Besides Germany's exceptional leadership by Angela Merkel, a scientist, in their success vs #SARSCoV2, there is another key scientist: @c_drosten. He and his exceptional work is profiled today, by @kakape @ScienceMagazine https://t.co/5WpcYuBojj w/ @ScienceVisuals @nirja_desai

Also suggests excess mort is good proxy for true Covid death toll.

If excess deaths were just capturing heart attacks at home, deaths directly related to lockdown etc, we’d expect excess mort to rise similarly everywhere.

But we see far bigger spikes where outbreaks are worst.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

UK:
• Hospitals across GB now have fewer Covid patients than same time last week
• Suggests GB at or near peak for new infections, tho UK testing is lagging & care homes course absent from this data
• But Northern Ireland behind GB on the curve, hospital occupancy accelerating

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

And more promising news for the UK:

This chart shows net change in Covid patients in intensive care (data from the @ICNARC sample).

UK now has fewer people in intensive care beds than the same time last week 👍

[Benjamin Alvarez @BenjAlvarez1]

This is how Angela Merkel explained the effect of a higher #covid19 infection rate on the country's health system.

This part of today's press conf was great, so I just added English subtitels for all non-German speakers. #flattenthecurve

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

Stunning graphics from @sdbernard in this brilliant story by @lesliehook & @alekswis on how coronavirus lockdowns are improving urban air quality https://t.co/sDn5VNHDrU

[Luke Gompels @llgomp]

@russellearnshaw @edwardcropley Yes, think so. Hope all well with you and fams.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

Now our newest chart: small multiples of daily deaths in subnational regions:
• We’ve added lines for England, Scotland & Wales (N.Ireland to come). England by far the steepest of the UK countries, followed by Scotland
• London’s death toll still rising faster than Wuhan’s did

[Kenton Cool @KentonCool]

This is utter genius.
I simply had to share this for all those folk like me who are missing mountain sports!! #stayathome #freeride
