Me too. I'm a shy introvert and have social anxiety, so this social isolation thing isn't that big of a deal to me. I usually hate leaving the house, even when I have to go to school.
Oh god, finally I've found an actual hermit who's loving this enforced isolation and not someone who's "an introvert on mondays" for the quirkiness. I honestly wish this enforced isolation would go on for years without people dying from this disease. Never have to leave my room. Don't have to go to Uni classes. Air is cleaner. Less noise pollution. Things are great.
Noone seems to notice that because he is using a logarithmic chart, even if the rate of dying per day does not decrease, *it will still be drawn as a "flattening" curve.* (Because the count increases exponentially on the logarithmic chart.) EDIT: As for the "excess" deaths, this is gaslighting as many of those who died would not have died except for this virus. Forcing people into lockdown has reduced road fatalities, and many other risk factors that decreased average mortality rates. Asthmatics have ventilators. Diabetics have insulin. Recovering cancer patients would not die from a typical cold virus.
@Wesley I'm wary of _normalcy bias_ and media reports claiming "it's all okay, most people got it already". Countries seem to go through a pattern of denying its severity, then recognizing some risk and finally introducing extreme countermeasures.
@@Infinitystar225 The amount of conspiracy theory bollocks in the comments section is honestly depressing. It actually makes me appreciate the mainstream media which I never thought I'd say.
Yes, pray for the guy who has been involved in running the NHS into the ground to bring about its privatisation and in cutting public services in the UK to the point where they can hardly function.
*The graph can flatten and still end up as a higher total number than another country. It depends on the demographics, population number, and population density of each country in question.* Is no one taught basic science or math anymore?!! 🤦
We should have closed the airports much earlier than we did. That surely would have had a massive impact? Deepest condolences to all those who have left this finite world. May they rest in peace and be at ease in the infinite world 😥😥😥😥
I remember watching the BBC at the time that this all started and an interviewee said that restricting travel would only delay the spread by a few days.
I guess the only good thing out of all this is the fact that bojo himself has got, I'm sure or at least hope he will take this much more seriously and value the lives of innocent over the value of the economy
@@eddiel7635 Hardly relevent. Of course the effect of the lock down will be immediate on causes like car crashes - you'd have to transpose the covid deaths to 2-3 weeks earlier to make a comparison.
I’ve definitely come to learn to ignore any media headline that says ‘could’ in it, as it means it won’t. But then when people question it when it wasn’t right the answer will always be ‘well we didnt say it will happen, only could’. Cop out!!!
@fran bran could to share the source of that please. I've noticed a distinct lack of chat about cures, recoveries and so quick to pronounce cause of death as the virus before a post mortem
Let's face it... We have a backward, inconsiderate, self-centred, selfish population in Britain. I have to work. I'm a refuse collector. I see window cleaners, window fitters, landscape gardeners, roofers, an absolute myriad of non-essential workers, still working. I bet their employers are claiming from the government. It's disgraceful!
I agree , I still work as we make food jars and medicine bottles but so many people I know working jobs that are not essential in any way , it's crazy .
last news: ITALY Finally, the data show a drop, despite the fact that there are still over 600 deaths. The new infections are decreasing, the number of people currently ill and the numbers of hospitalized, both in intensive care and out of intensive care. The data in the new Civil Protection bulletin speak of an increase in the sick (i.e. currently positive people) equal to only 878 units (yesterday they were 1941). It is the lowest increase recorded since March 10th. Today, 3792 people are hospitalized in intensive care, 106 less than yesterday, a drop for the fourth day in a row. 28,718 people are hospitalized with symptoms, 258 less than yesterday. Of the ICU patients, 1,305 are in Lombardy.
Hmmm maybe because people are actually listening to the truth..... and getting rid of the corruptovirus themselves. See the smoke in the distance coming from a mast? Yup....bye bye corruptovirus.
I was social distancing a very long time before it became government policy. I was appalled to see pubs, theatres and restaurants open and flights unrestricted in and out of our airports with nobody being tested.
