Coronavirus: UK deaths rise by more than 800 in a day – BBC News
Alors que le nouveau coronavirus, ou COVID-19, les cas continuent de décliner en Chine, le pays réputé pour être «l’usine du monde», reprend progressivement vie. Plusieurs entreprises, usines et unités de fabrication rouvrent leurs portes après que l’épidémie ait interrompu leurs opérations pendant des semaines.
Alors que de nombreux fabricants en Chine espèrent atteindre une « pleine capacité de production » d’ici le mois prochain et que les efforts sont en cours pour atteindre leurs objectifs annuels, la nouvelle de l’épidémie qui se propage à l’échelle mondiale se révèle être un frein à leurs perspectives commerciales pour le reste du monde. année.
Soumen Biswas, un exportateur de vêtements de mode basé à Shanghai, qui s’associe à plusieurs usines à travers la Chine dans le cadre d’une initiative « usine intelligente », a déclaré à CGTN que les travailleurs et les fabricants sont tous deux amenés à compenser la perte et à remettre les choses à la normale au au plus tôt. Le plus gros goulot d’étranglement reste une main-d’œuvre réduite, car de nombreux travailleurs de retour doivent être mis en quarantaine pendant deux semaines avant d’entrer dans les usines.
« En ce qui concerne l’industrie de la mode, nos fabricants basés dans des provinces comme Anhui, Zhejiang et Jiangsu ont déjà commencé à travailler. La main-d’œuvre n’est toujours pas à pleine capacité car elle est toujours au milieu de la peur des coronavirus. Mais je suppose qu’à la fin de ce mois, ou la première semaine d’avril, nous reviendrons à pleine capacité « , a déclaré Biswas, PDG de GC Apparels et Smartfactory4u, lors d’un entretien avec Skype à Shanghai.
Cependant, avec COVID-19 créant des situations désastreuses dans des pays tels que les États-Unis, Singapour, l’Italie et d’autres pays européens – «toutes les principales destinations d’exportation de produits chinois» – Biswas craint que les fabricants chinois, qui sont déjà en difficulté depuis des semaines perturbation de la production, peut faire face à un «double impact».
Soumen Biswas a salué « l’énorme soutien du gouvernement chinois » pour aider les entreprises à traverser cette phase difficile. / CGTN
« Donc, plus tôt, nous avions du mal en raison d’une situation interne comme le fait de ne pas remettre les gens au travail. Maintenant que la question est sous contrôle, nous pourrions encore faire face à une baisse des commandes, en particulier de pays comme les États-Unis, l’Italie et d’autres pays de l’UE parce que le la situation s’est aggravée là-bas « , a-t-il fait remarquer.
L’entrepreneur indien, qui vit en Chine depuis plus de 13 ans, a quant à lui salué « l’énorme soutien du gouvernement » pour aider les entreprises à traverser cette phase difficile.
« Le gouvernement chinois a proposé plusieurs assouplissements. Il a accordé un délai prolongé de trois mois aux entreprises pour payer leurs dépenses de sécurité sociale. Le coût de l’assurance médicale a été réduit. Et le gouvernement a encouragé les entreprises chargées d’un grand nombre d’employés à entrer dans le paiement flexible et les salaires. Ces mesures vont certainement aider les employeurs « , at-il dit.
«Passer à une usine saine»
Les exploitants d’usine sont également confrontés au défi supplémentaire de créer un environnement de travail aseptisé pour éviter toute nouvelle infection. Suivant les instructions du gouvernement, les usines fournissent des masques faciaux et des désinfectants tout en vérifiant les employés pour tout symptôme révélateur du virus.
Offrant un aperçu de l’ambiance dans les usines, Biswas a noté qu’il existe un sentiment accru de sensibilisation sociale et à l’hygiène parmi les travailleurs et les entreprises. Ainsi, des mesures de sécurité adéquates sont en place dans les usines.
« Les gens sont maintenant très inquiets lorsqu’ils retournent au travail et les propriétaires d’usine ou la direction veulent s’assurer que leurs travailleurs sont en bonne santé; ils ne tombent pas malades; et que les précautions sont prises correctement. Donc, tous les travailleurs sont obtenir des masques de la direction. Il y a des désinfectants à l’entrée. Leur température est régulièrement vérifiée « , a-t-il déclaré.
