Think again 😬😭

Titslikepicassos · 01/04/2020 16:10

Not even close sadly

PertEllaTitsahoy · 01/04/2020 16:11

I think were at least a week away from peaking.

Whitefeather01 · 01/04/2020 16:11

This is just unthinkable :(

TheBitterBoy · 01/04/2020 16:11

Nope, we've got a way to go yet sadly.

PurpleDaisies · 01/04/2020 16:11

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

GatoFofo · 01/04/2020 16:11

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

ifonly4 · 01/04/2020 16:11

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

MummyNeedsWineNow · 01/04/2020 16:12

Wow! 563, Sad Flowers

chinateapot · 01/04/2020 16:12

No. Definitely not yet. Awful.

SensitiveLittleBlossom · 01/04/2020 16:12

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

WhyNotMe40 · 01/04/2020 16:12

3 more weeks of doubling every few days

Frigginella · 01/04/2020 16:12

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

HairyFloppins · 01/04/2020 16:13

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.

TheTruthAboutLove · 01/04/2020 16:13

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?

Devaki · 01/04/2020 16:13

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

Bluntness100 · 01/04/2020 16:13

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

BelleSausage · 01/04/2020 16:14

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

anothernotherone · 01/04/2020 16:14

Peak should be in June...

JustStayAtHome · 01/04/2020 16:14

Italy have been at 800+ for a while now....daily

CodenameVillanelle · 01/04/2020 16:14

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?

NoMorePoliticsPlease · 01/04/2020 16:15

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

Whitefeather01 · 01/04/2020 16:15

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

OhCrumbsWhereNow · 01/04/2020 16:15

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.

jadey0891 · 01/04/2020 16:15

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