JimJ trust me we really can’t be shocked with these figures when we were the last European country to lockdown!! Absolutely slow response from the government
It's a wet dream come true, for the media, after the misses of Swine Flu , Avian Flu, SARS, MERS and Ebola. They thrive on misfortune, doom and gloom, as It gets them views and sells newspapers. They'll carry on stirring this pot, for a very long time, after it's dried up.
Well lol ...it's a pandemic?..they're keeping us updated . I don't get how this can be bad in anyway when where at 1.3 million infected with 80,000+ deaths with 5,000 + deaths a day worldwide . Keep in mind a normal influenza flu kills 1200 a day world wide. So do the math and make your own predictions and ask your self if the news are really " getting a hardon".
They don't learn, one of them is in hospital and dozen still carrying on full speed ahead in the stupidity... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HVYPUh8Uw0Q.html
Killer_zX I’m right. Look at everyone crying and overreacting and stocking their houses with a Years worth of food. People checking the stats everyday to see how many people have died to stress about it. People need to stay strong for themselves, their family and their country. It’s the only way we’ll get through this together, not fear, stress and despair.
I love it when jumping jack flash says "remember this chart shows logarithmic acceleration ..." i bet four thirds of the viewers haven't got a clue what he's on about.....
yeah news like this was made to cover up fact uk government was more focused on money then saving its own people, as then people with half brain forgot how bad/slow uk government was and start putting blame game on people going out instead, but if uk had acted faster we wouldn't be in this issue right now. but respect for german government doing right thing instead of thinking of money.
The highly corrupt CCP and their corrupt puppets the WHO delayed, covered up and hid this virus (should both be fined, prosecuted and disassembled). WHO also gave bad info to countries. But, the lockdown here is definitely too weak.
@@savvageorge its simple , depends how many people went to china from your country and back and also then if so im guessing your country stopped person from going undected to long for it to spread like wildfire, as uk let it spread instead of finding person who had it early.
I,m having to switch over after the goverment updates. The jornos seem to betting on who can ask the most stupid question after the experts have just explaned whats happening.
As if there is actually a 'Pandemic' what lol, there's a Pandemic because 'they' say so! Who are 'they' the information God's we've turned into idols!!!!!
No they didn't.. the lockdown was about the same timeframe,, just that these prannies are saying they are 2 weeks behind... that's how this virus works I guess, it stops off elsewhere first and then moves on ffs.
@me and me people get this disease twice!! There is no heard immunity we have to stay in before the army put us on lockdown otherwise half population will die of this
@@DeanS946 It may be but the data is biased by lack of testing. If the whole population got it and we had ample testing the likely hood would be under 1% mortality. Uk data is especially bias as they only test the ill. Statistics is complicated.
@@richardrussell5695 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7_ppXSABYLY.html it's time to learn from the history of pandemics and think in terms of prevention
Lock down is not working not in west-midland anyway, I'm a bus driver and i see more and more people in my bus everyday, this virus is dengerous and i don't think people are taking it seriously. My thoughts and prayers with prime minister Boris Johnson and others in hospital with this deadly virus and i hope very much that they all quickly recover from this.
well for weeks now the baked beans shelves were empty. today i got a 4 pack heinz baked beans thought that is a sign things are getting better. guess not....
Fine Soul to excited definitely not a normal person but one of those people who boils frogs and hurts any kind of living creatures if he knows he can get away with it..needs a good slap and a huge hard kick right between his love 💕 spuds
One note though: Italy has been taken by a surprise, as no one expected it to be THAT bad, hospitals got overwhelmed and some people were left to die because they had to prioritise patients. Meanwhile UK had weeks to prepare, NHS reports it still has the capacity to accept more patients, and yet the death toll is still comparable to Italy. WHAT THE HELL?
"got taken by surprise"?? They were WARNED like the rest of the world in beginning of JANUARY. But they did nothing and even had people kissing popes hand and tourists streaming in. They thought they were superior, so did UK, america, iran, france and others.
