I guess we will find out in a week or so when the impact of this week's measures

If numbers flatten a little then the NHS may just about cope/not be completely overawed. If numbers continue to rise at the same pace as in Italy and Spain then its going to be pretty horrific unless they get a breakthrough with these drugs that they think may be able to treat it very quickly.
