Confirmation via @DHSCgovuk: UK #COVID19 death toll has surpassed 10k, hitting 10,612.
Updated chart of UK trajectory 👇
- UK still hugging Italian line. May overtake it in coming days, indicating comparatively more severe outbreak
- NB weekend figs sometimes an understatement
The UK #COVID19 figs are dismaying.
These are not datapoints but families losing loved ones.
Lesson from other countries: UK trajectory need not have looked like this.
Small piece of good news: a week ago deaths were doubling every three days. Now they're doubling every six days.
Wondering why my #COVID19 charts have that odd logarithmic axis? Why they include China? Why they don't have a population adjusted chart or indeed what that would look like? Answers to those questions and more here: https://www.edmundconway.com/2020/04/covid-19-data-qa/
