> Testing Criteria in UK...
And? The specific testing methodology doesn't prove that the speed of new people getting sick and die will change anytime soon without establishing very strong measures, which is the only information that you need to know.
Calculate yourself the speed in any country, not just the UK. See the numbers 6 days ago, see the numbers 3 days ago, see the numbers now. How many days is the doubling time? Three days. What does it mean? The factor of 2 ^ 10 in 30 days: one thousand TIMES more cases needing hospital in four weeks.
Some numbers now show (with big measures introduced!) 4 days. That reduces the factor to around 200 TIMES more cases needing hospital in four weeks.
There aren't that many hospitals in the world.
Nobody can conclude from the available data that it doesn't spread that fast, as it's consistent across many countries and different amount of testing, it can be concluded just that the virus still didn't spread across all the places it could, and that it's an interest of everybody to stop that spread.