Plus important encore, les travailleurs «maintiennent une distance minimale» entre eux. « Il y a une tendance interne à la propreté dans leur esprit. Donc, leur lieu de travail est très propre. Ils s’assurent qu’il n’y a pas de déchets. S’il y a des ordures qui ont été nettoyées correctement à temps. Donc, il y a certainement un changement très visible vers le fait d’être une usine saine « , a fait remarquer Biswas.
«Impact de l’industrie mondiale du vêtement»

Étant donné que la Chine est un acteur si important dans la chaîne d’approvisionnement mondiale, un arrêt de la fabrication dans les usines chinoises a également des répercussions sur d’autres marchés.
Soulignant que la Chine est le plus grand exportateur de matières premières et de produits finis pour l’industrie de l’habillement et de la mode, Biswas a déclaré que l’arrêt de production d’une semaine a entraîné une pénurie dans de nombreux pays.
« Les pays qui importent de Chine, comme le Bangladesh, le Cambodge, le Myanmar et l’Inde sont confrontés à une grave pénurie de matières premières. Donc, ce n’est pas seulement la Chine, ils sont également touchés », a-t-il déclaré.
Biswas est cependant optimiste que la Chine pourrait augmenter sa capacité de production dans les prochains mois pour réduire l’impact global dans le secteur. « Le monde de la mode travaille avec les saisons. Le client a besoin de certains produits à un certain moment. S’ils manquent cela, ils ratent la vente. Donc, nous essayons de réduire ce cycle de la mode, qui a actuellement un délai de 90 jours [pour livraison des produits], et le réduire à 45 jours « , a-t-il expliqué.
«Personne ne peut rivaliser avec la Chine»
Biswas a souligné que la capacité de fabrication que la Chine a développée au fil des ans et celle qui lui a donné le surnom de « World’s Factory » ne pouvaient pas être facilement reproduites ailleurs. Par conséquent, ce n’est qu’une question de temps avant que les choses s’améliorent grâce à une consommation différée.
« Aucun de nos clients n’a annulé de commande.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) important questions | Corona virus explained in hindi | current affairs 2020
Ils reconnaissent la situation difficile. Donc, nous pensons que quoi que nous perdions en ce moment en raison d’un arrêt de fabrication, nous compenserons dans six mois. Ce sera un meilleure situation après six mois « , a-t-il déclaré avec optimisme« Alors que les choses reviennent à la normale, les commandes vont affluer en Chine, car le type de sources de matières premières ou le nombre d’usines ou la capacité de la Chine, il est très difficile de sortir de Chine », a-t-il ajouté.
Biswas a également insisté sur le fait que cette période de perturbation a déjà rendu les usines chinoises «affamées» et a donc pour conséquence une escalade dramatique du temps de production.
« Ils seront certainement plus agressifs pour obtenir des commandes sur la fabrication. Le délai de livraison, déjà compressé à 45 jours, pourrait être amélioré à 30 jours. Et si cela se produit, presque personne au monde ne peut rivaliser avec la Chine ». il a dit.
«Changer le comportement des consommateurs»
L’épidémie a eu un impact durable sur les priorités des consommateurs dans le monde. Biswas a déclaré qu’il y avait eu un changement important dans le comportement des consommateurs, qui sont maintenant de plus en plus conscients des soins de santé et de la source des produits et services, qui affecteront l’industrie du luxe à long terme.
« Les gens ne sont pas enclins à dépenser beaucoup pour des produits de luxe en ce moment. Beaucoup de Chinois achetaient des produits de luxe de marque en Europe et aux États-Unis, cela a certainement diminué. Et avec l’Italie sous verrouillage, le secteur du luxe va connaître un grand ralentissement « , a-t-il expliqué en soulignant que l’Italie à elle seule possède un marché du luxe de plus de 100 milliards de dollars américains.
« Les gens veulent rester en forme. Ils veulent utiliser plus de produits de santé et ils veulent économiser de l’argent pour les urgences. Ils ne dépenseraient pas plus pour des produits de luxe », a-t-il ajouté.
Biswas a noté que la sensibilisation accrue des consommateurs aux sources de produits entraînera une augmentation des pratiques durables dans toutes les industries.
Un autre changement que l’homme d’affaires basé à Shanghai a observé chez les consommateurs en raison d’une longue période de verrouillage est une plus grande appréciation pour les entreprises locales et les communautés élargies.
