Decent site for monitoring numbers. The UK figures are shooting up: https://ncov2019.live/data

BoJo has it!

I’m sure it’s 41 down from 87.

Announced now. Half the number from yesterday!! Suspect that may be a blip but could be considered a “good day”.

Cleared

Perhaps but given that many elderly (and dare I say it senile) people vote Tory I’m not sure killing them off early is good for the party.

Amazing announcement to close so many business and offer to pay 80% of wages. Must truly shaft BoJo’s Brexit plans.

It’s all quite something. I think I can understand the current UK “plan” if it is all about trying to minimise the effect this will have on the NHS. But I did find this to be a good read: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca

Nice turnaround.

Warren out. Always looked like the best pick for me but I suspect various agendas and some sexism have got the better of her.

Clearly you do not understand what mortality rate means. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/03/yes-worse-than-flu-busting-coronavirus-myths-covid-19

Ah well. At least Sevco got beat. Slippy G might be on his way out soon!

I don’t know what’s worse: the disgusting amount of money that’s been spent by those trying to win the nomination, or that two guys aged 77 & 78 are seen as the best hope of beating Trump.

Supposedly a case in Aberdeen. Lots of folk keen on reality checks - not as serious as other health issues, etc... it’s all blown out of proportion etc... However surely the point is that as there’s no vaccine it’s only going to put a strain on a countries health service, as each person on average passes it on to 2.5 people, and the mortality rate is higher than influenza. So it does need to be nipped in the bud pretty sharpish. Can see Olympics being pulled.

Along with anyone who voted for Brexit.

Sounds like it’s a historic child abuse story that he’s working on.

Something brewing?

Andrew Weatherall. Gutted.

Caroline Flack. I’ve never watched Love Island in my life but I gather this is going to be a case of the same press who hounded her now leading the tributes.

Plenty rumours on t’internet circulating about the real number of Coronavirus deaths being surpressed, maybe even in the 10s of thousands!! But they look like just rumours - I just can’t see how in this day and age you can suppress things like that.

SNP doing their best to squander the chance that BoJo & Brexit has given them.

Kirk Douglas. A very good innings.
