One point which I don't think has been made: some low-paid workers rely on overtime and (if they work in restaurants etc) on tips to top up their base earnings. I presume those extra payments won't be covered by the government's 80% guarantee.1

Well, that's the rub, isn't it? Assuming the sample is the same is far from certain. One would expect that - as testing capability increased - they would test more marginal, less symptomatic cases.JM1 said:
Gosh - yes! That is a big factor - the actual fraction of positive cases thus declined from 31% to 25% today (more equivalent to the day before). I wonder if the fraction of positive cases is not the better statistic for understanding whether the epidemic is growing or not? Assuming they are sampling the same 'type' of people each day it would be more interpretable. @rcs1000 what do you think?rcs1000 said:
Wow, that's close to a 50% increase in testing yesterday. That's got to have an impact on discovered cases.Andrew said:rcs1000 said:

2. Italians are ignoring the lockdown
3. Testing is ramping up, and earlier counts were an underestimate
For #3, yep they're testing a lot more over the last 3 days (+17k, +17k, +24k). They only broke +10k nine days ago, and as recently as the 5th it was just +3k.
That being said, the increase in testing was so significant yesterday that, even if CV-19 incidence was in decline, you'd still expect to see an increase in diagnoses.
It would be sensible to put together a hybrid measure, that took into account both the proportion positive, and the raw number. If I wasn't really busy, I'd have a go

(I'm not sure exactly how comparable those figures are, though, there are no doubt a lot of other differences in things like benefits).2 -
On the other hand people's costs when not working aren't going to be quite the same as when they were. If inflation doesn't destroy it then many people are going to have money to burn at the end of this (at least in comparison to what they had before)Pagan2 said:

Coronavirus: Foxtons tells tenant having COVID-19 'cannot stop landlord viewings'
Foxtons apologises after the tenant was told they could self-isolate "anywhere" but the property they were renting.

It's true that taking a proportion of infected people out of circulation would reduce the number, but that's a one-off hit if infectuous people continue to circulate. The flaw in the visualisation you refer to is that it assumes a strict correlation between population density and the potential for social interactions that could transfer the virus and real life isn't quite that straightforward.rcs1000 said:
You are correct. Sort of. And wrong. Sort of.williamglenn said:
I think your logic is faulty. Even if two in three people lock themselves up, the R0 could still be unaffected if the remainder continue to interact as normal. It would only stop when the pandemic reached a natural peak among those people. Hypothetically, in a region of 10m, if you took 6.6m out of circulation, that could still mean ~2m infections.rcs1000 said:
True but...brokenwheel said:
Well the Chinese doctors seem to think #2 is a factor...rcs1000 said:
The worrying numbers are from Lombardy and Veneto, rather than the general ones. You see, it took 10-12 days from the lockdown announcement in Hubei, to reported new cases falling because of the significant timelage between infection and reporting.NerysHughes said:
The lock down is not working thenAndreaParma_82 said:627 new deaths in Italy
689 new healed
Net increase in currently positive cases is 4670.
So almost 6000 new cases
My assumption was that we'd see a similar trend in Italy, with overall numbers peaking today or tomorrow, and Lombardy/Veneto peaking Wednesday/Thursday (as those regions had the initial lockdown).
But the current numbers don't show this. It's not clear why this is the case, but here are three options:
1. Italian families are larger than Chinese ones, and therefore there will be significant continued familial infection after lockdown
2. Italians are ignoring the lockdown
3. Testing is ramping up, and earlier counts were an underestimate
Any - or all - of these could be a factor.
https://twitter.com/TIME/status/1240889102804889600
You can't do a half-hearted lockdown and expect it to as effective as the Chinese example.
If you assume that - given no social distancing - then cases double every two days. Well, even if just two in three people lock themselves at home, then the R0 will drop below 1.
The advantage of properly enforcing a lockdown is that R0 is driven to zero in just 30 days or so.
Fistly, the infected in the two thirds (which would be two thirds of the infections...) would not be able to infect anyone, and would have R0s of 0.
For the other third, as there would be only one third the number of people they could bump into, surely their infectiousness would also decline, unless they managed to maintain the same level of social interaction as previously.

Grim figures from France:
Head of the French health authority Jérôme Salomon in his daily update said the situation was worsening rapidly in France. Urged people to follow strictly the advice keep 1m distance and wash hands.
It is “urgent” to do this, he said. There are now 12,612 confirmed cases in France, and 450 deaths. Of the deaths, 87% were aged over 70 years old. There are 5,226 people in hospital, 35% of them over 65 years old: 1,297 of these are in intensive care, 50% under 60 years old. 1,587 have been released from hospital.

One extant issue for pubs and restaurants and similar is rent, though.
When I lived in a pub, by far our largest bill was the rent to the brewery. It was what drove my parents out, in time.
Hopefully the small business grants already announced and the VAT deferment will help, but if this goes past a month or two, they’re going to need help with the rents.
However, for the first time, I’m believing that Rishi will help them out as well when it becomes apparent that it’s needed.0 -

It seems younger people aren't much less likely to end up in intensive care (for those that have a bad reaction) but they are much less likely to die of it.Richard_Nabavi said:Grim figures from France:
Head of the French health authority Jérôme Salomon in his daily update said the situation was worsening rapidly in France. Urged people to follow strictly the advice keep 1m distance and wash hands.
It is “urgent” to do this, he said. There are now 12,612 confirmed cases in France, and 450 deaths. Of the deaths, 87% were aged over 70 years old. There are 5,226 people in hospital, 35% of them over 65 years old: 1,297 of these are in intensive care, 50% under 60 years old. 1,587 have been released from hospital.

Absolutely. And hopefully the new machines being put together can really achieve this - if they are available within the next week (and at scale) it would make a massive difference by the sound of it. Did your source give an ETA or is it still too early to say?Foxy said:
