Total UK COVID-19 Cases
As of 9th April
NB: Public Health England has now moved to a different reporting time for UK COVID-19 fatalities, as family consent is now needed to release mortality statistics. Hence the reported figures may not actually be the deaths that have taken place over the past 24 hours, meaning caution needs to be exercised when comparing figures from one day to the next.

Excerpt from J P Morgan: Vaccine and anti-viral update; the Chloroquine controversy; Convalescent plasma (Last update 4th April 2020)
Critique of Study by Gautret el al, March 2020: Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin as a treatment of COVID-19: preliminary results of an open-label non-randomized clinical trial
non-randomized trial with only 36 patients, and had no discussion of outcomes
excluded 6 recipients that were not discussed, some of whom of required ventilation and/or died
started out with higher viral loads in the control group than in the infected patients, which could explain why the control group showed higher infected rates at the conclusion of the study
imputed more than 1/3 of the control group virus tests rather than measuring them
sourced its treatment group (unlike the control group) from a single medical center

School closure and management practices during coronavirus outbreaks including COVID-19: a rapid systematic review
Prof Russell M Viner, PhD, Simon J Russell, PhD, Helen Croker, PhD, Jessica Packer, MEpi, Joseph Ward, MBBS Claire Stansfield, PhD et al.
Published: April 06, 2020
This review identifies studies from SARS outbreak and COVID-19 outbreak. The overall findings were of a lack of data on the benefit of school closures on transmission of coronaviruses. The authors identify that the majority of data suggesting a benefit of school closures in outbreak control is derived from influenza pandemics, which have very different transmission characteristics.
