I was talking to an healthcate academic (uk) amd he is predicting 1% of the national population dying. Its the worst case but he thinks its possible due to our governments slow reaction to the crisis.
@Burnley123 Sadly if Italy is a guide once the NHS is overwhelmed that percentage goes up.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Hes predicting the nhs being overwhelmed but also having sone effect in reducing deaths. Also that some high risk people wont get it.

Hes soneone big on stats and resource allocation in the NHS and teaches medical science at the London Imperial college. Hes predicting 500,000 deaths, with everything factored in and he is a well positioned expert.
