The curve isn't going up as quickly as it has been but I'm not entirely convinced that the reporting that generates that curve is accurate.
It could go up again in a matter of weeks if people decide that they don't need to isolate.

We are truly now feeling the effects of not really knowing much, as Johnson and the government didn't plan in January appropriately. So there's been next to no testing happening all along, except for people in hospital and 1 or 2% of health staff.
With analysis, garbage in, garbage out - we're blind, as we're only looking at deaths, and hundreds of care home deaths are thought to have been not counted.
We've had weeks of lockdown and at this point it's a hope and a prayer. If we'd had intelligent management and planning, we'd have been testing like Germany has been and we'd know better what rhe effects have been from our decisions, potentially earlier than if it was catastrophic.
It's likely infection rates have eased. Hospital impact is not as severe as it could have been. But it's poor to be so ignorant, when the cost is so high, as meadured in so many deaths |

I think people are going to have to come to terms with the fact we will have some form of restrictions for the next year to 18 months.
This virus is going nowhere and until we have a vaccine we will have to put with life being very different.  |

Blame the WHO like Trump is doing for not declaring in time..
Apart from the fact there was enough information on the news coming from Wuhan to convince any person with half a brain that it is heading our way and regardless of the WHO not declaring a pandemic, they should have assumed it.
There were enough medical experts making noises back in January, human to human was already confirmed and inexcusable for both the UK and the US Governments to be caught with their pants around their ankles claiming no one could have ever imagined it ending up here.
They wasted months in preparation.. |

Care home deaths are NOT being counted.
Friend of mine mum died day before yesterday in a care home.
Figures quoted in the News tonight clearly stated "died in hospital, but does not include care homes and at home deaths" |

They are but only once a week according to the BBC. |

While rest of the world, except usa and some parts of Europe kept their number of deaths low... Begs me to think does western society really value the life of others? How many lives could we of saved if people really cared for each other? |

Another examples how other countries dealt with this crisis... Chief minister of Taiwan broke down in tears in public, which if you know asians, we really good at keeping stiff upper lip, he expressed his pain that he couldn't help stop 5 people die because of Covid-19.... Whilst in our country... Oh let's continue life as normal as possible and accept we going to lose our love ones... Difference in attitude is Taiwan has currently 340 cases. 78 cases were students repatriating from UK. Taiwan's population is 26 million... New Zealand current numbers are decreasing to a low that hopefully with social distancing measures, they possibly can radiate the virus.
Who will take accountability for all the loved ones we lost through Covid-19? Was it preventable?   |
