Seems the lockdown is working, lets look out for a blip in London in around 2 weeks time, because of all the muppets that decided it was a lovely day to catch up with friends and sunbathe.

Disgusting people. I have nothing but contempt for people like this.

What happens in Italy and Spain should be useful (although no 2 countries are the same).

I've been cleaning my patio with a biodegradable, wild-life friendly, solution. The results have been brilliant but the lady of the house has found some dead worms, which is apparently my fault. There has been quite a lot of saucepan clanging and bearing in mind it's not Thursday I'm now concerned I may also be admitted to hospital with "underlying health conditions"......

EDIT: Just seen Darren's post. Seems that I was correct and your figures are inaccurate. My above point still stands either way.

We were going to book a cruise to the Med in October, visiting Spain and Italy. A no no on three counts.


Yes cruising will need a lot of time to bounce back from this. Something that will stick in the mind early on was that stricken Princess ship.

I still estimate that the UK daily death rate will peak at somewhere around 1,500 in the next week or two.

JFF model goes for a (per constant test) decline in confirmed cases today with yesterday as the peak. So will be interesting to see if the actual number is well above the model line.

The model is predicting for today:


5120 new confirmed cases


11044 total tests (this is simply to be consistent with the govts 100k by the end of month target)


Note that the peak in confirmed cases is still April 12th but that's only because number of tests are ramped up to 35893 by then.

I must admit I assumed that if they could control the outbreak in Singapore that we'd be able to do likewise.  I must admit that my confidence was dented somewhat when we breezed through T5 at Heathrow with absolutely no checks or questions being asked.


But I think if we turn the clock back to mid January the level of risk was still an unknown, both transmissibility and mortality rates. Over two months later and the position has evolved as data and understanding have increased.

We should have closed borders to infected regions and had port screening in place right from early February - that is the only environment in which quarantine and contact tracing can possibly be effective.

Should point out the further down the path to a severe form of COVID you go (asymptomatic->mild->Hospital->ICU->ventilator) the less your demographics matter. Older men are far more likely to end up in hospital than younger women but have almost the same odds of dying by the time they get to the ventilator.
