No I mean 1542 ffs

Looks like the US will be catching up with Italy in terms of cases soon.

@HangingOverTheEdge

Could be. It’s showing 1542 cases on the government dashboard:

www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/f94c3c90da5b4e9f9a0b19484dd4bb14

If it’s really 1452 the gov needs to fix that up.

Certainly worrying that we have gone from 80 odd year olds with underlying health issues to a 21 and 47 year old with none.

I would out money on those two people having unknown underlying health conditions

So it's 465 deaths, not 468. Amended chart. And off to bed! Take care everyone. xx

I hate that website because the format is shite!

or vaping there is a lung disease caused by vaping that could be exacerbated by this

I think it's important to remember that otherwise healthy young people can die of influenza too. It's rare but it happens.

I can't understand crunchy chart...

Yes My guess they Transposed the digits.

True avacado

So 1542 is more realistic?

Maybe The deaths are still at yesterday's number.

@CrunchyCarrot it’s looking positive for us for now then 🤞🏻
Hopefully we don’t spike again soon

Well it says 1542 on the government dashboard, but the total on the dashboard is wrong therefore. Because we know there were 8077 all up until this update.

I’d guess it’s really 1452 but they messed up the data entry.

The deaths aren’t at yesterday’s number, click on now, then click on yesterday, you can see the difference. Why do you keep posting they are the same?

@Lifesavesocialdistance that chart shows where Italy were and where we were 2 weeks in from them and a comparison to see how our rates were increasing. I've were we going to be on the same curve as Italy. Luckily this shows we are not like for like any more as we were on their 7th march. We were marching death for death bit now we do not have so many deaths per day which is a good sign.

Yes @Alwayscheerful the deaths HAVE been updated! +43

Interesting the USA has a huge drop today too.

We were both trialing the same anti viral. The Uk did not announce its name, but one of the speakers at trumps conference said it was them and the Uk trialing it.

Interesting we both started trialling a cure at the same time, and we have both seen a big reduction in deaths at the same time,

USA down from 225 yesterday to 133 today,,,

@CrunchyCarrot - I think you took a chart of mine and have been updated it (which is absolutely fine by me) - here's mine if you want to fill the gaps?

I was always very wary of using Italy to predict where the UK will be in two weeks time, even when the numbers matched exactly on 21 March. But Italy at least provides a sad yardstick of what the worst could look like and for now it's some comfort to see UK deaths have not been climbing as fast since the 21 March. (That said, Spain is now providing an even worse picture than Italy).

@bluntness100 the USA is still hours behind us and update constantly I think so I don't think we can conclusively say that?

I’m just looking at worldometer and comparing the two sets of stats published for the USA.

Yes, US figures tend to jump overnight.
