls from 1 May.
From then onwards, hotels and restaurants will open step-by-step from mid-May at the earliest, but a decision on that will come in late April. No events will be held until at least late June.
Kurz told a news conference that since Austria had acted earlier than most countries, that gave it the ability to reopen shops sooner as well.
If all goes well, it will reopen non-essential shops of less than 400 square metres and DIY shops on April 14, followed by all shops and malls on May 1, he said.
Meanwhile general lockdown measures will be extended until the end of April, and schools will remain closed until at least mid-May.
Kurz also announced that from Monday, face masks will be compulsory on public transport.

Looks like they managed to get a grasp of it quite quickly. Heres hoping they have a plan to mitigate new cases.

Domalino has given a bit more info below but I assume that most Countries exit plans will be informed by a a reduction in the growth of new cases and maybe behavioural science advice on what the impact of a lockdown might have.

Hope you are right. Would just caution, however, that I think last Monday saw a lower death figure only for it to be followed by a substantial rise on the Tuesday. Perhaps it's harder to collate the data on a Monday. The next three days should give a clearer indication.
