We're the most densely populated country in Europe and were the least able to adhere to advisory social distancing measures until they were mandatory 7 days ago. It'll peak in 14-20 days I think, and given that today was the worst day for deaths by almost 50% (at 381), 1500 plus is sadly not unrealistic.

I'm not arguing with you J, I just think they are bizarre figure. Are 1500 people dieting due to Covi-19 at the moment?

Quintupled.

 

Just seen how much the figures have jumped by!

 

I wonder if the old bloke in the video is self isolating or is out and about helping and shopping for the local oldies?

For tracking the numbers. It's morbid I know, but anyone that knows me knows I'm fascinated by numbers.

interested to hear your take on germanys numbers? They obviously have been testing a lot. Maybe we are not doomed

It's pure speculation, but based on the trajectory of the exponential growth rate we're already experiencing, coupled with our chronically underfunded health service. Then add densest population in Europe and a general distaste for government directives and 1500/day doesn't seem that excessive. We're already 25% the way there by today's figures.

So, you're making it up. There is nothing to back up what you say.. based on tragectory!, I ask you,? who do you think you are kidding, or are you kidding yourself?

I don't know why you are so fixated on this? A prediction is nothing more than speculation, even in the best of circumstances. Given that we are 10-14 days behind Italy and Spain, and given that both of their death rates are close to 1000 already, I don't think that's it's much of a leap to suggest that our death rate may be higher as we have very few ICU beds, inadequate NHS funding, the most densely populated country in Europe and a population that can't help congregating at the local beauty spots when it's sunny!

 

To counter, why do you not think it will reach that level?

I'm not fixated, you talk nonsense, when you get pulled for it you don't like it, show us where 1500-2000 people each day have diied of Covid-19, if you can't I think it's a load of shit.

Are you of the opinion that China's graph hasn't really flat-lined at all - and the only major honest data is euro and US?

oh come on he's just said he thinks the death rate will increase from the current 400 odd per day.