« Il y a un sentiment de redonner à la communauté et donc un mouvement vers la localisation. Comme les gens étaient confinés à leurs maisons, ils ont une meilleure appréciation pour les magasins de quartier de maman et pop qui les ont aidés dans les moments difficiles. Ainsi, les consommateurs pourrait acheter plus de ces magasins à l’avenir pour montrer leur gratitude « , a-t-il prédit.

Anyone want to guess how long it’ll be before they announce the 17,000 flu deaths every year,in preparation for the boost Bill Gates bank account fund,when we are all threaten with death if we don’t get vaccinated?
That’s lies and disgraceful, media are part of the pandemic like the government’s, its going to work for them because everyone is believing the fake news spat out every day all day. When the shut down eases off, watch out cause their next stage is close to going live. This will involve millimetre wave, 60ghz, and 6ghz technology that disrupts the oxagen and iodine molecules in our bodies, then we will see people dropping and of course they will blame it on this covid hoax, but it’s really 5g roll out.
If the pm of Scotland had closed the borders to England, life’s could have been saved, the amount of English in scotland way their camper vans and caravans thinking it’s a fecken holiday
Boris Johnson had frost bite cause he’s never out a Fridge !
@ BREAKING THE RULES AND PUTTING LIVES AT RISK. HIS RESPONSE HIS FRIGHTENING. THIS FAMILY WHO THE MOTHER IS TEACHER HAVE BEEN WARNED BY POLICE TWICE IN TWO DAYS ABOUT BREAKING SOCIAL DISTANCING. THIS VIDEO WAS TAKE TODAY 08/04/20 JUST HOURS AFTER THE POLICE WARNED THEM AGAIN ABOUT THE RULES. AS YOU CAN SEE. HE CYCLES STRAIGHT UP TO ME COMPLETELY BREAKING THE TWO METER RULE POTENTIALLY PUTTING ME AT RISK. MADE COMPLAINT TO POLICE. NOTHING DONE
Boris Johnson is under house arrest he hasn’t got the CORONAVIRUS.. The old world order ship is sinking Satan worshipping scum is being removed.. victory of the light
In case anyone needs a laugh or smile!✨�� a video to help you fight Coronavirus with fashion!!! https://youtu.be/Ajt01jkuQ7s Protect yourselves, protect each other!
Common sense and logic tells us that the
UK will have more Corona virus deaths than any other in Europe.
This is because of multiculturalism.
People returning to backward countries on holiday, like Pakistan, and Iraq, then coming back to UK, spreading the virus.
Multiculturalism and immigration spread diseases.
Now all you have to do to understand you are being lied to is check how many people were dying a day in the UK last year.
Death rate per 1,000 resident population in the United Kingdom from 2000 to 2018
Death rate per 1,000 population
2018 9.3
2017 9.2
2016 9.1
2015 9.3
You are being LIED TO THE DEATH RATE HAS NOT RISEN. THEY ARE SIMPLY MISDIAGNOSING PEOPLE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND BASIC MATHS? THESE NUMBERS SHOULD HAVE DOUBLED IF THERE IS A NEW KILLER, THEY HAVE NOT DOUBLED, DEATH RATES WERE SLIGHTLY LESS THIS YEAR, BUT IF WE’RE TO BELIEVE YOUR LYING ASS GOVERNMENT, THIS YEAR SUDDENLY NO ONE DIED OF ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN THE CORONA!!!!!!
DOES THAT SERIOUSLY MAKE SENSE TO ANYONE WITH A BRAIN?
How many people die per day in UK? 2015-2018
The current rate is 1400 people each day in England and Wales. More interesting facts about death in the UK can be found here:
http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/vs... How many people die in New York every day?
What a bullshiet. most ppl who died are over 70/80s with main disease diagnosed. If you died in car accident and you had a flu what was cause of your death? Accident or flu? Stop manipulate, stop talking lies to us. Basically, government is saying that whoever died and got virus symptomps died because the Corona! Which is not true!
https://youtu.be/kPBxMraSGR4
Top five you must apply to stay safe from Corona virus ��. Plz watch and apply and stay safe.
Such,high numbers
So,when it does come. Down, soon
Just may be not many left
And the ones are locked in
Are the next batch..
Common sense
No, vaccine,!!!!
