    Never suggested anything of the sort.

    However, the media is using mortality rates of three different socio-demographic make ups for their headlines.

    Perhaps rather than using those stats to create a fear mongering headline we could drill down a bit deeper into the numbers and use that information to tailor an a more reasoned approach other than people are dying quicker here than Italy.

    Hopefully after the Cobra meeting we will be told we are locking down. Two days ago we had the same deaths after 14 days as Italy and now we aren't quite as bad. They will be quashed much sooner if the government did more.

    That's odd because I've just heard in the news that we have MORE deaths than Spain and Italy did at the same point

    16 days on from death number 1 we are 128 behind Italy after being level on 233 after 14. Still sad how big the daily numbers are in Italy, but I hope they are taking some comfort from the back to back daily drops.......



    For quality of life we are 12th and Italy 21st......

    The worry is when numbers reach nothing will it come back again when life goes back to normal.

    I thought we were quite a way behind but they definitely said the opposite on the news which made me think there had been a big jump

    I have just seen this statistic which is sobering as the number of U.K. cases accelerates up the curve: 14% of Corona virus cases in Spain relate to health workers. I am by no means a fan of Bojo but he is quite correct in insisting on draconian measures. Some people will just not listen. A number of these may die but they will ensure that plenty more people will die prematurely.

    Where have you seen that people are dying quicker here than Italy? I was under the impression our death numbers are similar but a fortnight behind. In fact everywhere I look that’s the same bloody story.

    After our figures for today we are 209 behind Italy at the same time around thirty odd percent less. We aren't thankfully as bad as Italy but we are terrible compared to Germany.

    Don’t take one days figured to mean anything, the trend over time is very close. (Ignoring their early growth spurt that we didn’t suffer)
    And to create a percentage based on one day in the midst of an exponential curve is mathematically massively misleading.

    I saw a quite astounding statistic from a professor of epidemiology. If, as at present each infected person infects 2.5 people, in a week that means a chain that leads to 500 infected. If that is reduced to 1.5 persons infected the 500 drops to 15. If that is happening we could see a gap opening up with Italy, if we all follow the rules

    We won't see any difference in our trajectory for a couple of weeks. The majority of the people who are going to die in the next couple of weeks will have been exposed before the recent measures.

    Eighty four deaths today. Twenty one of those at a single NHS Trust in London.
    It's very worrying. Matt Hancock just been on the news calling for 250,000
    volunteers to help front line NHS staff deal with the crisis. Good luck with that 'owd lad.

    The statistic they should be highlighting is the 36 year old with no underlying health conditions who is critically ill in hospital. That could be any one of us.

    There was also a 28 year old Footballer who is now recovering but needed Intensive care to pull through
    The thing that some people are missing is that even though for most people under 50 the death rate is quite low - even 0.2% of a big number is still a big number
    Im getting to the age where the odds aren't quite as good I should be fine but I was never a fan of Russian Roulette. It sounds quite unpleasant for many who survive as well.

    Just my opinion, but the government have seriously over-played the "most people will hardly know they've got it" aspect. It may be factually correct, but it's led to ridiculous levels of complacency and non-compliance.
