Are you worried yet.

The above was put on this forum 21/3/20. It clearly shows that we were almost exactly 14 days behind Italy.
Today (UK figures from 26/3/20) we are 578 dead, at the same point minus 14 days Italy was 1015. We are therefore is a much better position than them.
Does anyone concur?

Yes, the current death data suggests that the 14-day-lag match is no longer so 'perfect' and we might be doing a bit better in the UK. But the data only covers a few days, so should be treated with caution.

I still think that's because they live 3 generations to a house, they may be isolating as a family but if one of them has it the grandparents don't make it hence the much higher numbers than the UK who mostly live one or two generations to a house

That is probably a factor, maybe plus higher smoking rates in Italy.

Plus a slightly older age demographic - UK is about 18% over 65s (11,850,000) and Italy is about 22% (13,500,000) (2018 data from Wikipedia)

To be fair Phil , i think the panic buying is virtually over ( shoot me down if you know different) from the little ive seen , and yes i have been out shopping for essential food etc, our local Sainbury's seem pretty well stocked , with just a few items missing off the shelves ...........strangely eggs .......................have the chickens taken time out ...................... and Loo rolls seem to be back on the shelves but accordingly numbers ae restricted

You cannot get bog roll anywhere near me. 2 more days and I’m ******. Bleach, washing up liquid, very difficult

Ironically, my lad was in Amsterdam last week and got on about the last flight out. He said the coffee shops were cueing around the block as people were buying their weed allowances ahead of the lockdown there.
