Boris Johnson tests positive for COVID-19
Who is 2nd in command in the UK these days? Under Blair you always knew Prescott was there to swing a few punches if needed.

As much as I dislike Boris Johnson’s politics and what he has done in recent months I wish him no ill whatsoever.BBC says he has mild symptoms, so maybe he can carry out PM duties whilst self isolating..

A bit of better news. Imperial College London's Neil Ferguson - who originally estimated 500,000 deaths in the UK due to Coronavirus, now says that the virus will peak in just two or three weeks, and that UK deaths from the disease are now unlikely to exceed 20,000, according to NewScientist. And - over 1/2 of those it will kill would have died by the end of the year anyway because they were so old and sick.
181 deaths today.
Won’t the deaths this week be from virus spread before the stricter lockdown came into force.?I would think there would be a lag of two weeks at least before we see the real effects.?
Absolutely correct about the ups and downs CiM, but it's the trend that is worrying me.Middle of last week, our doubling time was 2 days. By the start of this week, we'd got that up to about 4 days. Last few days, it's drifted back towards 2 days.That happened in France a week or so earlier. They looked like they'd bent the curve earlier than Italy. Now they are right back on the Italy trend. The worry is that we seem to be heading in the same direction since early this week.

Surely a stricter lockdown needs to be enforcedIt would take 2/3 week to take much affect from the lockdown but in a way I do agree as you still see too many people walking down the road.
