Because until this week the stat on Worldometer only concerned deaths of hospitalized patients but now that France is reporting deaths outside of hospitals that have occured since late February, Worldometer thought that it was a good idea to put deaths from the last 24 hours and old deaths together, it's a bit misleading and they should have simply changed the total.
I hope they get it under control by then mate. If you have the possibility to go by car that would be a lot better than risking buses like in that article you posted. Maybe the 14 days quarantine thing will be in place in June/July also though. Too early to tell propably.
Jupp, i always drive when going to Oslo. 5 hours from Stockholm with a stop so not worth flying imo.
Is that also the reason they've weirdly added 23k cases to France's total yesterday too?
Either terrible or totally appropriate choice of words at the end there.
Thanks for the explanation.
So slightly confusing reporting apart, and the fact that France have had more overall deaths than the Uk, they could actually be in better shape atm, with daily totals maybe plateauing off around the 500 mark.
Terrible probably. Just a straight translation from what they say where i live.
Small correction, it's 5532 hospital deaths.
Yup, same reason.
That's true to some extent, there were more deaths in March than initially reported, which was predictable, but even if you add 50 daily deaths in March you are still below 500 daily deaths with the last three days being a peak without massive jump.
Thanks, I repeated the mistake from a paper even though I knew that it was a mistake.
Scary stuff. I'm glad I watched it though. He spoke very well and you could really feel the sense of dread he currently has.

Matt lucas doesn't even have to say a word. His facial expressions just have me laughing.

That sounds good. Hopefully it will get even better.
Yeah good luck to all over there. Lockdown has saved 30,000 lives
Wiki has a page but I don't know how reliable it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_testing
I saw a tweet from Folkestone council saying that they have had to give out many warnings today as the seafront was very busy. A family from Bromley (about 60 miles away from Folkestone) had even travelled there.
That's encouraging, hopefully the numbers will decrease quickly. It'll give every other European country a boost when Italy can finally ease it's lockdown restrictions.
Just read that Lambeth Council closed a park after 3000 people visited it today.
One of the ministers who does the press conferences said it was up at 5.6 at one point. Good that its finally hit 1.
What is wrong with people.
I live near Finsbury Park, I don't know the numbers but it was very busy today. People sunbathing, hanging around, swarms of runners right next to each other. I'm sure at some point they'll close it as well
I’ve made the argument since the start that lockdowns don’t work, unless it’s one city and you have the military might of China to enforce it.
Good luck with that considering i haven't been able to buy a mask here for about 2 months now.
I’m a bit confused here. Doesn’t the R0 of a virus mean the natural reproductive ability a virus has and the number of people one person can infect in one interaction? How does a lockdown change that, or any human intervention?
What the feck ? Where is the foking police at?Oslo, Norway; today :
Unbelievable.
Thanks but I still don’t quite understand how reproductive ability of a virus is something humans can change (other than immunity). Wouldn’t the coronavirus still have the ability to infect an average of X number of people (by way of how contagious it is) regardless of how many people are in lockdown? How does that get suppressed?
So in lockdown you can get it below 1? And then how long lockdown before it, as they say “disappears”. Because didn’t this come from one market in China and has now infected millions?
You can use a scarf or something else evidently, you just have to have your mouth and nose covered. It'll soon be required in other regions no doubt, but everyone's doing it here anyway.
The lockdown is a half-lockdown in the UK. There's too much leeway for people to go outside for long periods and to go to any supermarket they want, plus it's not being well-enforced. No-one's been going anywhere here for weeks, it's been that way for even longer where @11101 lives and in the south, loads of people are starving and penniless which is a large part of why there's so much unrest (plus, organised crime).
Exactly...I don't imagine the government is going to give them the masks...so how will they get them?!
You can just cover your nose and mouth with a scarf, according to the President of the region.
well, needs must.
