I feel sad for you. We are all in this together. We have felt your pain earlier. We continue to do so.A bad day indeed. Unfortunately, one that was entirely in keeping with our current trend.

Thanks spanishman. I am filled with pessimism today and can't help thinking what a difference it would have made had we acted even one week earlier.

Like you say, we are all in this together. Countries like Spain have, and continue to, endure this appalling crisis. We will get through this, but we will have all paid a terrible price.
The only thing I can think of is this (as a non-religious person):
Please god can as many as possible come out of the other of this. Safe and sound. Wherever we are in the world. Plus whatever our political beliefs were and are.
AmenIt is going to be hard for us all. The only good news I can think

Tuesday for all Covid-19 deaths up to 3 April and Wednesday for weekend hospital figures to catch up.Note on the above - this is the third consecutive weekend when the deaths reported on the Sunday were lower than those reported the previous day. It has been well reported that there may be administrative reasons for this, which also tend to result in lower numbers published on a Monday.
Therefore, we need to be cognisant of this issue and factor it into our analysis. Also, with this being Easter weekend, it may be that this effect is seen for a couple of extra days.
The graph relies on reported figures from each country. These are not up to date on the day they're released (a figure of only 15% of the figure for that day was quoted on the last two days- the test were anything up to two weeks ago) and, for the UK, will not include any community or care home deaths.Bear you seem a reasonable intelligent fella. Could you explain this graph that is doing the rounds on twitter?
Do you know if Italy are including care home deaths? There's a really worrying report suggesting about 50% of deaths in Spain, Italy, Ireland, France and Belgium are in the community.Today's headline analysis:
• 4,342 new infections in 24-hour period, down from yesterday's 5,288
• 4-day average for new infections remains unchanged, following a 1.0% decrease yesterday
• 717 new deaths reported in 24-hour period, slightly lower than 737 yesterday
• 4-day average for new deaths decreases by 4.7%, following 5.4% decrease yesterday
• We continue to track above Italy on a days since 20th death basis. We have followed broadly the same trajectory for the past 29 days and have been tracking above Italy for the past 12 days.
• We remain approximately 13 days behind Italy’s numbers (same as yesterday and from 13.5 days behind four days ago)
Daft question , but what's the point in daily death figures if they are reported like they are on sky news
http://news.sky.com/story/coronavir...lish-hospitals-taking-total-to-10261-11972586
It says in this article more than half way down
Of these latest deaths, 118 occured on 12th April whilst 537 took place between 1st April and 11th April. The remaining 12 deaths happened last month going back as far as 26th March.
So I would read that as only 118 people dying of or with covid-19 yesterday which brings me to ask what's the point in releasing daily death figures when they are not in fact all from the previous day?
Although it is a drop in new people tested, only 8.5k compared to an avg 12.5k a day over the last week, that is a noticeable drop in postives from an avg 5.5k a day over the last week.• 4,342 new infections in 24-hour period, down from yesterday's 5,288
• We remain approximately 13 days behind Italy’s numbers (same as yesterday and from 13.5 days behind four days ago)
