UK Hospital deaths down to 229

Is there a shimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
I really hope everyone observe the lockdown properly to maintain progress

I see 288, but even accounting for weekend under-reporting that is still a low number, so here's hoping.

"The light at the end of the tunnel is the lamp on the front of an oncoming train."

Can't remember who said that.

335 new hospital reported deaths in the past 24 hours. The reason why this is higher than the 288 figure reported by the Department of Health is that the government’s new reporting system is better at capturing deaths which have actually occurred in the past 24 hours, so some of those 335 deaths will have already been reported in recent days.

The numbers are coming down quite fast when you consider there were 980 hospital deaths on one day at Easter. At this rate it will be less than 50 a day in 3 weeks time. Still bad, but easy to handle. If we are still in lock down then, other problems will be causing more a lot more deaths per day.

Isn't it traditional to have a low number on Monday?
