“The deaths we are seeing now reflect the infections from 3 or 4 weeks ago,” Prof @DeenanDpillay.

This week, 5,000 ppl died of #COVID19.

Four weeks ago 250,000 ppl went to Cheltenham Festival, 50,000 ppl went to Liverpool v Madrid match, 5,000 people went to @stereophonics gig. https://twitter.com/stefsimanowitz/status/1238014499342495744
