Sadly I think it will get worse before it gets better.

If Spain and Italy are anything to go by, our daily figure could easily double.

Afraid not. Think we're looking at 3-4 weeks time.

I read that we are on course to be worse than Italy! I just cannot bear it, I might have to avoid the news, its just too awful

3 more weeks of doubling every few days

No definitely not. The NHS in the North are actually saying we’re 11 weeks away from the peak

No I don't think so. This weekend the parks and beaches will be packed again so I would expect it to go a lot higher.

I’m being optimistic to think this is indeed our peak.

Is this 563 including people who have died at home without any hospital treatment?

I don’t think so. We’ve been told at work to expect the peak Easter weekend

No, I think we are a few days away sadly from the peak.

Not even close and people are starting to get restless in lockdown. We’re all fucked.

11 weeks away from the peak? Based on what? That doesn't fit with the pattern in any other country that we've seen does it?

Nowhere near, my friends in Italy believe they have 2 to 3 weeks before threir peak

11 weeks away?! If that 43k dead without the numbers doubling at all!

No, this is just hospital deaths.

Peak some way off - we have only been on lock down (and not that strict a lock down) for a week.

Italy is just starting to hopefully show a levelling off after 3 weeks on lockdown.

No where near peak yet. Give it another week. Sadly we are losing lives but it isn't over yet
