Very quickly.Currently,the number of cases in the UK is doubling every two days. If that continues unchecked, we'd be fast approaching a million cases by the end of the month, and at 10million cases by mid-April.I've no idea if it WILL keep on doubling at that rate without steps to check it, but if I were in charge and it did keep on increasing like that into the middle of next week, I'd be introducing some pretty draconian steps.It wouldn't surprise me at all if this is the last weekend with a full set of football matches played in front of live crowds.There’s 42000 people currently infected, there’s been 103000 infected since it began. Almost 60000 people have recovered from it It’s not doubling every two days He said in the UK which it pretty much is.29/02 - 2102/03 - 3904/03 - 8506/03 - 163We're up to 206 today.08/03 - 273

Don’t forget that is diagnosed and reported cases, not the amount infected who aren’t ill yet, or who just act as carriers.

You can only go by the figures released. And if there are thousands walking about with it with no illness doesn’t that show it’s not really that bad
Dickos.You have zero evidence that there are "thousands walking about with it with no illness".You are being utterly irresponsible if you choose to believe it isn't really that bad, when the experts who spend their lives studying these things are telling us it has the potential to be devastating.Look at the superb post by Dutch Uncle last night.If the people telling you to start social-distancing, cover your mouth, wash your hands etc are wrong, the worst that happens is you're inconvenienced for a few weeks.If they are right and you ignore them, the worst that can happen is that you are complicit in the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of people.It is a no-brainer.If it turns out I've been over-reacting (and I fervently hope it does) you can take the piss out of me for all eternity. If it turns out you are being dangerously complacent...

They’re only testing a tiny portion of people, the health secretary has stated its highly likely that there are thousands of people walking around with this virus
