    For me, this chart is the most alarming of the latest batch. US & UK daily death tolls are accelerating in a straight line on a log scale chart, i.e still increasing exponentially. ~All other countries had begun slowing the rate of increase in deaths by now. https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1245466314665271298 …

        Parliament should be recalled. Deputy CMO evidence clear that recent deaths because social distancing issues far far too late.

        Then ask them please why the curve is *not* flattening in the UK. Get ready for 1000 deaths/day in 3 days time, then 2000 then 4000. Ask them what they are planning to do with the bodies when 4000 people die per day.

        Because lockdown measures haven't had time to be effective (should have been implemented earlier).
