Just heard that the figures for community / care home deaths that are going to be added today will only show deaths where Covid 19 has actually been tested. Anyone know if that’s right?

we'll soon find out, Hancock is supposed to be talking about it in the 5 o'clock briefing I think

Hancock will know, almost certainly

😇

I read that any care home death where covid-19 was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate was the grounds for it to be added to the numbers. But might be incorrect

If the numbers being talked about are to be believed, then we'd accelerate past both France,  Spain and possibly Italy, which would be awful, especially as we're allegedly "behind them" in the curve

I don't know if they only report hospital deaths, or if they're reporting everything  -  I'm sure Peely will probably know

Italy don't. According to newsnight last night.

I find listening to van tam really interesting. He’s a great presenter for me

Official data says they do. So that's that.

Indeed. Much better than the lady. She seems a bit nervy to me.

As per the graph just shown in the briefing, everyone does bar potentially Spain and USA. We're not sure if they do or not.

Also showed a per capita graph which had us doing better than the Belgians and the Spanish, worse than the US and identically to France and Italy.

Wasn't clear whether any of those countries data is based on just confirmed cases, or whether it includes suspected ones also (which ours doesn't).

I’d rather go teetotal than sup in one of that wanker’s pubs again

I was going to do a serious post about testing, government, the NHS and the like but instead I'm going to share a heart warming and optimistic story of how this crisis is making ordinary people do extraordinary things.

I'm not on site currently but this actually happened. One of the managers at work messaged today apologising and saying he wasn't going to be in until after 9.

At about 9:20 he walked in to the director's office and said "Look I know there's a lot of shit going on and all I can do is apologise but it's been that long since the wife has offered me morning sex that I couldn't pass it up".

Almost restores your faith in humanity.

Saw this story about a care home in Lancashire where the staff have isolated along with their residents:

They are stars every one of them.

Agree mick 

peasants hang out 

Wetherspoons tend to be bigger than most pubs so they may be able to satisfy any new social distancing regs*. I fear for the cosy little boozers with no room to swing a cat. Pub trade is already on its arse, we may be left with nothing but soulless Wetherspoons and Greene King's soon. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Although good luck to the staff who have to explain that to some of the customers.

CEO of Fullers was on TV yesterday. He reckoned social distancing would mean running at 20% capacity with normal numbers of staff due to extra cleaning and table service making it unlikely to be worthwhile. 

Queuing to get into the local?

Fuck that.

The craft places are kinda fucked since they're the size of a room to begin with...
