If you think things are bad in Italy, the UK faces an even worse outcome based on its rapidly rising death rate.
It took Italy 5 days for the number of deaths to increase 5x from 21 to 107.
It only took the UK 4 days for the number of deaths to increase 5x from 21 to 104.
The UK is 14 days behind Italy and gaining! in a race that you definitely don't want to win.
It has 4 days to completely lock down the country Italy style or face far worse outcomes than Italy (which is set to shortly take China's ghoulish crown of most deaths from Coronavirus).
Remember, every death means 800-1000 real cases. Thus the UK has around 100,000 real cases but is reporting only 2% of them.
That means 98% of those infected are out there in the wild spreading the disease!
