When the lockdown ends

Agree.

considering that the uk deaths figure now includes all locations its pretty clear from the Worldometer/Johns Hopkins figures that the deaths per day number is falling.

below is the three-day rolling average they are now using.

i agree, its not so clear for number of cases but, as above, more testing is certainly skewing that as an ongoing guide..

what is different about the UK is that they dont seem to publish any recovered v death figures for all those who go into hospital.

every other country on Worldometer gives this as in the Spain photo below...

I am highly sceptical of all the figures out there, including those of the UK. I wouldn’t trust our Government much more than most others to be honest. Possibly more than Trump, the Brazilian fool and China, but that sets the bar at toe level. I see the Government’s main health advisor has resigned yesterday, think he’s the third public figure with deeply flawed judgement at the moment. I am not expecting any inquiry into the Governments handling of this to be truthful, open and honest, because that is no longer how our Government channels work, and haven’t for a very long time. There’s still all the Brexit negotiations to play out yet as well.☹️

whether the source is wholly accurate or not might be up for discussion, however, referencing the same set of reporting has to give a better chance of trend detecting than constantly changing tack, hence why so many use JHU as a constant source.

i do like a good conspiracy post, though...

however, I wont be getting in a tiz about it.....a relaxing beer in the sun seems a better idea

Neither am I .

Today’s figures are pretty grim 😢

Indeed. With 649 deaths and another 6000+ new cases, it doesn't look like a good time to relax anything.

Let's get one thing straight the government has heeded the scientific body of the UK, if there's any pointing of the finger it's at their end. The government is wholly responsible for delivering their recommendations which they must be accountable for, not for how  and when to implement their advice. At first the scientific body first suggested an herd way out of the crisis a bit like Sweden that's why we held off lockdown longer than most, who gave that advise we will find out after this is all over

The problem with the scientific body who had their meetings,  iti s understood that the reports about that Boris had his key  Downing street advisor also at those meetings ,  and his reported way of workisng, ,  does make one wonder who eventually made the decisions
