Excellent. So England and Wales deaths solely due to Coronavirus is roughly only 10,000?

I sincerely doubt that...

Global coronavirus death toll could be 60% higher than reported Mortality statistics show 111,000 deaths in excess of normal levels across 15 countries analysed by the FT

You sometimes wonder who poses the most risk to you when you are out and about. Is it the folk who just blunder on regardless with little heed to social distancing etc, or the fuckwits who think they are doing all the right things but are doing them badly.

E.g. the clownboot I saw in Tesco this morning wearing a surgical mask, but the fact it was only covering his mouth and not his nose renders it practically useless.

Not much in terms of new information but Boris was looking and speaking well considering he’d been in intensive care.

A bitter moment for Melanius and his fellow extreme Nats who were hoping they’d be watching his funeral. Chin up.

My pal who works in ICU in Paidley says the NHS is coping fine, some hospitals got to capacity a couple of weeks ago but there was capacity elsewhere, now it's not an issue unless a big second wave hits.

The Scottish Government seem to be doing a reasonable job in terms of support for the vulnerable throughout this, although the picture could be different in the front line.

Social distancing remains a joke though, they should put signs on lampposts and start fining people to make an example. Way too many people just not giving a shit about passing very close despite me being as far away as possible in a path/pavement. There's been a significant increase in bams on bikes on pavements as well, infuriating when the roads are practically empty.

Quite a few places mostly in the developing world have put in night time curfews. How have they figured the virus only spreads at night and we haven’t?