If U.K. had done the right amount of testing ( which has not done so far ) they would have realized that they overtaken Italy days ago ... loads of deaths in U.K. from people died from pneumonia without being tested .
We should be overtaking Italy anyway. We have a population 6,000,000 higher than they do in an area that is only 80% of the size of their country. To put it simply more people in a smaller space. Guaranteed to spread faster and further it's simple.
@@crimsx0n The correct ones are what that guy who thinks 5G is spreading the virus is saying on his videos. He seems legit because his crazy matches my crazy.
@@crimsx0n Probably the information from a man who believes lizard people run the illuminati. There's a shocking number of deranged boomers in the comment sections of these videos.
Am I missing something? Current death toll - according to Public Health England- is 5373 as of Tue 7th April 2020. Can someone tell how its going to reach 10000+ by the weekend or is this more scare mongering by the MSM, just asking. 1000-5373=4627, so 1156 people must die each day up to Saturday. Greatest daily death toll thus far is 708 on the 4th and is now declining. By the way, Italy’s death toll thus far = 16523. Or have I got it all wrong?
Could. I don't think it will. Your charts and explanations are far too simplistic. Italy is also still registering deaths obviously. There's still a huge difference in numbers.
Finally, the data show a drop, despite the fact that there are still over 600 deaths. The new infections are decreasing, the number of people currently ill and the numbers of hospitalized, both in intensive care and out of intensive care.

Less of a transient population. There is a huge amount of travel to and from the UK. Same for other western countries like France, Spain, Italy and USA.
Yet England still aren't testing many people. Many towns and cities, including the one inwhich i live. people aren't taking this "lockdown" seriously. still seeing loads of people out, especially on the parks. The government has truly fucked us over.
I've every faith Boris can get us in to first. He's even rolled his sleeves up 'n tucked his tie in again to do his own bit with his nose to the ventilator.
I haven't seen today's (Wednesday)'s effort from Ed Conway. But no doubt he'll be turning up dressed as the Grim Reaper and telling us we'll all be dead by Easter Sunday. The number of deaths announced today is 936, so Ed will likely become hysterical. But that's still only a three day average of 720, and a mere 12 a day more than 5 days ago. Deaths announced on Tuesday & Wednesday include deaths they haven't counted at the weekend. NHS 'Hero' office staff don't work weekends, are so exhausted from their two days off, hung over from drinking the booze they buy in Supermarket 'NHS Special Shopping Hours', emotionally drained after being clapped by gullible passers by for doing so, and terrified by 'Covid 19 phobia' and lack of gas masks, it takes them at least two days to count up to 1000. So on the past rolling three day average, deaths will still take another 8.5 days, not 4 days as Ed says, (the BBC says 3.5 days) to double, and 5.5 days (from the date of this video), to reach 10,000. Which will be Monday, not Friday as Ed predicted as recently as yesterday. Even on today's artificially inflated number alone the existing total would take 8 days to double. The 'peak' death rate is already here.
Sky clearly don’t understand how logarithmic graphs work... “if the trend was to continue as it is now” - *proceeds to draw straight line on logarithmic graph* 🤦🏻♂️
The whole point of logarithmic graphs - especially within epidemiology - is that so exponential graphs can be visualized linearly. What's wrong about drawing a straight line? I'm not a fan of Sky either, but I don't see how that demonstrates his incompetence.
I will add that the current increase is still very bad, and we needn’t get complacent. But from this graph to do the extrapolation that sky have just done to make the claim that the UK could overtake Italy by the weekend is wrong, unless they have other evidence to justify the claim.
@@joelbraun8584 because the graph has quite clearly been decreasing in gradient consistently. Why extrapolate with a straight line off of a curve? They want clicks, and succeeded
@@CountScarlioni - there were no covid19 deaths last year to compare this with. The comparison graph shown were average death numbers for the time of year.
Where are the clap outs for our dust bin men and women? Whoever is cleaning our bins and streets in our contaminated rubbish in this Corona virus days need more than a big round of applause they deserve gold medals.
