ICU/CC Intensive care critical bed usage in the UK forecast and ICNARC data

ICU/CC Intensive care critical bed usage in the UK
Weekly ICNARC reports
Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre
Reported critical bed used versus my forecasts from curve below using trend to 6 April. All forecasts based on WHO case data reports 53-78:

 This is the forecast curve (most optimistic, given WHO reports 53-78):

 (c) D. Bellamy 2020.

 Revision late night 08 April 2020 from forecast curves
(range between optimistic and pessimistic forecast curves):

 19&20 March ranges   108-124 and 142-152 
26&27 March ranges   433-513  and 505-612
03&04 April ranges   1525-1673  and  1724 -1883
10&11 April ranges   3388-3428 and  3670-3770
17&18 April ranges   5310-5894 and 5569-6268.
My curves have risen a little more steeply than the actual figures, so far - but it is early in the trend and forecasts are realistic compared to actual numbers from ICNARC.

Letters I wrote to UK Government re COVID19

Here are some highlights of letters that I wrote to my Member of Parliament and to the UK government Prime Minister, Health Minister, the Shadow Health Minister and others on the subject of CO|VID-19. I received no reply to any of them except from Philip Hollobone, my local MP, who messaged Matt Hancock on my behalf and got a fairly terse reply. 1st March my email to MP: : 1mar: We are now no longer part of the nonsensical "freedom of movement of people" dogma that pervades the EU. This could be a deadly conceit on their part. We will see how it pans out for them. In my view, we should look to closing the Channel Tunnel and shutting off flights and ships not only from certain parts of CHina but from S. Korea, Italy, Iran and possibly others as this develops. Failure to act on this holds enormous risks in my view. I don't believe the platitudes from the WHO and some of the talking heads on TV. They are ignoring the high case fatality rate of this disease and assumin

UK very slow downtrend COVID not as good as Europe

Europe's curves are still looking better than the UK's but still tragic in deaths terms. R0 likely to be nearer to be 0.5. In UK R0 could be 0.8+ but I am not i the business of calculating that because it is only an instantaneous snapshot measure anyway. What matters are results. UK, Italy, Germany, France and Spain. Forecasts from 20 April are still matching reality pretty well. Less updating was done on France and Spain forecasts - they were not adjusted from a long time ago and use trend lines going way back to early March. These charts are updated as of 11 June but forecast curves are not updated. This shows that the forecasts have held for nearly 2 months. The I present comparisons between UK and other large population European countries. A picture paints a thousand words. Google and YouTube as usual are  making it more and more difficult to use older browsers forcing people to buy new computers. What a scam. I have shown them on YouTube here (only 7 minutes long):
