Dave's just an errand boy sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill.

Putting football before all of this.
Your a disgrace, nice to see your true colours coming through

I was having a go at you. Of course, you are so unaware that you didn't even realise. I wonder why?

Has the Daily Mirror just used it's time and the time of busy people to promote itself and their "campaign" to reward NHS workers with a medal?? Have they ever heard of concepts like news and reporting?

Or is self-aggrandising virtue signalling more important than I realised?

Yes they did, pathetic paper with pathetic journalists.

Still horrendous numbers affected but at least the lockdown seems to be working although their might bea “weekend” effect for the numbers.

The slides they were showing only showed data from England.

Sky News is saying 159 in England and 180 in the UK.

That's great news again from Italy. Of course, the media go with the increase in deaths on the previous two days. That's terrible news, but that trend is more significant.

I love how paying your employees is now something charitable - possibly, if you can be arsed.

Worth a read.

Not saying I agree with it all because given where we are in the spread of the virus we had little choice but to do what we have done now, but there's some good points raised.

This is particularly interesting I thought, especially in relation to how the deaths are being counted:

There is also the point mentioned by Professor Bhakdi that deaths are being attributed to coronavirus that should better be attributed to the pre-existing medical conditions that 99 per cent of victims in Italy have. They are deaths with Covid-19 rather than necessarily from Covid-19, in other words – a point stressed by the President of the Italian Civil Protection Service. In fact, according to Professor Walter Ricciardi, scientific adviser to the Italian health minister, ‘only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus.’ Then there is the poor air quality in northern Italy and Wuhan that the professor mentions, with northern Italy having the worst smog in Europe.

I think it works more when thinking forward. There 100% will be a second wave of this but - and we'll obviously have to do the legwork in terms of lockdown over the next month or two to try and ensure this - the world cannot stop again when it does come. Life will have to carry on. It's far more than just being 'complicated' for people. Many are losing jobs and livelihoods with little hope of getting them back any time soon apart from relying on a handout from the government.

Prayers for John Prine, currently in critical condition fighting the virus.
A special live performer, and an even better writer. This is one of his best in my favorite version.
