Another big decrease in hospital numbers. I don't suppose one more in ICU is a reason to despair, since the overall trend is still downwards.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

For example there were 354 positive cases out of 1,660 tests on 25th April. Yesterday there were just 188 positive cases out of 2180 tests. So 166 fewer cases despite 520 more tests.
This should show big reductions in hospitalisations, ICU and deaths in next 2-3 weeks.

As we move through the next week I fully expect to see a further reduction.

I recall around a week to 10 days ago seeing something which confirmed that 50% was community based and the remaining hospital or caste home transmission.

Bit of a rude response to the journalist there from Sturgeon when he asked if he could be heard. I wonder if there's previous between them?
First time I've heard her make such a response during these press briefings.

Did she say anything of note regarding low testing levels, information around the R number, or timings for any sort of exit plan being presented?

I suppose it's why countries with low levels of existing cases who are now coming out of lockdown won't stress so much about the R number fluctuating so it occasionally hits 1 or between 1 and 2.

I appreciate it's probably complicated and has its flaws but it would be nice to know the range of R number that we think applies and how quickly it changes, what makes it different to the rest of the UK, and if it's the right thing to be using to decide next steps.

The UK government are constantly lagging behind their testing targets (targets they seemed keen to increase) and we're doing even worse.Mon the Hibs.

I think the Scottish testing numbers are excluding those that are taking place in the UK testing banner...I’m not sure though as both governments fudged their target numbers at end of April and have been rather reluctant to clarify anything about them since.
Scottish new cases still seem to be dominated by care home numbers. Using the BBC graph that suggests almost 140 new care home cases today...so a huge portion of the 188 new cases reported.
The new cases have been dominated by care homes for a while but today it seems they are almost exclusive to them. While tragic for those in care homes it does (at least using the very course data provided) suggest that community transmission is as good as zero.
Which leads me to wonder just where that R number is coming from and if it’s actually any use in evidencing the wider threat.

If it's getting tricky to follow the varying lockdown measures across the four home nations then this could add a whole new layer of complexity.

Today’s numbers represent another small drop in UK deaths, which is good.
I can’t help but still be afraid of what we’re going to see in 2 weeks time though. Seeing the images from the tube and busses in London is horrendous, and just asking for another explosion.It's hard to stitch my own back with these shaky hands
But even harder to accept the scars you left were planned
