    There's no need for permission to report anonymous data and the government are likely to over-report deaths, rather than play them down with things as they are at the moment. I think this is probably nonsense.

    Still only 2 cases in Hull, 3 in North East Lincs, 19 in the East Riding and 45 in North Yorkshire (no idea how many of those have come to us).

    What he's saying is nonsense, but as I posted earlier, Public Health England have confirmed the general message that they've changed their recording methodology and to treat figures accordingly.

    Aye, I've just seen this, clear as mud - 'He said Public Health England was moving to a different reporting time. Yesterday was “a crossover day” in the way they were recording the numbers, he said. But he was unable to explain what would change'.

    Six more people have died from #coronavirus in Wales and another three in Scotland, taking the UK-wide tally to 474, England and Northern Ireland to report later.

    there are various testing policies in place in different countries so the number of positive tests is not comparable from one to another. the number of people with it will be many times more than the known figures. one outcome of this is that the death rate has to be lower than that obtained from the known stats. we know it's worse for those with pre-existing conditions, especially if they're elderly. many countries still have significant numbers of known cases unresolved. the true death rate looks likely to be around one in two hundred (give or take perhaps 50) or 0.5%.

    They have been. The 18 year old the other day it’s been reported actually died of other unrelated conditions it was already in hospital for although did test positive for coronavirus. Still counted in the numbers.

    One of my customers called me today, she’s a nurse, she said she’s avoiding watching the news at the moment, she said this is going to get a lot worse, and that this was simply the beginning.

    It really sounds horrendous what the heroic NHS employees are going through.

    The NHS, under Government instructions, have seized his supply of curry sauce mix and are currently performing tests on it's ability to act as a hand sanitizer. Early indications are that only the recipe including sultanas is effective and that less exotic curry sauces should be kept safe for when fish shops re-open.

    Best wishes to you and your wife TOM. I hope all works out well for her and that she makes a speedy recovery. Take care both of you.

    Think it’s a given. The Gov are preping for a serious increase with additional beds and new staffing levels for days. It’s going to be horrific. Just wash your hands and keep 2meters away from anyone else. Stay safe. Stay alive. Previously healthy people are now dying. Nobody can take chances.

    Half the married couples in the Country will be getting divorced after all this has settled down.

    Hope you have a big shed.
