President Trump made an 'incredulous' statement this morning suggesting that ultra-violet light and disinfectant may be a solution!

"So, suppose we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultra-violet light or just very powerful light, and I think you said it hasn't been checked but you're going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too.  Sounds interesting. Right, and then i see the disinfectant. It knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see it gets on the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So that - you're going to have to use medical doctors with - but it sounds interesting to me.  So we'll see, but the whole concept on the light the way it kills it in one minute, that's pretty powerful. I hope people enjoy the sun. And if it has an impact, that's great. I'm just hearing this, not for the fist time. I mean there's been a rumour that, you know, a very nice rumour, that you go outside of the sun or have heat and it does have an effect on other viruses. But now we get it from one of the greatest laboratories of the world, I have to say covers a lot more territory that just this. This is probably an easy thing, relatively speaking for you."

ES - new cases increase by 424 (4,211 10.07%) and have increased each day since low on 20 Mar 1,536, deaths increased by 5 (1.1%).

IT - new cases reduced 732 (-21.67%), deaths increased by 27 (5.8%). Active cases reduced for the 4th consecutive day (by 851) 108,257 19 Apr to 106,848 23 Apr, indicating that may be over the peak. 

FR - I'm not sure what is going on in France as each day their figures are being adjusted, yesterday total cases were 159,877 and today this has been adjusted to 155,194 and today's figure is less than what was reported yesterday 158,183.  Based on adjusted figures new cases reduced by 174 (-7.21%), deaths reduced by 28 (15.4%).

A comment on Worldometers:
"The French Government has corrected its case numbers after a quality and verification process of data from EMS & EHPAD establishments highlighted over-reporting and overestimation of cumulative cases"

DE - new cases increased by 286 (13.3%), deaths increased by 31 (11.9%). Active cases continue to reduce by 1,679 and are now 44,254 - 60.7% of peak of 72,865 6 Apr and the lowest since 27 Mar.

UK - new cases increased by 132 (2.97%), deaths reduced by 125 (-19.6%).
UK still looks like it is 1/2 days ahead on Italy's trajectory with Italy reaching 130,000 7 days, and 140,00 9 days, after 100,000 and UK reaching 130,000 in 6 days and approaching 140,000 in 7 days.

IT - 101,739 (30 Mar) 132,057 (6 Apr) 135,586 (7 Apr) / 139,422 (8 Apr)
UK -103,093 (16 Apr) 133,495 (22 Apr) / 138,078 (23 Apr)