When people beleive this crap they see on their tv without even researching WHY this is happening and HOW the so called tests. Are being done etc..etc…
1st link shows how tests dont prove cv19 https://youtu.be/pzmKOXykdyw

Lets hope the Government mite give the NHS All they need. With out the NHS We will all die of this Evil Virus. Its every time you turn the T.V On you hear Government saying the NHS they don’t need it They should of stack up before it started. If they close the airports from China in the first place this would of help slow this Virus down by half. The China Government should be made to pay every family that lost a love one with this Covid19 Virus a Pension They have killed thousand people if it was a war not as many people would of die that as die. with this Evil Virus I still say it a man made Virus too many dieing to fast
Why is vastly more time dedicated to reporting on Boris Johnson than on the over 800 deaths (many caused by his incompetence)?
Oh. Right. It’s the BBC.

storing food during lockdown,,,,
You can safely store frozen milk in your freezer for up to 6 months, but it’s best if you can use it within 1 month of freezing. Milk should be defrosted in the fridge as opposed to at room temperature to decrease the risk of bacterial growth.11 Feb 2020
Place store-bought bread directly in the freezer. The plastic bag that it came in will keep it protected for a few weeks.
Just make sure to freeze it while it is still fresh because the freezer will not hide the staleness of the bread. If the bread went stale before you froze it, it will still be stale afterward. Bread can stay good in the freezer for up to three months.
How to freeze onions
Chop or slice the onions and freeze them raw on trays, once hard, tip them into a freezer bag so you can use them in portions. You can also fry onions to freeze in batches, if you like.
How to freeze milk
Milk in cartons can be frozen unopened if there is a gap between the milk and the lid – all liquids expand as they freeze, so if there isn’t enough room, the lid might pop off or the carton could split. Milk in glass bottles can’t be frozen so transfer it to a container or a freezer bag with a watertight seal.
How to freeze eggs
Buying eggs by the dozen usually works out cheaper. Freeze eggs in portions (you can beat them first) to use later. A large egg can be between 63-73g, which fits in the hole of a muffin tin.
How to freeze cheese
Grate cheese and loosely pack into the holes of a muffin tin. There will be about 50g in each.
How to freeze yogurt
If you buy large tubs of yogurt and think you can’t use it in time, freeze it in portions in a clean muffin tin. Slide the frozen portions out and put them in a container to use from frozen, or defrost first. You’ll fit 100ml in each.
A full freezer is more economical to run as the cold air doesn’t need to circulate as much, so less power is needed. If you have lots of space free, half-fill plastic bottles with water and use them to fill gaps. Alternatively, fill the freezer with everyday items you’re bound to use, such as sliced bread or frozen peas.
Normally about 5000 people a day die in the UK and before you have a go at me I know all about death try 7 family members in 4 weeks back in 2014, so I know all about grief, the bottom line is we’re all going to die, so instead of buying into fear live your life
I absolutely detest the BBC. It’s full of constant hyperbole. One of their worst offenders is Jeremy Vine; his Radio 2 programme’s been constantly banging out content on the matter for at least two weeks – just as he did with the Brexit debate. The man’s like a dog with a bone.
I switch off now.
800 deaths in a day sounds dramatic….but is it ?
Here the real boring dull statistics…never reported on by media….
Main points
In the 2017 to 2018 winter period, there were an estimated 50,100 excess winter deaths in England and Wales.
The number of excess winter deaths in 2017 to 2018 was the highest recorded since winter 1975 to 1976.
During the winter months of 2017 to 2018, the number of daily deaths exceeded the daily five-year average for all days except 25 March.
Excess winter mortality in 2017 to 2018 significantly increased from 2016 to 2017 in all English regions and Wales, with Wales having the highest regional index.
Excess winter mortality continued to be highest in females and people aged 85 and over.
Excess winter mortality doubled among males aged 0 to 64 years between 2016 to 2017 and 2017 to 2018.
Over one-third (34.7%) of all excess winter deaths were caused by respiratory diseases.
2019 figures not yet published.
just as a nudge maybe the BBC can do something, The media has a powerful role to play in representing a country; this is why they are given so much power to report, protected by freedom laws. The British media have been able to get the government to act in a number of areas during the coronavirus crisis as well, but the reporting is inconsistent. They will point out some failures and ignore others, and they are particularly failing the NHS right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE3GB4drBas
the hypocrisy of a `relatively` few deaths in comparison to 250THOUSAND babies killed EVERY year in the UK alone is astounding! Let`s have a daily update on abortions! Life is life! It is all precious
In Scotland, deaths not in hospitals are also included. That’s where coronavirus was the cause or was present even if the death had other causes.
