Given the way in which so many people in Parliament have tested positive, I wonder whether Gove has actually had it but perhaps asymptomatic and then passed it to the family member. Boris shook so many hands and they often stood quite close to him. If I had shaken his hand just before he went into isolation, I'd be a bit concerned now.

Yes, I don't know how well the government were actually following their own advice. :-\

The figures are skewed.  Because not every case is reported other than those who die in Hospital.  Care home numbers are not added for weeks apparently.

In hospital not in the community.  Care Homes aren't being monitored particularly well at present so it can be 10 days+ B4 their rate is added to the figures.

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/history-of-major-virus-outbreaks-in-the-uk-in-recent-times-39009641.html


Spanish Flu (1918-19)  -  200,000

Hong Kong Flu (1968-69) - 80,000

Asian Flu (1957-58)  - 33,000

Swine Flu (2009-10) - 457

It puts it into perspective a little.  These are just UK deaths.

I think that the daily reports are to encourage others to 'stay at home' without the government of the day realising what that might mean for most people, particularly those in Hi-rise or countryside.

The chief executive of NHS England was being praised on the news yesterday, surely he's more to blame for shortages in PPE and not the various MPs I've seen attacked ?

Public Health England isn't fit for purpose  ::) this is when we find out how many layers the NHS actually pays!

Many could be cut ............
