Rate of infection may be 'just about slowing' in the UK....heard that one before, in Italy and other places. It seems crazy to treat this speculation as news, given that Italy repeatedly thought the peak had been reached, and it turned out that it hadn't....
Of course not surprising that this is given news status since our overlords want us all to return to work as soon as possible, and a few (thousand) deaths here and there is the price to pay as far as they're concerned. Can you imagine what will happen when countries inevitably try to open up again for business before the virus has been contained...? The work pressure, social pressure, mixed messages etc is going to be far more of a headfuck than even anything we've seen so far.
Like that point in Jaws where people gingerly step into the water again, firstly with extreme caution, and then gradually as herd mentality takes over, with abandon. And then someone gets eaten, because hey, the shark's not actually dead!
