Did they release numbers today?
I don't know, but they have reversed their earlier stance and are planning to release daily updates again.
FWIW There was a case reported in South Africa earlier Tikay
Pleased to see my bokking powers remain intact.

Betfair market still managing to go wild in all directions on a delay in getting the numbers
It's like when they call out "no more bets" at a roulette table

Broken the 2.5m mark today, too.
If it drifts again I'm completely greening out as I can't see it getting cancelled now.

Boris Johnson and the Tories appear to be taking a position of let the virus take its course through the population. I wonder how many of their pensioner voters realise now how important the NHS and caring for other people is.
I couldn't give a shit if I personally get infected, I am not in a vulnerable group and I can easily self isolate for 1 month. I just don't want to infect my loved ones or anyone else.
If I was a rich man or woman over the age of 70 I would definitely **** off right now to a hot climate. It's not been given as advice anywhere but everything I have analysed says to me that is the smart thing to do.

Jayzuuuz effing C.....drama queen much? Do you work for the Daily Mail or something? The disease WILL take its course regardless of government intervention whether tory or labour....it is what it is. Don’t think any govt would be better that another....they wouldn’t.
My mum is 86 and pretty well off and she isn’t going anywhere so stop spouting bollox mate....

Look at the WHO data on infection rates. Countries with high temperatures are not spreading this virus. It it prospering in colder climates. I take that as solid evidence it has a problem with the higher temps.
If you took offence at the suggestion the Tories are considering a harder line on this thing then I point you to Boris Johnsons comments today on This Morning
"He told ITV's This Morning programme: "One of the theories is perhaps you could take it on the chin, take it all in one go and allow the disease to move through the population without really taking as many draconian measures. I think we need to strike a balance.""

You cannot state as a fact that all Governments would have an identical response or that this virus situation would play out identically to every different response. What would a Corbyn government have done in this situation? Nobody knows. He was big on funding the NHS and looking after people though, and lots of other countrys in Europe that have a problem with infections have taken restrictions to slow the spread of the virus.

All this talk of don't worry, it'll only kill the old and vulnerable doesn't do much for me really. Everyone else will just be laid up for weeks and nearly dying, but escaping. That sounds like something I'd quite like to avoid too if possible.

Everyone else won't be nearly dying, most young people should just get flu like symptoms.
If 5% of the population with the virus will need intensive care (current estimate), how does the NHS cope when we have a million new cases a week? At current growth rates that could be as early as May/June.
We have 4,000 intensive care beds and many of those will be out of action through staff sickness and maybe patients from the week before.
The UK chief medical officer has stated this morning that they think mortality is under 1%, and Trump has that hunch too :/
1% may well be curently true, but is it going to be 1% in June and July? I think we really have to hope the hot weather does slow it down/kill the virus. I think there is good evidence it does, and it isn't somebody spouting bollocks, as the spread seems slower in the likes of Singapore.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots
