Someone will be getting ready to release his virus ridden bats anytime soon.

Brilliant. Is that the first time we have had a zero day in the UK? I know we got close last summer.

Zero in England, think it was 4 in UK (All in Wales I believe).

We had one zero day last July in England. Other nations have had zero days in the past, but not many. Today it's only Wales out of the UK reporting any deaths. England, Scotland and NI are on zero.

Largely due to it being a novel virus so everybody was susceptible to it initially.

It will likely start showing a seasonal pattern.

Think international travel will stop it having a distinct season.

Watching the briefing.

Soz about the Bristol Variant.

Still, made the Covid group stages, with Kent, Brazil, India, and South Africa.

I think it is the most stupid thing to do at this particular moment...both for Japan and the competing nations.....

It would appear that once more money is more important than health.

So does this mean that the soapy massage parlors will be able to reopen?

It would appear that once more money is more important than health.

Economic expansion is correlated with increasing death, AFAIK, on aggregate.

Complex question though - at the individual level economic stagnation (e.g. losing your job, restricted opportunities) is strongly correlated with negative outcomes including life expectancy. Economic growth leads to more things happening, though, so more workplace accidents, contagious illness, death on the roads etc and I think stuff like that dominates as far as the Great Divider is concerned.

Zero in England. Think there were a couple across the UK. Remember it's a weekend though so community and care home deaths not included.

Still great weekly rolling figures though, down a third on last Mondays rolling figure.

He’s currently praying at his shrine, for a new vaccine dodging variant.

I will wake him up.

Up to 10,000 fans will be permitted at outdoor sports venues in England from 17 May, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed.

That includes the final two rounds of Premier League matches this season, with stadiums set to open to home fans only at reduced capacity.
The final two rounds of matches will be played on 18-19 May and 23 May.

"We'll unlock the turnstiles of our sports stadia subject to capacity limits," Johnson said on Monday.

All teams have a home game in either the penultimate or final round of matches.




What a LEADER.

What's the point in limiting it to 6 people inside when social distancing will be a personal choice? lol
