Coronavirus: UK could be 'worst affected' country in Europe

I will need to stop early afternoon drinking from home, I could swear blind Man Hancock said they were going to give care workers special badge as a reward rather than PPE or a pay rise

And it's not as it it is new, came out in 2019: The CARE™ Badge

Presumably he thinks he's Akela and everyone will get a badge depending on their job...

Looking at all the various charts, RKI, Worldometer, PHE, Google why is there no figure for the UK for cases where people have recovered in the UK. Every other country shows this figure but not the UK, anyone care to take a guess?

Not enough tests to perform 2 negative tests needed to qualify somebody as recovered?

People who have recovered are probably happy enough to get out of hospital, unlikely to complain loudly about not being included into recovered figures.

Also chances are people are kicked off hospital before full official recovery to do so at home as hospital beds are scarce.

Most likely explanation

Bollocking bollocks:

The spokesman claimed Britain now has the capacity to carry out more than 35,000 coronavirus tests a day. NHS laboratories could do about 20,000 a day, and the rest could be carried out in commercial laboratories, the spokesman said. But he said the most recent figure for the number of tests carried out was 15,994 in the 24-hour period up to 9am yesterday. Asked why the government was testing less than half the number of people it could test, the spokesman said capacity was being build all the time, and the reasons testing had been flat was because of a lack of demand, not a lack of capacity. He said the long bank holiday weekend was a factor.

WTF! Nearly everyone is at home, ******* piss poor excuse...So what are they covering up?

They are only testing people who need ICU and small number of Nhs staff - so there are brakes on PERMITTED demand, if they relax criteria then demand will go up 10 times at least
