    The point is that these numbers, the steps that each country takes, mean nothing if the health service cannot cope. Blame the system, the culture the governments whatever. The virus infects and causes death.
    My interest in the numbers is a selfish one. We have very little time to get my wife into the hospital for her operation, on to an ICU ward and then on a general ward, soon there may be no beds for her. No bed, no operation and I cannot bear the thought of what happens then. So I look at the patterns in hope and desperation. I can self isolate for as long as it takes, my wife can't. Its the only hope I have.

    Which is why the graph isn’t worth putting up. The Chinese figures are significantly understated.

    I see the lock down as being in place to help protect people like your good lady. It reduces the risk of infection, and gives you more opportunity to control her potential exposure.

    All the rest of us have to do is stay at home. I'm not sure why some find that so difficult,

    It's the filter that take the technology. False teeth can really screw up the motors if they gut sucked in.

    One good thing about this is I am really bonding with the dog. Every time the front door opens we both try to run out.

    A family from East Sussex may have been Britain’s first coronavirus victims, catching the virus in mid-January after visiting an Austrian ski resort which is now under investigation for allegedly covering up the early outbreak.

    If confirmed with official tests, it would mean the outbreak in Britain started more than a month earlier than currently thought.

    As things stand, the first recorded UK case was January 31 and the earliest documented incidence of transmission within the UK occurred on February 28.

    IT consultant Daren Bland, 50, was skiing in Ischgl, Austria from January 15 to 19.

    Hundreds of infections in Germany, Iceland, Norway and Denmark have been traced back to the resort in the Tyrolean Alps by European investigators but Mr Bland and his family are the first in the UK known to be associated with the resort.

    Like many of the European victims, Mr Bland visited the Kitzloch bar, which is famed for its apres ski parties. The bar is tightly packed and known for “beer pong” – a drinking game in which revellers take turns to spit the same ping-pong ball into a beer glass.

    Austrian prosecutors on Tuesday opened an criminal investigation into allegations a suspected infection in the resort of Ischgl was covered up allowing Covid-19 to spread across Europe undetected.

    I'm not sure where I stand at the moment, my current Visa here expired at the end of April and the British Embassy is informing that foreign visa's may not be extended until after this outbreak.

    I'm hoping that will not be the case, but if not, then I'll be heading home in April.

    The Coronavirus Bill has cleared the House of Lords without amendment.

    Over half a million people have now volunteered.

    All of the first 3.5m tests are being given to key workers.

    Almost six thousand tested yesterday, 22% tested positive, which is the highest amount of new cases in a day, but the death rate is well down, which is obviously very encouraging.
