Surprised more haven't gone bust to be honest - particular online.

Probably got deeper pockets, part of a larger group, and/or a good banking relationship.

Are the 'daily number of lab-confirmed cases' as flaky as the daily deaths dataset?

Seems to suggest that the peak of new cases was the 7th of April?

You can put at least a couple of zeros on them. I've died twice now and no one has even so much as a by-your-leave.

I wouldn't mind like, but I died really theatrically. The second time was at the front door of Johnson's lady as I was meeting the wife from work. Nada. I might as well have been homeless. They just weren't bothered.

That's just what she said. We're can't all have the heroic disposition of Johnson I said, some of us actually die of this thing (twice). Maybe they only record deaths after you've struggled manfully in ICU for a bit.

Italy and Spain are showing some hopeful signs of being beyond the peak, the UK might just be in it, but both those countries show there is some light at the end of the tunnel, as awful as the losses are and have been.

I reckon we should put the questions to the daily briefing......

To be fair, if they weren't shut down for a giant plastic shark, what hope would a virus have?
