Hello
Can anyone point me data that shows the number of deaths and tests by sex and age in the countries where the numbers are mounting up? I can only find rates data.
Your help would be appreciated.
And as an aside:
Is there any stats/epidemiology experts who can correct my impression that, as the cases are so geographically widespread:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-number-of-cases-in-england/coronavirus-covid-19-number-of-cases-in-england <https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-number-of-cases-in-england/coronavirus-covid-19-number-of-cases-in-england>
the rate of UK testing has been far too low for days? (I have one case where a choir member is tested positive and yet other choir members can’t be tested despite several practices/performances over a few days! Hardly seems prudent.)
If you don’t look you won’t find:

And of course, if you don’t test everyone with symptoms, the denominator will be suppressed and the apparent death rate raised.
Is the low rate of testing due to a lack of kits rather than expert advice?

Finally are the university members of this group able to confirm or deny that students who are confirmed with the virus are being told not to mention it to colleagues as it is might provoke a sense of fear?
Many thanks,
Simon
