Ten more people in the UK have died in the last 24 hours after testing
positive for coronavirus, bringing the total number of deaths to 21.

在過去的24小時內，英國又有10人在冠狀病毒檢測中呈陽性而死亡，使死亡總人數達到21
人。

The UK government's chief medical adviser said the patients were all in
"at-risk" groups from across England.

英國政府首席醫療顧問表示，這些病人都來自英格蘭各地的“高危”群體。

The total number of confirmed cases in the UK has reached 1,140 while 37,746
people have been tested.

英國確診病例總數已達1140例，37746人接受了檢測。
（備註：目前英國死亡率低於2%，還沒有遇到醫療崩潰的情況，但遠高於醫療資源豐富
的德國，英國醫療資源不如德國、義大利、西班牙）

It comes as the government revealed plans to boost the number of NHS beds and
ventilators to treat people.

政府透露了增加NHS床位和呼吸機數量的計劃。

British manufacturing companies are to be tasked with increasing the
production of ventilators and other medical equipment, while the NHS could
also buy up thousands of beds in private hospitals.

英國製造業公司將承擔增加呼吸機和其他醫療設備產量的任務，而NHS也可以買下私人醫
院的數千張床位。

In a conference call with manufacturers on Monday, Prime Minister Boris
Johnson will urge them to join a "national effort" to tackle the virus.

週一，英國首相鮑里斯· 強森(Boris Johnson)在與製造商的電話會議上，將敦促他們
加入“全國努力”來對付這種病毒。

Downing Street says it has already been working with suppliers in the UK and
abroad to increase the nation's supply of ventilators.

英國政府表示，它已經與英國國內外的供應商合作，以增加英國的呼吸機供應。

Earlier, the Labour Party and GMB union called for the government to use
empty beds in "plush private hospitals" to ease the pressure on the NHS.

早些時候，工黨和GMB工會呼籲政府使用“豪華私立醫院”的空床位，以減輕對NHS的壓力
。

It comes as Prof Chris Whitty, the UK government's chief medical adviser,
warned that facilities for people needing oxygen and critical care beds would
be the parts of the NHS that will come under pressure first as the scale of
the outbreak increases.



Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump decided to suspend all travel between
the US and the UK and Ireland.


與此同時，美國總統唐納· 川普決定暫停美國、英國和愛爾蘭之間的所有旅行。

A No 10 spokesman said Mr Johnson had since spoken to Mr Trump, and set out
the "science-led approach" the UK is taking.

唐寧街10號的一位發言人表示，強森後來與川普進行了交談，並闡述了英國正在採取
的“以科學爲導向的方式”。

During their conversation, the two leaders also agreed on the "importance" of
international collaboration to fast-track the development of a vaccine.

在會談中，兩位領導人還就國際合作加快疫苗開發的“重要性”達成了一致。

It comes as France ordered non-essential locations used by the public to
close, and asked citizens to go out as little as possible. Several European
countries have closed their borders or shut their airports.

與此同時，法國下令關閉公衆使用的非必要場所，並要求市民儘可能少出門。一些歐洲國
家已經關閉了邊境或機場。

英國網友表示：
1,600 people die every day in the UK so the percentage remains low
英國每天有1600人死亡，所以這個比例仍然很低

it's only going to get much, much worse
情況只會變得更糟

So far this virus has killed less people UK ,than seasonal flu and sepsis.
到目前爲止，這種病毒在英國造成的死亡人數少於季節性流感和敗血症。

I’m all for keeping people informed but this has to be balanced so not to
create panic. How many have died of flu strains we know of in the same period.
我完全支持讓人們瞭解情況，但這必須保持平衡，以免造成恐慌。在同一時期有多少人死
於我們所知道的流感病毒。

Every life counts
Don’t underestimate this
I’m Italian I know you’ll go through dark days as we are doing but locking
down is the only chance to stop the virus
每一個生命都重要
不要低估這
我是義大利人，我知道你會像我們一樣經歷黑暗的日子，但封鎖是阻止病毒的唯一機會

as a Spanish person living in England, after seeing what’s going in my home
country, I seriously don’t understand how the government isn’t taking
measures at this point. please do something before more people die
作爲一個生活在英國的西班牙人，在看到我的祖國發生的事情後，我真的不明白政府在這
一點上爲什麼沒有采取措施。請在更多的人死之前做點什麼

Close the fucking schools then for a start
那就先關閉他媽的學校吧

Did they die of the disease or did they die while having the disease? Because
from what I've been reading no one has died from the disease they have died
from their own conditions while having the disease so what you're saying is
misleading and basically scaremongering
他們是死於這種疾病還是死於這種疾病?因爲據我所知，沒有人死於這種疾病，他們死於
自己的身體狀況，只是同時患有這種疾病，所以你所說的是誤導，基本上是危言聳聽

If the government don’t close the schools then there’s no doubt that
parents will keep their kids off school to protect them anyway. If the
government won’t protect us then we’ll just start protecting ourselves & we
’ll go on our own lockdown. #covid19_uk  #ukcoronavirus
如果政府不關閉學校，那麼毫無疑問，父母會讓他們的孩子離開學校來保護他們。如果政
府不能保護我們，那麼我們將開始保護自己&我們將繼續我們自己的封鎖。# covid19_uk
# ukcoronavirus

Why are so many people underestimating this? These numbers will be a drop in
the ocean in a few weeks time unfortunately!
爲什麼這麼多人低估了這一點?不幸的是，這些數字在幾周內將是滄海一粟!

And UK is planning for herd immunity
英國正在計劃羣體免疫

Big deal. Currently just under 100,000 deaths from seasonal flu so far this
year but a mere 5,445 from #Coronavirus:
https://economicsurvivor.me.uk/2020/03/preventative-cure-for-coronavirus.html
沒什麼大不了的。目前，今年到目前爲止，死於季節性流感的人數將近10萬人，但死於
冠狀病毒的人數只有5445人

But yesterday it was only 10 in total - the growth is exponential - that's
what's the worrying bit 1% today, 2% tomorrow, 4% Monday, 8% Tuesday .....
 How long before YOU think we should be doing something more?
但昨天總共只有10個——增長是指數級的——這就是令人擔憂的地方今天1%，明天2%，星
期一4%，星期二8%……你認爲我們應該多做些什麼?

More than that died in a tornado the other day in America,not an eyelid
batted..
前幾天在美國發生的龍捲風造成的死亡人數比這還多，連眼皮都沒眨一下。

People are dying as they have the virus, will locking down the country help?
Im listening to the scientists
人們因爲感染病毒而死亡，封鎖這個國家會有幫助嗎?我聽科學家們的
