Hi GoT

That would mean doubling every 2 days or so - I hope not.

684 last 24 hours (Telegraph) - I hope < 1200 - will come back to thread in a week's time and we'll see who's nearest.

Summary

death profile follows that normally seen - fewer young people / more old men
virus is more transmittable and more damaging than normal flu
deaths would have happened in next year or so without CV19 - brought forward by the virus so would overwhelm NHS if no action had been taken
Imperial College study numbers are probably correct

ICU bed demand is the critical 'thing', not deaths.
