1
00:00:00,149 --> 00:00:03,540
we've seen in the world there have been

2
00:00:01,319 --> 00:00:06,060
ten point two million cases and

3
00:00:03,540 --> 00:00:08,400
confirmed by testing and half a million

4
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:11,429
deaths in the UK we've had three hundred

5
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,170
eleven thousand confirmed cases by

6
00:00:11,429 --> 00:00:15,059
testing and as we've said before perhaps

7
00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:16,920
seven percent of the population only

8
00:00:15,059 --> 00:00:18,480
have been affected and we know that's

9
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,920
forty three and a half thousand

10
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,199
confirmed deaths across all settings

11
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,109
according to official statistics but by

12
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:26,730
excess mortality well in excess of sixty

13
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:29,070
five thousand that we don't have precise

14
00:00:26,730 --> 00:00:30,720
figures day by day sometimes we see

15
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:32,610
quite low figures for the number of

16
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,190
infections but looking week on week

17
00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:39,000
really it's remaining very static George

18
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:42,420
hands Klug the European director of the

19
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,510
World Health Organization has warned

20
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:47,579
this week of increasing outbreaks across

21
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:50,430
many countries and settings including

22
00:00:47,579 --> 00:00:52,500
Sweden Spain Germany as we discussed

23
00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:55,860
last week which has an increase in its

24
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:58,440
our rate up to 2.8 and that was just

25
00:00:55,860 --> 00:01:00,570
associated with a few local outbreaks

26
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,600
what we're still not doing well in this

27
00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:04,799
country is testing and tracing and as a

28
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,729
result of that really we're seeing a

29
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:11,369
static number of of deaths currently and

30
00:01:08,729 --> 00:01:14,420
as you say lifting of the lockdown

31
00:01:11,369 --> 00:01:16,799
implies that in after the the usual

32
00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:18,900
observed lag of two to three weeks

33
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:20,520
we're very likely to see significantly

34
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:22,140
increased numbers again middle you know

35
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,729
if you just look at this week we've had

36
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:25,799
close to thousand deaths and that's

37
00:01:23,729 --> 00:01:29,040
likely to go up because there as you

38
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:31,020
know they they registered late and the

39
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,030
numbers are always revised upward so

40
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:35,430
really we're not seeing decreasing

41
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:38,130
numbers and if you look at that the the

42
00:01:35,430 --> 00:01:40,380
rate of infection is around static in

43
00:01:38,130 --> 00:01:42,270
most areas of the country so it's a

44
00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:43,800
problem at the moment that simply isn't

45
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:46,909
going away George
