Old prediction for Cases: 16,350
Old prediction for Deaths: 337
Actual cases: 11,301
Actual deaths: 258
Still pending the update from the rest of China later today.
So, I mean, better than predicted (hopefully) but there are still a ton of "Suspected" cases and numerous reports about test kit shortages not telling the full story.
Next update should be in 2 hours. We'll see how that changes things.

Keep calm and carry on.
Thing is I don't even see people improving their hygiene habits in spite of this news (perhaps I'm expecting too much as Brits aren't known for being regular hand washers). I suppose you're right – people may only change their behaviour when it starts hitting closer to home. I heard a vaccine could be year away, so it looks as if things will get bad.

Well I'll be fucking glad if this is true.

That's a very strong decline in cases and deaths. Thank goodness.

You're mistaking hand washing for teeth brushing.

Came in here to say the same thing lmao.
We really ARE the great unwashed! Brits 'too busy' to wash their hands after using the loo - while over half of men skip their daily shower
Millions of Britons neglect a string of basic personal hygiene tasks - because they are too busy or too lazy, a survey found today.
I've seen it myself. A poor attitude to hand washing extends across all classes. I've seen attractive middle class women leave the toilet without washing their hands or even if they do “wash”, it's five seconds under the tap. It's disgusting.

always chasing the next thrill
Agreed then use it as a waste place for europeans
In beauty salons, the toilet is in a separate location to the taps.

Yesterday had more than 1200 cases. Two updates were made. And I'm saying a decline to what was predicted.

Why are you watching women come out the toilet in a beauty salon?

That was the worldwide figure right? We haven’t received that today yet.
Insane Metal

I'm saying in relation to the predictions. They say there should be around 15k cases today and >340 deaths. That's not gonna happen.
bitbydeath

Ah gotcha. Yep, that is good.
It's hard not to notice when you're in the salon. You see the type of clients coming in and out.

My concern is the other areas (where we'll get the update later) are just getting to where Wuhan was a week or two ago, so we COULD see those ramping up significantly in the next 4-5 days. That would likely be what would be needed to get to the 47% continual increase as predicted.
Also, the THOUSANDS of "suspected" cases make it hard to argue that we're actually below the total # of cases. HOPEFULLY the reported deaths are accurate (but who knows).
Also, nothing to see here.

So British people don't wash thier hands becuse you watch women come out the bathroom, who for all you know just fixed hair and makeup in there and a daily Mail link? I've spent many hours in public toilets, hourly cleaning them was part of my job at the time and the vast majority do wash thier hands. Obviously men's toilets.

What's your obsession creeper?
I'll back B Breakage up on this. Where I freelance the management have anti-bac dispensers outside the toilets and make a big deal out of people using them especially around winter as its a small office and people off sick has a big impact on workload, however by on large you hardly ever see the women use them at all. I'm all in on that free anti-bac. I don't get paid for being ill

What is your malfunction exactly? The dude is talking about his place of work. Do you not notice the behaviour of your work colleagues and others?

Adress the point, not attach the poster. When he's made two posts criticising British people he's gonna get clapped back on.

And how exactly is his sample size big enough to say a whole country of people don't wash their hands?
It's bullshit.

Like it not he linked to an article based on a report. How about you address that first. Also, you realise the reason people washed their hands when you were scrubbing urinals is because you being there made them self-conscious.

I don't “watch” women come out of the bathroom. I directed to them a single cubicle toilet. There's nothing in there except one toilet. The taps were located on the main floor. So when they came out, they could wash their hands and I could see if and how they did this.
I noticed that many didn't or if they did it was a very brief rinse under the water. Very few actually built up a proper lather with soap and rubbed their hands together for 15 to 30 seconds. These were women from all sorts of backgrounds and income levels.
Just take the time to look at the way people wash their hands in everyday settings. Many do not have a good attitude to hygiene. There is lazy attitude to regular and proper hand washing in this country. I used to think it was a class thing, but it definitely isn't. But if you think I'm talking nonsense then that's ok. For some reason, it seems you're more interested in pushing the “you're a pervert” angle.

Daily mail reporting + a quoted sample size of 2000 + 8 year old survey = bullshit.
It doesn't take a genius to work that out and it's sad that it even needs pointing out considering the fact that it's the Daily Mail.

People that have been given a green light and left hospital after contracting virus have surpassed numbers of those who have perished for the first time;
Death rate is still hovering around 1-2% of infected which is the only thing that matters.

The Mail didn't carry out the survey, they just reported on it. Survey versus your disbelief? I'll take the Former.
I never said the Mail carried out the survey, try again. The issue I take is with their sensationalist style of reporting:
Millions huh? OK, let's read on... :
Oh nevermind, just 2000 people were surveyed and they've extrapolated that data to somehow be applicable to "millions". With such a degree of extrapolation, maybe our Breakage wrote the article?
Taking the nature of their reporting you'd actually be wise to take everything written in the article with a massive grain of salt, especially considering they fail to provide a link to the raw data.
But you go ahead, believe the Daily Mail
Meanwhile:

Really interesting read about the American who came down with it in WA...
Went to the hospital after a couple days and STILL came down with pneumonia in the hospital.
Also, shit.

For every one of those disgusting videos that show animal cruelty from China (that are used for food not that it makes it better) there exists the European equivalent of teens/kids that do it for the lulz.