That’s not happening in England.
The fact that so many people work pointless jobs is partly why we are so ill prepared to respond to COVID-19. The pandemic is highlighting that many jobs are not essential, yet we lack sufficient key workers to respond when things go bad.
Coronavirus, like climate change, is partly a problem of our economic structure. Although both appear to be “environmental” or “natural” problems, they are socially driven.
Yes, climate change is caused by certain gases absorbing heat. But that’s a very shallow explanation. To really understand climate change, we need to understand the social reasons that keep us emitting greenhouse gases. Likewise with COVID-19. Yes, the direct cause is the virus. But managing its effects requires us to understand human behaviour and its wider economic context.
Tackling both COVID-19 and climate change is much easier if you reduce nonessential economic activity.
Do we use our resources to maximise exchanges and money, or do we use them to maximise life?
What will the world be like after coronavirus? Four possible futures.
1) State capitalism: centralised response, prioritising exchange value
2) Barbarism: decentralised response prioritising exchange value
3) State socialism: centralised response, prioritising the protection of life
4) Mutual aid: decentralised response prioritising the protection of life.
…these scenarios leave some grounds for fear, but also some for hope. COVID-19 is highlighting serious deficiencies in our existing system. An effective response to this is likely to require radical social change… it requires a drastic move away from markets and the use of profits as the primary way of organising an economy. The upside of this is the possibility that we build a more humane system that leaves us more resilient in the face of future pandemics and other impending crises like climate change.”

According to one of ITV presenter England have great health care and they will have covid19 under control when arrived in the UK but it doesn’t look like it haha
nearly 2,000 people have died in two days in the UK and they can’t stop talking about Boris when he didn’t even need a ventilator!! what about mentioning the poor BAME Doctor who had begged for PPE to do his job safely who died of corona virus today not a word or detail about the dead. Johnson is no more important than anyone else, why so much drama about his situation. i loathe the man but am glad he’s ok, but talk about the doctors dying! It is CRIMINAL that so little PPE has been made available to frontline workers. get well soon Boris so you can attend a public enquiry when this is all done and face the charge of negligence and gross misconduct
Meanwhile, the UK is not reporting on total number of recoveries. Also, how many people have dies of regular flu during this period? My guess: officially 0.

“Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission,” the WHO said on January 14 – already two weeks later than first being informed.
Then on January 22 an emergency committee debated declaring a global emergency and banning travel to China.
A Sky News Australia investigation revealed last week the WHO was refusing to name who blocked calls for a travel ban at that meeting and what say China had in the decision.
Beijing resisted and the group of doctors calling for widespread travel bans were overruled.
It took another week for the WHO to reverse that decision, implement travel ban recommendations and label the crisis a global emergency.
According the data trend calculated by Dr Shengjie Lai in the Southampton study, that four week delay was responsible for nearly every infection and death in the world today.
In a more disturbing twist WHO general director Tedros Adhanom, who the Financial Times reports was planted at the organisation’s head by Chinese pressure, has begun politicising his failures by attacking the Taiwan officials who warned him about the pending pandemic.
In a bizarre televised rant the Ethiopian national claimed to have been the victim of racial slurs and even death threats.
He also linked those attacks to Taiwan without providing evidence.
Yes, but how many actually died directly of Covid-19, or just happened to have symptoms of the virus but died of other causes – some of which may have been exacerbated by the virus if they were vulnerable?
DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!
I think the UK didnt care about the coronavirus. 6000 deaths and only 35 recovered. britan should do everything in its power to save people, look at greenland
Lies. Virus is fake proven by facts now. All heart attacks, flu and phenumoneia have dropped of the cliff. All deaths are now classed as virus deaths. Fake virus for agenda 21. BBC you know all about this truth you evil beings.
Why no one doctor is telling the truth about, why always on tv or radio Who is making up those fake stories? Who is really interested to keep people at home all over the world
But they are not Virus deaths they are all deaths, anybody with any fatal illness that dies will be registered as a virus casualty. WHY
« 750 people who have tested positive from COVID19 have died in hospital » But did they die of it? Or as you have said « with it » Not just a matter of semantics but liability to truth ». They probably know not to say otherwise and they are protecting themselves from future repercussions. Actually overall death rates in the UK are down. Are these deaths not just the deaths of the sickest people in society, those who would naturally be next. Otherwise we would see an increase in overall mortality rates in the country. This is not the case.
the spike is caused mainly by the deceptive changes that were made regarding cause of death on death certificates – Coronavirus Act – excess death provisions: information and guidance for medical practitioners
31 March 2020, also the high rate of false positives in the tests

Testing is our window onto the pandemic and how it is spreading. Without testing we have no way of understanding the pandemic.
