THE UK has surpassed coronavirus-ravaged Italy's deadliest day after 938 Brits died from the disease - taking the grim total to over 7,000.
Positive cases in the UK have also hit 60,733 - up from 55,242 infections yesterday.
The Department of Health today confirmed a total of 7,097 have died in the UK from coronavirus.
The figure was expected to be high as yesterday's UK total death toll of 6,159 did not include Manchester, Leeds or Northern Ireland.
And the true death toll is actually higher as the DoH figures today did not factor in Northern Ireland, Southampton or Charing Cross due to a processing delay.
Today's jump of 938 deaths is higher than Italy’s worst day when 919 people died.
And victims are continuing to rise - with the equivalent of one Brit dying from the bug every two minutes.
NHS England confirmed the latest victims were aged between 22 and 103 - including a 35-year-old with no underlying health conditions.
A further 45 coronavirus victims had no previous medical issues.
In Scotland today, 70 more people have died - bringing the total to 296.

Nazi Pelousy’s fault.
Hopefully Boris Yeltsin won’t succumb.
Italy has 292 deaths per million, UK has 105.
BHT and lipid coated viruses
“Abstract
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a potent inactivator of lipid-enveloped viruses. The viral envelope structure is physically disturbed by BHT, thereby interfering with viral adsorption to host cells. Since the virus responsible for AIDS (HTLV III) contains a lipid envelope, BHT warrants investigation as a potential antiviral agent against the AIDS virus.”
This study was suggested in May 1987. A better example of how Big Pharma ignore cheap products, from they can’t make much money, might be difficult to find, excepting their previous attacks on resveratrol itself.
HLTV III stands for Human Leukaemia Type Virus 3.
BHT seems to deactivate the entire range of lipid coated viruses -the Herpes Zoster Viruses such Chickenpox (which is not an inevitable disease of childhood — BHT stops it in its tracks — and Chickenpox can turn into painful shingles and reappears in later life cuasing reddened scaly skin). As the internet comments “Shingles is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. Even after the chickenpox infection is over, the virus may live in your nervous system for years before reactivating as shingles. Shingles may also be referred to as herpes zoster.”
About half of virus diseases are caused by lipid-coated viruses. See http://www.rifeenergymedicine.com/BHT.html which says “This [BHT] virus suppression is for the great majority of viruses to the point that no clinical symptoms of their presence are observable in infected individuals other than anti-bodies tests. However, no drug company is going to apply for FDA approval to sell BHT as a anti-viral over the counter drug. This is because the patent on BHT has run out. Once one drug company has again gone through all of the same testing that BHT had to go through the first time for use as a food additive, but now as a drug, then any other drug company can sell BHT after FDA approval of the first drug company. There is no big money monopolistic profit in it. So what we have is the FDA’s, AMA’s, and drug companies dirty secret, that millions of people are suffering and dying needlessly. It should also be mentioned that the above daily dosage of BHT with vitamin E also slows your aging rate by at least 25 %.”
BHT is not popular with some of the oils and fat producers, because it keeps oils fresh, and thus reduces the demand for vegetable and cooking oils. The usual scaremongering massive dosage experiments have indicated one danger of BHT. For example, if any individual takes vast amounts of BHT — say 73 grams per day, or 292 250 mg tablets per day — then, according to the scaling-up of rat experiments, BHT could cause some liver damage.
Paracelsus, the “father of medicine” said (in German) that “The dose makes the poison”. Many products which are totally safe in small doses are damaging and sometimes fatal in large enough doses. That fact has been used to attack the usefulness of many health-improving products so that the expensive treatments pushed by big Pharma are used in preference to cheaper, usually safer and more effective solutions.
A balanced view of the benefits and dangers of BHT is at http://www.advance-health.com/bht.html where the large benefits and the “wonky overload” research is summarised, and where that source says:
“A few of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be affected by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, ckytomegalovirus, west nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus. Remember that BHT has not been clinically tested and approved to treat these infections.”
In my view BHT is not generally required as a daily supplement, but it is useful to keep a bottle of 100 250mg tablets because if you (or a loved one) are suffering from an attack of one of the many lipid-coated viruses, you can stop such attacks in its tracks. When my eldest daughter caught chickenpox at school in 1975, I gave her one 250mg tablet of BHT with ice cream (BHT is fat-soluble, so taking it with a fat-containing food helps absorption). The chicken-skin appearance — the sure sign on her chest of the chickenpox infection — disappeared and we took her back to the doctor, who said “I must have misdiagnosed”. He hadn’t.
As stated in this article, if there exists a chance for infection it is advisable to take it in advance. I also may not be a bad idea to keep this article in mind. For what it is worth, I been taking it for some time now in a range of around 450 to 500 mg/day dissolved in olive oil.
“Hopefully Boris Yeltsin won’t succumb.”
He is long gone.
These ChiCom virus stats need to be broken down by demographics and neighborhoods. So that people will know what areas to avoid when they must go out for supplies.
That is horrifying. 7k deaths and last week was barely in 3 digits.
Prayers for you guys.
Have you incorporated strict social distancing?
Leave out the us politics, or even Brexit.
This is something affecting everyone, not limited by political stance
Whether he does or doesn’t is, right now, irrelevant.
What is important is for the UK not to be on the same trajectory as Italy and to save lives.

From whence came this? I ask because I’d like to share it with proper attribution. Thanks!
Interesting stuff.
Grim milestone...recycled from Iraq war
It's unfortunate, but the 'Rats never do.
Boris Yeltsin?
Probably meant Karloff.
Oh C’mon, somebody had to say it.
We aren’t Dimocrats
Their NHS should be able to handle it. To the Brits it’s The Miracle Worker.
In normal times I would rate the NHS as worthy of praise -- but that doesn't mean that that system which works in a denser packed country of 68 million will work in the USA - it wont'
In times of this epidemic where there need to be a number of ICU quarantined beds, then no matter what system, it can be overwhelmed.
This is not a point of debate of private vs NHS care as both would fail with a sudden surge in numbers.
Seriously, leave the politics aside for a month or so - we can argue about NHS, Brexit, etc. in May
Yes, mandatory 6ft or 2 meter distance from people not in your household when you are outside excercising or shopping for essentials.
