I ddin't notice this on the ITV, nor BBC, news (but missed bits of both) UK political parties unite to demand recall of parliament As virus death toll nears 10,000, Labour leader Keir Starmer calls for talks with Speaker The government faces a chorus of cross-party calls on Sunday for the...

The way they say 917 deaths in seconds and spend far longer telling us about Johnson. Yes, they should report Johnson in neutral, factual and brief terms. But 917 deaths (hospital only, of course) where we get pretty much no detail is grossly inadequate.

I am amazed that only about a thousand have been fined so far in England and Wales for lockdown transgressions. Someone not too far away has had five FPNs and now arrested. But in the millions of us, I think that is a staggeringly low number of FPNs.

Am more than happy doing household jobs (did a good external clean of garden shed today, and cooked). But it is incredibly frustrating that we need to order things to be delivered (e.g. timber for garden things to grow food) but it seems to take at least two weeks. I really want to get my feet...

How to make a ventilator - and how not to...

Just what sort of negotiators are they? Good enough for brexit trade deals? Or unable to buy some untested kit with a guarantee? How come Hancock claimed so much when he was buying this crap? Reveal cost of 3.5m unusable Covid-19 tests, health chiefs told Payment was guaranteed for antibody...

They said O is the universal donor. I told them I didn't want them to make a kebab out of me.

Looks to me like Starmer & Co are doing a lot of preparation. And starting to take action: Lisa Nandy seeks urgent meeting with Foreign Office over Covid-19 repatriations Shadow foreign secretary wants to know why thousands remain stranded a fortnight after £75m rescue mission was announced

And to show it isn't just one country: Austria Cases: 13,798 Deaths: 337 Recovered: 6,604 2.44%

Have we enough crematoria to achieve that? New York doesn't seem to...

The inference I take is that our actual cases are much higher than shown. Netherlands also has a very low number of recovered - 289. And Brazil is also very low - but nobody believes their figures at all.

Unfortunately, we seem to need lots of new hallowed ground...

Updated from Johns Hopkins: Germany Cases: 123,878 Deaths: 2,736 Recovered: 53,913 UK Cases: 79,865 Deaths: 9,891 Recovered: 614 (And that paltry number of recovered already seems to include half of Downing Street leaving precious few recoveries for the rest of the population.) I still...

Journalists should have a compulsory understanding statistics course. (On the assumption that they have the mental capacity ...)

Why not actually every single day? Patel, asked where she had been in recent weeks, said she had been working “virtually every single day” on a range of policy areas related to the pandemic. My mother used to tell me of people saying "Don't you know there's a war on?" to excuse or explain...

Dying of cancer or in a road traffic accident are at least spread out over the next, what?, 30 to 50 years. Surely she can't mean over the same time period? Can she? Otherwise she doesn't half live on some dangerous roads. Dying of covid-19 seems likely to be within the next week to eighteen...

Possibly we should be considering that quite a few Greeks live on islands? Not long ago, Corfu was one of the few remaining "tourist" destinations which were without any cases confirmed. And, IIRC, Mykonos.

O. So am I. And partner.

It didn't emphasise sufficiently that people up and down the country were watching press briefings where PM, CMO, etc., were too close and the journos were packed in. Contempt for everyone's health. Luckily I just ordered all of of those, just waiting to get a Tesco delivery slot... More...

'struth guv, you didn't have the decency to supply a vomit bag with that.
