@Invicta:
Number of deaths like yesterday has stayed tragically high at over 500. Devastating and unbelievable at the death toll here in the UK now.
There is a glimmer of hope as the number of infections detected has gone down from 4000 to 3000 in the last day.
So for around the last week, UK has been detecting a constant ~3000 infected people a day. This suggests a potential plateauing of the virus spread.
See graph below for that glimmer of hope as regards the number of people now getting infected - today's figure of 3000 has not been included:

Yeah mate just heard the news, heartbreaking. Really hoping that this is the change in the trend and not an everyday theme like it is in Italy/Spain.

France reports record 509 more coronavirus deaths, toll tops 4,000
By Agence France-Press on April 2, 2020
PARIS: France on Wednesday reported its highest daily number of deaths from COVID-19 since the coronavirus epidemic began, saying 509 more people had died in hospital to bring the toll to 4,032.
There are now 24,639 people hospitalised in France with COVID-19, with 6,017 of them in intensive care, health official Jerome Salomon told reporters in his daily update. The death toll on Tuesday had risen by 499.
The French figures include only those who died in hospital and not those who died at home or in old people's homes.
The number of confirmed cases also rose by 4,861 to 56,989. Many cases however go unregistered because of a lack of testing equipment.
Salomon noted that the number of people in intensive care was already above France's pre-crisis intensive care capacity of around 5,000.
France has been in lockdown since March 17 in a bid to slow the spread of the epidemic and officials have repeatedly warned it will take time for the measures to bear fruit.
French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe told a parliamentary committee Wednesday that when the confinement finally came to an end, it would likely be a step-by-step process.
He said it would probably not be “all at once, everywhere and for everyone" indicating it could to subject to where people live, testing and their age.
The possibility in the coming weeks and months of stepped-up testing would allow the government to ascertain “the proportion of our fellow citizens who have been contaminated" and thus the degree to which the French population has immunity, he said.
France is currently carrying out 30,000 tests a day, far fewer than in neighbouring Germany, a weakness that has been repeatedly noted by the right-wing opposition.
But France is hoping to greatly ramp up testing in the coming days and weeks with the arrival of serology blood tests and then rapid tests that can provide results in minutes.
The government's strategy is aimed at limiting the peak of the epidemic so that the health system is not overwhelmed.
Hospitals have been under immense stress in the east of the country — one of the worst hit areas — but also in the region around Paris. One hundred more patients will be transferred from Paris to elsewhere in France on Thursday.
Interior Minister Christophe Castaner warned residents to write off any travel plans for school holidays starting this weekend, promising to punish any unwarranted movement.

Of course the number of actually infected people is likely to be much higher as only mainly those that get severe symptoms and need hospital treatment are currently tested due to lack of testing volume at present - eagerly awaiting Matt Hancock to explain in detail later on today the government's specific plan to scale the testing up massively.
What we can take hope from is the what looks like a plateau over the last week at around 3000 new infections detected as this gives indication that the virus spread is going up linearly and not exponentially.
If we look at Italian new cases and deaths over the last two weeks they have stayed around some kind of constant number- which is what you would expect.
I am pinning to the hope that the UK may have already hit it's peak number of new cases and deaths, which although astoundingly awful and high may spare the UK what has and is happening in Italy/Spain.

You mixed up the figures I believe. Over the last 24 hours,471 people died of the coronavirus in hospitals.
The government today estimated 864 people died in nursing homes since the epidemic started,deaths in nursing homes which weren't counted,yet. So here's your 471+864 = 1,355 figure.
