Is that 17 days the estimate of the interval between infection (or
maybe onset of symptoms) and death?
If so, if, in the UK we are (and probably always were) primarily
detecting (and counting/reporting) 'cases' only when they became ill
enough to require hospitalisation, then I imagine that, in the UK,
the interval between that counting/reporting and death could be a lot
less than 17 days, couldn't it?
Kind Regards,
John
