Yeah, you are not wrong Dan. I reckon we will be looking at 2 weeks on the ramp up to peak, and probably 2 weeks ramp down. We will probably stay peaked for around 2 weeks making 6 weeks for the bulk of people to be infected, live with it for a few days and get over it (my apologies for lack of medical nomenclature.) Proper lock down will probably start just below the peak, so say the 2 week period. So, ya, I'm reckoning about 4 weeks from now we will hit peak at this current rate. I also think my previous figure on this post (
here
) is a little high and more around 2,800. Will have to see as there is only one update per day now from official figures, its hard to track without many samples and one/day isn't a great sample range.
I chuckle about it to my self, I shouldn't I know, but the similarity to Italy is uncanny. 'Do nothing, do nothing, appease the public, do nothing, panic! Shutdown!!!'. The real sick thing in all of this (that has happened in the UK) is that no measures have been taken into consideration for the elderly and sick. The governmental plan so far virtually considers then as collateral damage. like I said <tinfoilhat> Its like they want this to happen </tinfoilhat>.

Oh, I forgot to post this:
He has 17,700 Bottles of Hand Sanitizer and Nowhere to Sell Them

I hope he rots away in his sea of sanitizer, and the others that have done this. Making a living is one thing. Making a living at the expense of others' is another thing.

And more! It just isn't showing any signs of slowing (the news that is). Things normally quieten down a bit on weekends, but not right now.

Who wants a wager on whether he has it or not? I reckon the results will be positive and the headline will be something like "Trump says its business as usual after being confirmed with COVID-19 and shows no symptoms"
