The thing to remember about the statistics is that some countries are doing more testing so they will find more cases, and the death tolls only count people who die in hospitals.
It can look like some countries are doing better than they really are. Obviously North Korea doesn't really have...
As of today they have set-up a lab locally which can do testing with results available the same day, instead of having to use limited facilities in the UK.
They'll be testing hospital patients and workers first.
Bear in mind that virus particles travel up to 8 metres when someone sneezes, and possibly further inside buildings with fans/aircon. Normal breathing travels 2 metres.
It's not possible that a 1 metre distance is keeping you safe, it will be because of something else, e.g. nobody you work with...
I hope its working.

I'm not quite buying the idea that China has this completely under control.
They don't count cases where the test comes back positive but the person has no symptoms (yet)!
The worry is that their leaders just want everyone back working in factories regardless of the risks.
Local schools are closing Friday and nationally they're also cancelling exams in England and Wales.
Only 6 people have tested positive locally out of a population of about 110,000, but hard to say if that's the real picture.
I just got a work unit for this one:
