These numbers are already what we’re getting when only testing the symptomatic people!!
Imagine if we tested more people, we would probably be similar to France/Spain now and not far off Italy 😰

They are not testing symptomatic people. We are symptomatic but have not travelled and have not been named by a confirmed case. So the data is completely skewed to the detriment of the government’s image.
【15 March】I will voluntarily summarize the update data and make a line chart in real time to better understand the growth trend of the number of infected people.

thanks to #BorisJohnson "actions" only 1milliom people in the UK will die. I guess, he is fine with that. In the meantime, China with 3x density population, reduced drastically infections and deads.

I've been compiling the daily figures into a spreadsheet w/ charts so anyone interested can view historical trends, peaks etc. such as:
- Daily testing amounts (inc drops)
- Peak positivity rates

Thanks for this.
At first glance the number of cases slowed - but only because fewer were tested.
Constant criteria for testing would make these figures more meaningful but the steep increase in positive tests is certainly alarming.

The Government needs to act now! With this Mass Gathering Ban being put into place next week, how is this going to work for Schools / Colleges. The answer is, it ain’t! #CloseTheSchools so students won’t be passing this onto there parents and that.
