What a surprise, Harvey Weinstein has the virus now, he will "die".

Corey Feldman next, that'll shut him up.

If you know any bell ends who went out on jollies yesterday, send them this. And tell them to f**king well take some responsibility.

Simple stuff, not being attended to.

Great point this, they managed it for Brexit......

Though I would say you have to live a bizarre life to not know the advice.  The sad thing is so many taking it lightly.

They spent £100m on adverts telling people to prep for a no deal Brexit in October.

Two months into this emergency, there's not been a single Govt advert.

Strange priorities...

Massive day for us today. If the number of deaths is below 60-70, it will really look like we've started bending the curve much quicker than Italy did. Won't be us out of the woods, and I'm sure the stupidity of millions yesterday will cause us a problem in a week or two, but it'll mean that the bottom-up shutdown that started 10-14 days ago will have been working. Finger crossed.

We only had some significant government “advice” last Monday.  IMHO one week is too soon to determine if this has been effective.

Of course, any reduction in rate growth is welcome, but I still don’t think we test enough.

IDM.

That's why I say bottom up.

Companies started shutting down from a fortnight ago, and to be fair, the handshaking and washing thing was established a fortnight ago even if some in here were ridiculing it.

Yes, without a doubt, two weeks to start with in my opinion

Depends how successful it is really. Two weeks absolute minimum. Probably closer to 3 months.

Just reported the lowest daily increase in cases (13%) and deaths (19%) here in the Netherlands* since the first case. German health minister is suggesting tentatively that the curve is flattening there also.


*very suprised about here, very lax response and measures relatively speaking.

To add.

Here is data from Dutch ICUs. https://www.stichting-nice.nl/covid-19-op-de-ic.jsp

Some promising trends.

If 21 is the final figure of deaths today from Germany, it definitely looks like they've bent the curve earlier than most countries.

Meanwhile in the US - I make that a 33% increase in deaths in New York State. Deaths are doubling every 2 days there.

It seems that in the Netherlands they have followed a similar path to the UK and in Germany only now are they going for the more restrictive approach.

As someone said, whatever a country does appears to represent a gamble of sorts.

Certainly by the end of this week I expect the UK will be in Lockdown.

I'm not so sure. I think if several countries start seeing a flatter curve we're in a different reality where we'll need to work out what kind of life continues. China seems to be slowly starting things up again.

So is it slowing down do we think? Maybe no need for lockdown?

Excellent news that the number of new deaths is low.

But keep this in perspective. Last week the deaths were doubling every 2 days. They are still roughly doubling every 4-5 days. This is far from defeated, and the last thing we should do is relax the situation. we have to get the rate of doubling up to every ten days, then every 20 days and we have to do it quickly.

This needs very careful management. If people think we've done the job and we can go back to normal anytime soon, they are in for a shock. And if people keep on acting like they did yesterday, frankly, we are f**ked.

Did you see that "The Hammer and the Dance" article I posted on Saturday? That discusses that very theme.

You Hammer down the virus cases initially. That buys you time. Time to increase your ICU capacity. Time to get your shit together on mass testing. Then you Dance, lifting restrictions where you can then reimposing them where and when you need to. And that maybe goes on for 18-24 months, until we have a vaccine or herd immunity.

Put it in perspective. We have done very well to increase the doubling time of the number of deaths. we've broken off the 2 day doubling trend before France and well before Italy and Spain. (Germany has done it even faster - respect).

But, if our deaths keep doubling at the rate they are now doing, it only slightly delays disaster. Carry on at the current rate and we'd have the same number of deaths that Spain currently has by a week of Friday, instead of by next Sunday, which is where we were heading before this slowdown. We'd hit the deaths that Italy currently has by 8 April, instead of 30 March.

Keep washing your hands. Keep staying at home where you can. Keep your distance from people when you HAVE to go outdoors.

And no more f**king daytrips for a bit.
