I wouldn’t be surprised if Boris has already The Clap.

Edit: balls, just noticed second to this joke.

So looks like England numbers over the last 4 days are averaging 588 deaths per day, which is showing a plateauing or even slight decline in the numbers. Obviously this pattern needs to be held for longer, but if so shows a very positive trend.

Let’s wait until tomorrow’s numbers I guess.

Its one my pet hates
 when these twats say ‘the public’ or ‘the people’ and provide no context
 what is the going number of ‘the public’ that need to agree for such a statement to be used ? A hatful of bluerinced nimby Mail readers it seams

I get so confused with all the facts and figures that get churned out, given the criminal lack of testing they can’t possibly be accurate. Yesterday 439 deaths announced in the UK, today 854. How will they manage to spin this as somehow evidence of a slowing down or a plateau? Or am I missing something? (it wouldn’t be the first time!).

Friday, Saturday and Sunday numbers are always artificially low - hence why we always see a spike on the Tuesday.

2248

What were the figures last Tuesday?

2249

There was an article on the BBC that explained that we should not read too much into these daily figures because of the time delays in how the death are reported even between different hospitals

367 from 159 the day before.

Let’s not rush to judgement here.

Let’s look at the facts.

We know that @Tokyo-Saint has had the virus.

Just saying.

A slight drop in the percentage from the day before compared to last Tuesday then. Personally, I think that the average layman Joe will see 357 deaths announced last Tuesday and 854 announced today and will struggle to see this as a positive trend.

2253

Which is perhaps not a bad thing
 keeping isolated and socially distanced is still critically important to getting through this and how many might be tempted for family get together over Easter if they felt it was getting better?

Except today’s number was 758, so a much better percentage drop.

Wow.

So it would appear that the death rate for those contracting the virus has climbed above 11% with today’s numbers.

We’re stopping people from getting it, but we’re not very good, comparatively speaking, about addressing it in those infected.

Police in North Yorkshire have stepped up patrols in Harrogate amid reports of reports of people having picnics, residents drinking in the streets, groups congregating in the town centre and people meeting up to go for walks in the spa town.

Didn’t Turkish move to Harrogate? Do you think he’s out there right now giving it large with the foam hands and replica kit?

Dominic Cummings ------- Hold my pint!

That should 11% of those tested positive

There are tens of thousands who got it and haven’t been tested
