Prime Time tonight was stark reality. Although not discussed on the program USA, Spain and UK are next in line to follow the extremely grim picture in Italy.. We will be in full lockdown by Friday of next week. I am not scaremongering it is simply clear as day to me. Self isolation by all is the only answer for us.
The USA may be up there with Italy already.
It appears tests were carried out but not enough laboratories were available to process the tests.
Laboratory capacity was ramped up two days ago to process the backlog and it is evident from the number of confirmed cases in the last two days, which rose from 6,411 to 13,859.
That is behind Spain and Germany with 18,077 and 15,320 confirmed cases respectively and ahead of France with 10,995.
Apparently it may take two weeks for the USA to work through the backlog.
The UK figures are low at 3,269 so far because of its very restricted testing, which does not reflect actual numbers.
