Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

All settings - 110 the announced total, up 98 on yesterday but down 28 on last Tuesday. Despite the standard high figure for a Tuesday, the 7 day rolling average falls to 64.86. The earlier hospital figure brings that average down to 14.86

While it is looking good that the hospital average is falling to the equivalent of 2 people a day, it’s still very concerning that the figures are being padded to high levels by non hospital settings. Nearly 100 even for a data lag day is still unacceptable

Got to remember that roughly 1500 die every day mate - considering that figure will be made up of a few days worth of deaths it isn't too bad in the context of a global pandemic considering everywhere has been open for over 2 weeks now.

Be interesting if it keeps dropping over the coming weeks when you start taking into account the easing of lockdown.

Do you see the geographical break down? Like its well known there have been local spikes, so if that lends itself to some rises, I still comfort myself that we are on the right track.

I find the having to wear a mask at work on Friday really odd to be honest.
We’ve been at work all the way through this without wearing them, yet introduce it now ?
We’ve also been told not to enforce customers having to wear them either, so that’s going to end up with customers arguing with each other no doubt.

Apart from a vaccine there is hope for 3 treatments for people with COVID19- anti-virals and antibodies might also be used to prevent disease.
