I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, got my face mask and hand sanitizer at the ready.

They’ll have all the gear inside mate, but I took my mask just in case - wasn’t needed as I was provided with one.

Unfortunately I got thrown out part way through my haircut when I started screaming MURDERERS at them.

So I’ve now got a hair cut like a lad from Wigan that works on the Waltzers and I’m banned from every barbers within a ten mile radius.

7 day rolling averages have decreased significantly in the past 2 months, after today’s figures they stand at 86.71 (all settings) and 33.43 (hospitals) respectively. On May 9th they were 494.43 and 376.85 respectively, June 9th they were 218.29 and 124.71 respectively

I'll say it very slow for you if you like. 750 deaths out of 66 million people is sod all.

A disgraceful remark.

US Open is on

July 2nd - 89
July 3rd - 136
July 4th - 67
July 5th - 22
July 6th - 16
July 7th - 155
July 8th - 126

That doesn’t add up to 750.

5 months ? The outbreak deaths in this country began in March.

Lets be generous and count every day in March, that’s about 130 days to today, round up to 19 weeks.

3473 deaths per week is slightly more than 600.

It doesn't add up to 510 either, does it?

US Open is on

I'd rather watch a game of tennis than a footy match behind closed doors.

A disgraceful remark.

Possibly. But also true.

People die. Life has an element of danger to it.

But it has to go on.

Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale

Its decision to carry on in the face of the pandemic has yielded a surge of deaths without sparing its economy from damage — a red flag as the United States and Britain move to lift lockdowns.

Saturday 2.15 pm for me. I'm hoping it'll mean I miss the next match

This will make some on here very happy.

Count again: 1st July to 8th July.

As for the 66,000 who died: following your logic 66,000 people dying over 5 months would be a fraction of people dying of other factors, presumably.

Be consistent, sonny Jim.

I know the Beatles were popular but last I heard they hadn't changed the number of days in a week to 8

R rate increasing in Ireland, back above 1.0

N.I. due to open up foreign travel tomorrow, a large number of which will be via Dublin, a bit of a worry tbh.

Don't worry too much about the R rate in Ireland. Not just yet anyway. The incident rate is so low over there that even a tiny outbreak could push the R over 1.

How the furlough scheme has worked in Denmark

Covid-19 Furloughs Are Getting the Job Done

Despite questions as to their cost and fairness, employment subsidies in the EU appear to be working as intended.
