Savage Henry Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 393 deaths in the UK in 24 hours. Nothing to worry about lads...Today is the first set of results which includes those who died at home or hospices. So the increase is that group up until last week, plus any since yesterday. Assuming there were a substantial number of those, the number seems low. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 40 added I think, I thought they were carrying those from week ending 20th. That would imply that 21% of deaths were happening untested away from hospitals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. R. Giger hated Resurrection. btw did you know Blade Runner was in the same universe? Is the right answer. Resurrection gets better if you take it as being a Jeunet film rather than an Alien film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I’ve been using this time in self-isolation to try to make my way through the considerable backlog of books I have to read. Making good progress, but picking up The Plague by Albert Camus was possibly a silly choice. “It is noteworthy that our townspeople very quickly desisted, even in public, from a habit one might have expetced them to form; that of trying to figure out the probable duration of their exile. The reason was this. When the most pessimistic had fixed it at, say, six months; when they had drunk in advance the dregs of bitterness of those six black months, and painfully screwed up their courage to the sticking-place, straining all their remaining energy to endure valiantly the long ordeal of all those weeks and days - when they had done this, some friend they met, an article in a newspaper, a vague suspicion, or a flash of foresight would suggest that after all, there was no reason why the epidemic shouldn't last more than six months; why not a year, or even more? At such moments the collapse of their courage, will-power and endurance was so abrupt that they felt they could never drag themselves out of the pit of despond into which they had fallen. Therefore they forced themselves never to think about the problematic day of escape, to cease looking to the future, and always to keep, so to speak, their eyes fixed on the ground at their feet. But, naturally enough, this prudence, this habit of feinting with their predicament and refusing to put up a fight were ill-rewarded. For, while averting that revulsion which they found so unbearable, they also deprived themselves of those redeeming moments, frequent enough when all is told, when by conjuring up pictures of a reunion to be, they could forget about the plague. Thus, in a middle course between these heights and depths, they drifted through life rather than lived, the prey of aimless days and sterile memories, like wandering shadows that could have acquired substances only by consenting to root themselves in the solid earth of their distress.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Today is the first set of results which includes those who died at home or hospices. So the increase is that group up until last week, plus any since yesterday. Assuming there were a substantial number of those, the number seems low. According to DHSC, 381 new deaths in 24 hours to 5pm yesterday, same basis for measurement as before. Only deaths of those hospitalised are counted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post peasy23 Posted March 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2020 Sky News with a proper shark jumping moment, interviewing Terry Waite for advice on how to survive in isolation. 4 and a half years blindfolded and chained to a radiator being so very similar to being asked to stay at home and watch TV for a couple of months. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stubbs Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'm in full support of P&B turning into an early internet style single thread free for all.

Jeremiah Cole Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Number of deaths today leave us at 65% of where Italy were 2 weeks ago. we’ve been at this ratio for over a week now we will probably be announcing over 600 deaths by the weekend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holiday Song Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I remember Captain Sensible being a total WUM but doesn't seem like his posting style (granted, this was about fifteen years ago!). If Jeremiah Cole was going to be any of the ex St Mirren posters I would have bet on Reynard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