It is one of our most important tools in the fight to slow and reduce the spread and impact of the virus. Tests allow us to identify infected individuals, guiding the medical treatment that they receive. It enables the isolation of those infected and the tracing and quarantining of their contacts.1
Testing for COVID-19 also informs our understanding of the pandemic and the risks it poses in different populations.
There are two kinds of tests for COVID-19:
those that test for the presence of the virus, aiming to establish whether an individual is currently infected;
those that test for the presence of antibodies, aiming to establish whether an individual has been infected at some point in the past.
Some countries present comprehensive, detailed and regularly updated data. Iceland is one of these countries. Estonia goes even further, showing breakdowns by age, gender and region.
For many countries however, available data on testing is either incomplete or else completely unavailable.
the pandemic itself – would be greatly improved if all countries were able to report all the testing data available to them in the way shown by the best examples.
Those countries that do publish testing data often do not provide the required documentation to make it clear what the provided numbers precisely mean, and this is crucial for meaningful comparisons between countries and over time.
Is there no data – or it is just hard to find?
Do numbers refer to ‘performed tests’ or ‘individuals tested’?
Are negative results included? Are pending results included?
Do the figures include all tests conducted in the country, or only some?
Are all regions and laboratories within a country submitting data on the same basis?
What period do the published figures refer to?
Are there any issues that affect the comparability of the data over time?
What are the typical testing practices in the country?
Might any of the information above be lost in translation?
In some countries the number of tests are many times higher than the number of confirmed cases. As of 11 April, in Vietnam more than 400 tests had been conducted for each confirmed case. In Taiwan and Russia there had been around a hundred tests for each confirmed case.
But in other countries testing is very low relative to the number of confirmed cases. The US, the UK and Ecuador had performed around 5 tests or fewer for every confirmed case.
In terms of testing coverage the UK appears to be ahead of Taiwan, with at least twice the number of people tested per thousand, as of 11 April.6
But on the same date, there were 60 times more confirmed cases per million in the UK than in Taiwan – 1,035 per million and 16 cases per million respectively.
So whilst testing relative to population size is higher in the UK, testing relative to the size of the outbreak is much, much higher in Taiwan.
As of 11 April, in Taiwan one case was confirmed for every 120 tests. In the UK, a case was confirmed in fewer than every four tests.7
in Australia, testing coverage is much higher than in Taiwan. But in terms of the number of tests per confirmed case, the countries are much closer – one case was confirmed for every 55 tests in Australia as of 11 April. A number of issues with the data on testing – discussed here – mean that small differences between countries should not be overinterpreted.
But the very large differences – such as those seen between Taiwan, Australia and the UK – do tell us something important about the quality of the data.
Testing in the UK has not kept pace with the advancing outbreak. The number of people tested per confirmed case fell rapidly throughout March and early April – from more than 400, to less than 4. The current low level of testing, relative to the size of the outbreak, suggests that the true number of infections in the UK is likely to be far higher than the number of confirmed cases.
The large number of tests for each confirmed case in Taiwan and Australia suggests that the number of confirmed cases paint a much more reliable picture of the true number of infections in these countries.
where the number of confirmed cases looks low against the number of deaths, this is a clear indication that the true number of cases is likely to be much, much higher. But the fundamental reason for this is the limited extent of testing.

Should our clinical testing prove successful, we hope to deploy antibody testing
kits in their millions. In time, and subject to clinical advice, they could even be used
to inform the use of social distancing measures in the future. However, this is
some way off. In the meantime, we will keep the public updated on progress.
Since the end of February, we have established a national surveillance
programme for population blood testing, using a high accuracy antibody test
operated by Public Health England at Porton Down, to find out what proportion of
the population have had the virus.
1.27 Public Health England is testing samples of the population and is in the process of
analysing the first 800 samples collected. We are expanding this programme
during April so that we have the potential to test around 5,000 samples per week.
We will also roll out a national mass population sample over the coming months.
