Spain at new record death toll

But last nights Sky report said UK would pass Spain & maybe even Italy

I know it's not a race or a numbers game but I'm not sure why Sky would predict that because the last trend modeller I saw yesterday was predicting that proportionately UK was behind Italy and Spain, and the US is at a worse place, at the same point in the outbreak.

We won't know for 1-2 weeks with any degree of certainty but I hope Sky isn't sensationalising again. This is much too serious for inaccurate reporting.

BREAKING

Far too much sensationalism in media.

the only thing we all know { including every government in Europe and sky TV } is that we do not know what tomorrow brings...

Percentage wise?

What are the populations of the three countries?

Spain has now overtaken Italy as the country with the highest number of cases in Europe - but it appears to be turning a corner.

Here's the latest news from Spain:

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is extending the country's lockdown until 26 April, Spanish newspaper El País reports. Spaniards have been in lockdown for three weeks, with a ban on all but essential outings and most businesses shut

Another 809 people have died over the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to 11,744

A further 7,026 have also been diagnosed, bringing the total number of cases to 124,736 - higher than Italy

This is, however, the first time in three days that the daily toll has been under 900, and is the lowest daily toll in a week

The figures have raised hopes that the country is nearing the peak of its outbreak

Has Spain reached peak in daily virus fatalities?

A reported 809 people have died of the coronavirus in Spain in the past 24 hours.

This is the first time in three days that the daily death toll has been under 900, and is the lowest number of deaths in a single day since 27 March.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says the country is "close to passing the peak of infections" but he has extended lockdown measures until 26 April.