How much are they gonna wait to make a FULL quarantine ?! Its simple logic,Spain did it early and is flattening the curve. A half-assed quarantine isn’t going to accomplish nearly enough to help
Personally I blame the " human rights " screecher's who've messed up society, if people just did as they were told and stopped being selfish muppets this would of been severely reduced by now.
I'd rather have someone who's done some research, talking about 'possibilities', than someone who doesn't have a clue spouting 'certainties'... For all complaining about the 'coulds'. Sometimes we have to admit that things are beyond accurate prediction and beyond our control. More than that I think we *should* be more cautious about the use of absolutes and not see it as a weakness but rather a wisdom. Why the obsession with always being clairvoyant and correct?
Does anyone else think its odd.. Italy's total is 16k and just above 10k line, UK 6k and just below 10k line?! Makes it hard for me to believe what they are saying... Very serious situation though and obviously doing my bit to stay home...
Did the person who wrote the RU-vid tag line actually watch the video? At no time did Sky say that UK could overtake Italian deaths by the weekend - as of Tuesday the totals were UK 6159, Italy 17,127. If the growth rate is constant (and the evidence suggests it may be slowing down) then by the weekend UK would have 12000-12500 deaths and Italy 19,000-19,500. Very poor analysis by Sky and even worse by the headline writer
How many people die due to health reasons anyway? Has this really changed the Death rate ? And are they positive that the cause of death is actually covid and not their other illness but just happens that they were +ve for covid.
WE DID NOT LEARN ANYTHING FROM PAST. SARS originated in China in 2003. At that time it was stated that SARS is airborne , so Govts quickly reacted and SARS pandemic was eventually brought under control, following a policy of isolating people suspected of having the condition and screening all passengers travelling by air. But this time since it was stated that coronavirus is not airborne, govts all over the world took it very casually and took too long to check it at airports and because of lethargy and wrong decisions of policy makers, despite past experience, entire world is suffering. People also weaken their immune system by Junk food
Testing centers are starting to spring up everywhere. There's one near me in a lesuire center car park. (although, as yet not 'live' ) So, ramping up of testing must be imminant.
Italy is at 17k, reaching 10k by the weekend (like the description suggests) doesn’t mean the Uk will overtake Italy’s deaths. Cant believe sky news is tryna clickbait.
Sweden is boned. Feminist government, but also the highest rape rate in Europe, grenade attacks, no go zones, highest influx of migrants of a certain religion and ethnicity before those things became notable statistics.
The UK curve has been closely tracking the Italian one in recent weeks, so the idea that it's going to stop flattening and carry on in a line is just... statistical incompetence.
For infections it hasn't actually. The UK is doing quite reasonably and we are only just starting to get the lockdown's benefits in full. From March 27th to today the UK has gone from 2.8k to 3.6k cases in a day, with the anomalous 6k spike a couple days ago. It hovered around 2-3 for a few days, then 3-4k. It didn't go 2-3-4-6-8 etc. Italy hit around 6k cases and had that daily for a while, near the end of march. Spain hit 8k daily for a sustained period of time. Have to see how the UK progresses in the next week.
@@ReLoadXxXxX But I'm talking about deaths, "actually". The graph clearly shows that the numbers have followed a very similar path for the UK and Italy for the last 7 days.
It is a power scale. Instead of a linear scale, say, going up 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. a logarithmic scale is in power increments. The power of 10 is the usual scale for most logarithmic graphs. So each grade on the scale is 0, 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, etc. Because disease contagion spreads in a power scale type way, Log scales are often the best way to show its growth. One person infects 10 others, those 10 infect 10 others, making 100, those infect 10 more each making 1000, etc. that is the gist of it.
1) The UK has a larger population (67 million) compared to Italy (61 million), so we should expect a higher number of cases and deaths anyway. 2) The chart is logarithmic, so flattening of the curve is not necessarily indicative of an improving situation in terms of numbers of cases/deaths.
