Chris on Solent radio? I listened. Silly cow.

Thanks man. Makes sense. But the deaths are obviously not on par with Italy... Right?
Absolutely. One of my good friends has had one confirmed case where he works. They've all been in contact with him and multiple clients have closed down but they are still being told to work. Crazy in my opinion.
Yeah her. Arrogant old bat.
I didn't know this until today but the Italian government are monitoring cellphone connections to see how many people are moving between cell towers. Today it was 37% of total connections so that gives you some idea of how many people are still working during these days of near total lockdown. It was 26% on Sunday.
Yeah not being a dick but you don’t know more about this subject than me.
Is that normal or high? Considering the circumstances
I hope that you did it on purpose.
Think somebody was asking for these figures earlier on in this thread

It's not. I'm still working and we are in no way essential to the public. It's actually beyond ridiculous that I'm risking my safety for this...
Hancock's at the wheel.....
In fairness just announced new testing centre opening in Milton Keynes which is good news for long term and overdue.

Wonder if Chris Witty is self isolating, his deputy been on these press conferences since middle of last week.
We're slightly under percentage wise. Still a shit show.
Can't see them hiding that info. The public that are not taking shit seriously need a rocket up their arses.
Lower than the previous week apparently.
Case numbers have just been released and are slightly down for the third consecutive day, but there were a lot of deaths (743).
Good luck America. 
The sooner this is under control the sooner the economy will recover. It's all this fannying around that has taken this long. If they had done lockdowns end of January and tested a lot of people who came from outside this would have been under control by now.
743 dead in Italy today... Oh i was thinking the curve will go down or at least flatten a little
everyone's an expert after the fact, of course.
Obviously the jump in deaths is horrible but it doesn't quite look as bad of a jump as I thought it would be today. It's such a weird situation being as we're not on total lockdown and we have people in this thread saying that they're being forced to go into work, that the tube is still packed etc.
Hopefully this stops the moronic posts about GOOD NEWS FROM XYZ based on one or two new data points and the lesson can be learnt.
The number of dead is the least relevant for tracking the progress. First it's active cases (to assess healthcare capacity), second it's progression of new cases (to track containment measures), and deaths are last because there's not much you can do about them barring improving the first two.
@TMDaines see above in relation to your comment. Deaths make people sit up and notice but they are the least important of the 3 measures to the government trying to bring it under control here.

Great one. Did you create this ? Is there a number for US and India as well ?
You're sitting on a toilet with no toilet paper left aren't you?
You'll end up with a lockdown similar to here or Italy; in a way I understand the staggered approach, but the converse of that is I think the stagger is too spaced out.
Yeah the numbers at this point are never going to be uniform and they'll be random little trends that no one can explain.
It is slightly down from yesterday and is the third day of decrease for new cases but obviously the situation is far from good.
Can't believe that there is an ice-cream van outside my house. Self-employed, I guess.

Deaths are always going to trail the infections.
Nope, deaths are a consequence of the number of cases. People discovered xy days ago will be dying today. What we should be looking at are new cases.
Both no. of deaths and no. of new cases in Italy rose today from yesterday according to worldometers. 5249 new cases today compared to 4789 yesterday. 743 deaths compared to 601 yesterday
Sorry to hear this. Hope everything goes well.
I think the number of new cases is again down from yesterday, which makes it the third day in a row. It probably is a trend.
The number of deaths at this stage does not show too much. That is the people who got infected 2-3 weeks ago. The number of new cases (providing that enough testing is being done) is the most important metric.

Same thing happening near my apartment (not in NYC) too, it makes no sense.
The numbers are not increasing as fast as they were which is a start.
There's also not a lot of data points.
Mi ha rotto il cazzo
I'm definitely keeping that one.

No PM today?
