Mrs DC has been coughing for the best part of a week.

We didn't think it was Covid-19 as she was displaying none of the other symptoms but she spoke with a doctor yesterday to make sure and it was a chest infection. The point is that even if you don't have Covid-19 you could be really worried if you display similar symptoms which any other year you could brush off.

It will get worse before it gets better but I'm wondering if these deaths now are related to things like Cheltenham going ahead, the Wales v Scotland rugby match being cancelled last minute (and subsequently thousands of people crammed into bars as they were already there), pop concerts still going on, people going to the coast and mountains etc because it was sunny and so on.

Hopefully in another two weeks we'll see the 'curve' going the opposite way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I imagine we will. The curve appears to be flattening in terms of number of cases, so you would expect the same to happen with number of deaths a couple of weeks later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the part I don’t understand. We were told the incubation period was two weeks, on Monday it will be two weeks since lockdown, so surely the next couple of days should see the high numbers and (in theory) it should start to fall from Monday. While obviously it will still spread as certain sectors are still working and a minority of the public aren’t following the guidelines, but in the main should we not see a reducing from Monday or so....yet we keep being told two weeks, it’s seems like every week we are still two weeks away. I know I am being very simplistic and there’s probably a reason for it, but I just don’t get it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This has been on my mind as well. Thats the only thing that still puzzles me. Italy still has 5000 cases per day, and they locked down on 19 March.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Was it not the tenth?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah Italy has been locked down longer than the 19th, even states in the US have been locked down that long.

The UK were way too slow to act on this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As a major critic of our bunch of chancers it has to be said their reaction has been quite good overall.

Next week figures should be interesting with the peak forecast for next week end.

How is life in the sunny south west?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

NHS staff were briefed yesterday at my wife's hospital and told peak probably wont be until May now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

See that to me makes no sense. As people have said above, we should see a levelling off within weeks of the lockdown unless this virus lingers in the body much longer than what they are saying.

Let get this right, even from the 19th the number and level of ‘lockdown’ wasn’t enough in the US.

Coming delayed, led by a bigger fool than Boris. Like the U.K. the US is two weeks too late.

Definitely too late. New York and New Jersey locked down on the 20th March and schools were earlier than that i think along with bars restaurants etc. We are a lot stricter on what is and isn't essential as well.

Just don't understand what other states are waiting for? Should be nation wide. Though i think finally must are now done.

If the U.K. was two weeks too late. Then the US is then four weeks as a lockdown still isn’t fully in place.

Would unfortunately see US deaths as a percentage rise above that of Europe, that man isn’t fit to lead.

That is the unknown. We have to assume states or areas currently not having real virus issues will do so and then who knows how it shakes out. Could see states close their lines and not allow anyone in I guess.

Time will tell, but baffled as to why we haven't seen a nationwide lockdown.

because the commander in chief isn't concerned about anything other than himself!

\two weeks behind the UK and we were two weeks behind italy lockdown. And that fool thought the country would be open for easter.

Here police will be out over the weekend kindly reminding people to stay in unless essential trips/exercise. National Trust sites closed, restrictions to beauty spots/beaches.

He is focused on the economy, he is a business man. It is all he understands. Time will tell as to what responses were the correct ones. Still don't understand all this two weeks behind nonsense though, hard hit areas of the US took action as quick as anyone in Europe.

Really, well the U.K. was two weeks behind Italy.
