Listen to the above and share!!

Fat face have closed their stores.

My brain still won't compute all this at all. I'm cocooned at home which might be influencing that as I can't see beyond my windows.

It doesn't seem real.

LBC News - 'Two more people have died in Wales after contracting COVID-19.'

Is there any reason why the numbers are later yesterday and today ?

My friend says the death rate in San Marino is very high, more than 12% and he thinks it gives some support to the theory that the virus might have suffered a mutation in Italy.

@Angryrant55
It just keeps climbing and climbing. When is it going to reach its peak?
Feels so hopeless

'Netherlands has to move 500 to 700 patients out of Brabant to other parts of the country.'

We need various ways to communicate this message

Clear graphics and a chart. Some of sort of clear poster. Illustrating infection spread. And then picture of real person in intensive care.

Propaganda?

Lombardy case peak should be very soon but the death peak might be sometime next week.

I'm so happy shopa are closing. My 65 year old mum works in one and I hate that she's still going 😢

What's the most terrifying is that this is coming. We are getting a view into the future.
I can't even get my head round that, even though rationally I know that's what's happening.

Have we had Italy's death tally for today yet? I have 4032 - was that yesterday's? My head is scrambled. Have been extending my table with Italy vs UK deaths. Similar to the one someone posted above but with the latest days.

the figures from italy come at 5pm - and always comes at same time.

Thanks Angryrant. Not long to wait.

My MIL said a little earlier today 'oh it's ok in Shropshire, we've only had 2 cases'. headdesk

Africa has over 1000 cases now. Obviously that’s a big continent but do the countries involved have the ability to stop the spread?

Surely the world is going to have to stop flights for a while? When the likes of China arent getting any cases but the rest of the world have not even reached their peak, how can you stop transmission from travellers?

the angry chef on covid and alternative medicine and fake experts

Allie Hodgkins-Brown - 'Two more people have died in Wales after contracting coronavirus - brings the total number of deaths there to five.'

“The Chief Medical Officer has confirmed that the patients were a 75 year old who died at Singleton Hospital, and a 98 year old who died at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. Both patients had underlying health conditions.

Singleton is in Swansea and Ysbyty Glan Clwyd near Rhyl.

Africa has over 1000 cases now. Obviously that’s a big continent but do the countries involved have the ability to stop the spread?

unlikely.
plus many countries are major food exporters.

I think countries like Africa and India to name but two could develop a terrifying number of cases, due to areas where people live so much on top of each other. They're behind us but I don't think they have the facilities if things get bad there. I just hope the developed nations will have enough equipment and expertise left to be able to help them.

I think global flights will mostly cease permently - only a few people will travel. The era of tourism is dead forever.

South Africa will fall apart - lots of hiv or aids suffers there often without the vital meds used in the uk.

UPDATE on #COVIDー19 testing in the UK:

Today's figures will be published later today.

We are working hard to provide you with the latest information and will tweet this out as soon as possible.

Yes friend from South Africa said borders clamped early due to that issue - hiv etc
