Any good news on Covid19?
I managed to find some.
Italy adopted a full national lockdown on March 9 and Spain did the same on March 14. The number of people dying each day has been stable in Italy for the last ten days, and has been growing much more slowly in Spain for the last eight.
In fact most countries that engage in this level of physical isolation are seeing the rate of new cases level off or decline 1-3 weeks later, as we hoped and expected.
Consistent with that, researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine just estimated that the reproductive rate of the coronavirus in the UK is now below 1, thanks to people mostly staying at home. If that’s correct the number of new cases will level off and then decrease over the next 6 weeks.
So, while it's much too early to take the brakes off, there are signs that the measures the authorities are putting in place WILL work in the coming weeks.
There are lots of people, like the 3,000 in the Park in London on Saturday and the Scottish minister forced to resign, that will delay the recovery, but it is on it's way.
We'll meet again !!!
