Can we have a thread that accurately updates total UK cases as and when they come out.

Seems that total deaths are released but not up to date figures for total cases

No one knows the overall total, just those that are reported and they're here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51768274

Because nobody knows how many, only how many tested and confirmed cases. Which isn't a terribly useful statistic given that nobody knows the ratio of confirmed to unknown.
Depending on who you believe it could be as low as 1/100 or even 1/1000. But the "confirmed" figure is released regularly on every news platform and the NHS websites.
To put it simply, just do your best to stay off either list and keep your family off them too, and as many other people as possible.

A week back they seemed to have got released around 2pm but that seems to have been delayed.

Its just for morbid curiosity in a way but also as I fear the true numbers are being held back

Those were just the numbers of known cases and didn't include those who had self isolated with the virus at home. I repeat, no one knows the true numbers, how could they?

In this area the only people currently being tested are ones who are admitted to hospital.

If this is true across the country then the figures are quite alarming. 5000 confirmed cases and doubling every 3.5 days.

I believe I have it. Went through the nhs website who said it’s likely I do have it, but just to quarantine myself for 7 days, no need to call 111 or get tested.
Not much anyone can do until better testing gets put in place

Can anyone explain how Germany has so few deaths, compared to the rest of the Europe? I imagine they are testing more than us but their deaths still seem very low.

Germany is on almost the same track as us, Italy and almost every other country. Forget 'cases detected', just look at deaths since first case:

Good graphs, so yeah, very similar indeed. Just 4 days behind the UK rather than 14 days ahead as per Italy.

Can anyone explain why Covid-19 was downgraded on the 20th March from being an HCID (High Consequence infectious disease) by the UK government, due to low mortality rate, but we have gone to the extreme and ruinious shutdown measures?

Seems really odd to me.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-consequence-infec...

Also, although i dont necessarily agree with the message, this has some really interesting info in it about the death rates.

For example, in Italy, if someone dies of a heart attack, but when tested, is found to have covid-19, it is listed as a covid-19 death. This is probably why the overall Italian death rate is still below normal mortality rates for this time of year. Perhaps Germany is recording the deaths the correct way....

Have we been led up the garden path by the media hysteria??
