813. HOSPITAL deaths. (20,341 total) 13.7%

28,781 Tests (640,792 total)

73,614 People (517,836 total). This includes a retrospective 50,499 people with negative tests between 31/1/20 - 24/4/20. It seems not ALL labs reported ALL results. WHAT?!

4913 +ve. ( 148,377 total)
Taking into account a large extra cohort of 50k people (30/1/20-24/4/20) who were tested but produced -ve results it looks as if about 28% of the people actually tested are positive out of over a half a mill people tested

But horrendous deaths-7 weeks since 1st hospital death
I also add some new charts from @ARedRobinson that focuses on exponential growth rates. This shows a marked downward trend overall, even though recorded HOSPITAL deaths remain high

This from @GreatStrides65 shows the curve of the death toll, confirming that it started to plateau after 10th April before gradually descending but still a long way to go before getting to near zero again.

Especially with over 4K new +ves yesterday

And a reminder from @ChrisGiles_ yesterday that the excess deaths linked to the CV outbreak are likely to be in excess of 45k & still rising

And bound to keep rising as long as we are finding over 4K +ves a day when testing only 23,115 people yesterday.

Remember it tends to take several weeks from symptoms to death. And we have, since the peak, still been getting over 4K positives every single day. Already in the system.

14 days x 4K = 56k
13.5% mortality = 7560 HOSPITAL deaths likely AT LEAST.

Plus all still to come
@ChrisGiles_ updates his model and projection based on information that deaths announced today include c 150 Wnglish deaths that would have been included in the ONS data up to & inc 10 April.

We will have to wait and see what delays there are in ONS data
