I think that its almost inevitable that they will be for the next few weeks.

Sadly I think you're right.

Almost double tested positive compared to yesterday so, so assuming the criteria to be able to get tested hasn't changed, deaths are going to be increasing for at least the next two / three weeks

That's sort of where I found the graph I'd liked before.

Lockdown was only approx a week ago - symptoms can take that long to get to the point that anyone needs hospital treatment then another possible 1 to 2 weeks there.

The next period will tell where we are.

Testing really needs to be ramped up dramatically, particularly for frontline staff otherwise a lot of them will be self isolating when it's not fully neccesary.

Couple of weeks since Cheltenham and of course 1 and a bit week since the fuckwit weekend happened. A lot of results and deaths to come from those 2 occasons alone

Plus 60k inside Anfield (including 3k folk from Madrid)

THere are some interesting things on the .gov website if you do enough digging

They could test negative then go to work and catch it the next day.

I think we all new it would be coming but it doesn't make for pleasant reading.

I'd hate to be in a position where those sorts of decisions will fall on your shoulders.

Which is why the antibody test to tell if you have had it is vital to get out to the frontline staff as soon as possible (even though there is no clear indication yet that if you have had it once then you will have some immunity)

The Business Secretary Alok Sharma is on Press Conference Duties today.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They could - but if they have got it they can't work full stop

They could test negative then go to work and catch it the next day.

"On March 30th, PHE UK tweeted out "Latest figure for number of tests conducted is 8,278, on 4908 individuals in England (accurate as of 9am 29th March)."
"..... It seems that the number of people tested is *potentially* about 60% of the number of tests carried out. "

Yes, appears the Germans are ahead of the curve on this one. I pray millions have already had this because if it continues there won't be much of a world left to go back to . Hopefully we don't revert to 1929. Mid you there can be no more Jarrow Marches - laws against those gatherings now. Too much hatred and blame in the world.

I think economic worries can wait until we actually stop dying from the infection. There is then going to clearly need to be a significant period of either retrenchment and rebuilding or worldwide governmental acceptance that national debt as a wartime percentage of GDP isn't actually a complete disaster area. Capitalism is going to have to change a bit.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

have been reading some scary reports regarding "asymptomatic carriers" if that's the correct way to put it. seems that a lot of these people are simply not getting tested, and are busy passing it on without knowing.

They can just print some more or borrow it. I agree with you - the time to worry about economics, GDP, national debt, interest on debt and the rest of the bollocks is long gone. Capitalism is fucked up.

i heard a 5 minute traffic update earlier, how the fuck is there still a 5 minute traffic update these days.
neighbour, a self employed painter and decorater is still out every day doing god knows what.
And the traffic on my main road is still steady currently..... car every 10 secs or so.
