They analysed triangulated data relating to deaths, new infections and hospital admissions and concluded that the peak of deaths was around 8th April. Crucially, they plotted the death toll as date of death, rather than date of reporting of death. This strengthened their conclusion. They were then able to suggest that peak infection might have been some three weeks before.
All very interesting, and the overall consensus now seems to be a definite flattening of this curve we hear so much about. I think the direction of travel will now surely be a move towards how we release the lockdown measures in 3 weeks time.
