    I think the point is the media narrative has been we are already accelerating faster than Italy. Which we clearly are not. When we announced only ~50ish deaths the second day in a row I was surprised and then even more surprised to hear officials on the news last night telling us that whatever Italy is facing now we are going to be hit harder as we are already having people die at a faster rate.

    I wouldn't disagree.

    Sadly the the media choose to spread drama rather than factual information.

    One way of getting the figures down is more testing. Not because it would necessarily save more lives, but the bulk tested are clear, so it'd pull down the fatalities v reported cases figures. I read one claim that one reason for not testing, is that it could reduce the perception of risk by the general public.

    The images of the empty shelves was only ever going to have one outcome.

    It's irresponsible. There are better ways of presenting it.

    It’s yet to remain how it pans out obviously the severe cases and deaths that we are seeing now were infected sometime 1-3 weeks ago before anything was closed, plus the events of this weekend will have caused further distribution and there will be a sharp acceleration over the coming weeks. But as things stand we are quite some way behind the level we are being led to believe we are currently at.

    There's also the need to balance in the consequences for the future, not just of the virus, but on the financial hardships and future mental health issues from isolation, which can leave people at the mercy of the media for 'information'.

    I think you've worked it out wrong, there's very little difference between the daily death rate in Italy and the UK, since the first respective death was reported in each country (it hasn't yet actually been twenty days since our first death).

    If we followed Italy’s death curve Sunday would have put us around 350 and yesterday around 450. Today would be around 650.

    Still roughly following it, a day or so behind, but still a decent guide as to what we can expect.

    The sun somehow has managed to put us in second place.

    Italy has a higher percentage of cases that lead to fatality and is more concentrated to specific areas, meaning their health services are overwhelmed and actual figures can be misleading.
