UK’s coronavirus death toll is HIGHER than Italy’s was at the same stage of their outbreak, certain figures suggest
Data shows Britain has had more deaths on the 21st day since its tenth death than Italy had
After the same number of days following the tenth death in Italy, which has suffered the most deadly coronavirus outbreak of any country, 2,505 people had died. On the corresponding days in Italy the rate was relatively stable, with 370 deaths followed by two days when there were 347. It did jump up to 473 the day after though.However, if a different death toll is used as the starting point, the results will differ.For example, the government last night released a graph comparing the number of deaths in the UK, Italy, Spain, France and a number of other countries since each country recorded its 50th death.
“The way things are, I think it’s quite likely we will significantly pass the 20,000 deaths ‘target’ set out by the government.”When asked about the latest figures from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, which show the UK’s death rate increasing faster than Italy, Prof Hunter said: “You’re not wrong."In the end we will be at least as bad as Italy, whether we are worse or slightly better – we will see in a month or two.