Participants will be invited to take part in a study involving at-home immunity
testing every 4 weeks over a 6 to 12-month period. The aim is to enrol 16,000 to
20,000 people who will undergo repeat testing. This will add to the population
data, as well as telling us about immunity and how long it lasts.

. People who think it’s all fake so the government can get more power and inject us with a fake vaccine.
. People who think it’s fake so big businesses can close down small and medium businesses.
If you’re any of the above then you’re thick and you should be embarrassed of yourself.
Do not be alarmed when it’s reported that the Coronavirus cases skyrocket over the next few weeks. The numbers will spike because more tests are available, not necessarily because the virus is out of control. The media will use this to scare you some more in order to continue with the agenda to take away more of our liberties.
God bless the people who have died from covid 19, but It’s too bad US media didn’t care as much back in 2017 when 80,000 Americans died of influenza. CNN ran the story. So did CDC website. « On September 27, 2018,… CDC early estimates indicate that more than 900,000 people were hospitalized and more than 80,000 people died from flu last season ». OPEN THE economy. we will be okay with infection control protocols in place. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/spotlights/press-conference-2018-19.htm

Enough of the shit advice from the two doctors of death Whitty and Vallance….they should be sacked….Here is the real advice…keep contact with others to an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM…When it is unavoidable WEAR A MASK…If you do not have one MAKE DO AMEND USE A SCARF and disinfect and wash it frequently….If the supermarket is crowded the DO NOT GO IN wait until it is empty….Anybody coming down the aisle your way TURN AROUND IMMEDIATELY AND WALK AWAY….And do not let your employer tell you that your role is essential when you know it is not AVOID THE LIARS LIKE THE PLAGUE….
I live in london I am lucky because I dont know anyone who has died from it or heard of anyone who has.i hope and pray I or anyone I know gets it because I know someone how had newmonia verry bad cheasty cough not a good way to go a bit.this has nothing to do with 5g radiation poisoning because if it did the lungs would look like you was in a plane and the air pressure dropped or if you was on a verry high mountain.the virus is real the government would not lie to us…
The British government has no idea how to deal with this outbreak, and testing for the covid 19 is happening at a snails pace. They have put NHS frontline workers at risk, and don’t seem to understand that hospitals, doctors surgeries, supermarkets etc have communities also entering these facilities. We the general public have no idea when a test will be available to the masses. Without the test been more widely available to communities as well has NHS frontline workers, the government are keeping us all at risk. Matt Hancock came out of isolation after 7 days, when the guidelines were 14 days. This whole situation as been miss managed right from the start, and poor information given to the public, and this still persists. They sent our soldiers to Irac without the correct PPE, the Conservative David Cameron bought forward the referendum, and when the vote was to leave the European Union, they had no exit strategy, because they never thought we the people would vote to leave. Our government continues to fail to prepare for what could go wrong. People are frightened, and the words that come from this present government, are not exactly filled with hope for a better future. How many more lives must we loose, that could have been prevented, had this government acted sooner.
DON’T GIVE IT FRESH MEAT..!!
Every time it gets transmitted it gets another two weeks to live.
STAY AT HOME.
STOP TRANSMITTING IT……AND IT WILL DIE..!!
They are lying about the figures, they are diagnosing people with symptoms only and messing with the figures. This is a HOAX and a global PLANDEMIC!
Notice how all these Important people are only treated with oxygen therapy. An oxygenated body will over time cure everything. Take heed people and get on the food grade hydrogen peroxide therapy. Read the one minute cure (easy to download pdf online) and hopefully get on the protocol to rid yourself of dis-ease.

lies o lies
covid 19 is a fake test
hospitals are empty
if you try to film this proof the gestapo lock you up
Imperial college caused the lockdown with inflated death predicted computer sim
even bojo knows its all fake
to strip us of our freedoms
I want to hear numbers of deaths caused by the virus and deaths with the virus. Ie natural deaths verses severe and terminal covid 19 infection
Extroverts r the spreaders they cant stay indoors, it drives them up the wall. Introverts on the other hand are doin meditation, reading, doing art e.t.c.
Boris is overweight, probably has type II Diabetes or Insulin Resistance and so was going to be a good host for the virus; he was really foolish to shske infected patients’ hands despite being fully briefed long before the nation was.
