Coronavirus reported comfirmed cases and deaths by country

Well the lockdown only started on Tuesday. It won't start to have any real effect on the numbers for around two weeks yet.
Exactly. The complacency we showed as a country, will almost certainly turn out to be fatal for thousands. Whether the reported death tolls were correct or not, China locked down early, and put measures in place to control geographical spreads. We knew what was coming. A virus with a mortal nature and a recent demonstrable history of exponential growth. We should have shut up shop immediately. To think that people were buying into herd immunity?!! And touting it as a reason to keep the schools open? This is the concept that we let everyone just get it, because after a while, it will have no one left to infect - and then die out. But not before condemning our parents and grandparents to an early grave and completely over-running the health care system. |

smoking does play a part ...Po valley in Italy also heavily polluted /poor air quality too ... some of the unfortunate cases maybe worked in heavy industry ?
China also heavily polluted ...not sure about Wuhan itself . Imagine Middlesbrough if you like for us  |

Australia's death rate is extremely low ...what's going on there ? ...they have a similar lockdown procedure to us dates etc ... although they did the quarantine measures /ban flights etc.
NZ in lockdown after only one death. Way to go In fact NZs first victim might be the first victim in my town here in the UK .... moved over here to live |

Why are some neighbouring suburbs having roughly the same population could have 50% more tested positive eg Sutton and Merton?

Italy is down to travel to China and back around Chinese New Year on Jan 24 by a lot of its large Chinese immigrant population, its 23% population over 65 and primarily the fact that 60% of deaths and 40% of cases are confined to one province, Lombardy, with 1/6th of the population (11m), resulting in massive and prolonged overwhelming of the hospitals there. Also hugging and kissing to greet people. Smoking would be a relatively minor factor.
