So proportionately a lot less people seem to be dying of coronavirus in scotland, if my rough calculation is right. Is scotland behind on the infection timeline?

Image copyrightGETTY IMAGES
There are currently 1,563 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Scotland, although the actual number of cases is likely to be in the tens of thousands.
This page is updated regularly and shows how the number of confirmed cases has grown in Scotland, as well as a breakdown of where those cases are.
Figures updated at 14:00 on 30 March 2020.
The first coronavirus case in Scotland was detected on 1 March by NHS Tayside and the number of patients testing positive for Covid-19 has risen steadily since then.
However, Scotland's chief medical officer, Dr Catherine Calderwood, has estimated that the actual number of cases could be 50 times higher than the official figure.

Yes. No. Is it the diet?
Are you comparing your rough calculation to Scottish Widow's actuarial Facebook page?

OK. You can get UK stats for Excel by region/country from PHE England.
My extremely rough calculations (could be talking bollocks) is that England and Scotland are about neck and neck if it's a race. Wales is worse. N Ireland is better.

Seems we may not be including everything.
New figures by from the Office for National Statistics suggest the UK's death toll is a quarter higher than has been previously reported.
The figures collated only include the deaths recorded in hospital and not everywhere else.

There is no reason not to expect us to get to the Spain and Italy levels of deaths per day, that makes me go "Oh crap" as well, slightly bricking it tbh. I've never been one to stay in, now I don't like going out.