I’m sri lankan..in our country we can able to have gained control over the virus..only 7th death have been reported and 189 positive cases have been reported sofar..but by hearing this news all over the world I’m very much devastating…staty home please
the point however is how many survivors each day? do they have a big problem in reporting how many survived? pathetic!!! let’s just scare the public even more with all the death numbers instead, Unbelievable!!!
HEY COVID-19 WHY DONT YOU JUST F*** OFF BACK TO WHERE Y OU F** CAME FROM because if you dont il tegt james may to bore you back to china
Why is Boris in an ITU bed if he is only on standard oxygen therapy?
He’s not even on non-invasive ventilation which can be done on a ward.
I recognise that he is the Prime Minister, but if there is anyone from the hospital that is able to confirm their ITU/HDU beds aren’t full then I would be reassured.
At the moment I cannot understand why he has an ITU bed
BEEN OUT OF HOSPITAL PRACTICE A WHILE BUT ITU WAS ALWAYS « NO TUBE, NO BED! »
Unless it is to block it for himself in case he deteriorates?!
They won’t want to be in the position of him deteriorating and there being no beds free on ITU.
If this the case and he is only there so he has a bed reserved in case he needs it, then I would want to know that no one has died in that hospital, since his admission to ITU, that was elligible for ITU but didn’t get admitted there because there wasn’t a bed.
IS BORIS A BED BLOCKER?
HAS ANYONE DIED BECAUSE THEY CAN’T GET AN ITU BED IN THAT HOSPITAL
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE LET US KNOW WHETHER THERE IS PRESSURE FOR ITU BEDS IN THAT HOSPITAL
Notice how these « reports » dwell on the ever increasing number of deaths. No balanced reports on the patients who have recovered. Just endless reports of death…
Asking frontline workers to work without the PPE required, is, in my opinion, unforgivable. The relevant, responsible, Risk Assessors, should be sacked, and their respective employers culpable. Its plain WRONG.
I have seen people queuing to get into Morrisons. Crowding in, close one behind the other. The death toll is bound to go up with people being so stupid !
Know the value of the Turkish nation, none of you have helped each other. we have conscience, goodness, faith, we are so strong
khan packing them in on the tubes…….what exactly does he think those people are there for…bit of shopping ?…what a shitbag. Usual leftist clown…take no responsibility, then blame the victims.
Where are all the bodies check out the morgues no extra funerals they are all liars NEW World Order is in full swing they Hate God and are afraid
Funny how we are all supposed to be reducing chance of spreading the virus yet this retarded country is still importing this shit from all over the world, airports are still open flights arriving from Rome, China and god knows where else and you cant tell me these people are being tested.
To be honest i am not sure why people should listen to the government………
They died whilst testing positive for the virus? So does that mean they died from the virus? Or would they of died anyway Nice play on the wording BBC, keep up the good propaganda work��
It also may be a coincidence that that the primary US bio-weapons lab, Ft. Detrick was shut down in summer 2019 over fears that weaponized pathogens might escape. It may be a coincidence that absurdly under-performing US military athletes came to Wuhan for the World Military Games in October and have since been accused bu China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs of being the source of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It may be a coincidence that at the same time those »athletes » were in Wuhan, the World Economic Forum, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Johnson & Johnson, and other Establishment titans were hosting a pandemic simulation called Event 201.
It may be purely coincidental that the virus in Wuhan, home of China’s biggest transportation hub, just in time for the Chinese New Year, when most Chinese travel to visit relatives. Likewise, it could be coincidental that the real-life Covid-19 pandemic almost perfectly mimics Lockstep, the Rockefeller Foundation’s recipe for a global police state emerging on the back of a coronavirus-style pandemic.
the bbc make boris condition look worse, i wonder if boris gives the nhs a pay rise now, do people still listen to gove after comin out about being a cocaine junky.
MADE IN USA It’s all part of the plan! They want less ppl in the USA and littrely in all the planet, whoever’s sick enghe to die let it be that way only young and healthy ppl must live, D1% plan
If you die falling of a ladder they count it as a coronavirus death. I’m not saying there is no virus, but the death count is being inflated to keep us in fear & locked down.
Adrian you do realise that at the moment they are only testing people that are already seriously ill and in or visited a hospital so the percentage of people who will die will always look alarming. Now considering this highly contagious virus has been in the UK since December I should imagine millions of people have already contracted it so the death total which is still tragic is miniscule. The media and people pointing out this 10% figure need to put it into context.
