Interesting new measurement of isolation. I think I am managing 4 metre weeks of isolation. (2 metres for two weeks.) Whereas you are implying a minimum acceptable Gove isolation would be 100 metre years!

We have seen quite a bit of discussion about people who, for various reasons, have delayed, deferred, or simply not reached, required support in time. This "he's not on ventilation" could end up being such an issue. Everyone having shouted that from the rooftops, it might be somewhat awkward to...

Without leave? I think I'd offer them all indefinite furlough...

Says he will be continuing to work. So just why was he not already working from home? Either he will do some work but cannot do everything (in which case we should be told he is limited in what he is doing) or he should never have been going from home to work.

Possibly "coalition" isn't the best name for it - however accurate. "National"?

Obviously got to take suitable doses of salt with the data, but they have put some effort in here. It had been frustrating how limited Wales information. Now there is a lot more and the ability to select on various criteria is very helpful. I think most of us wish to know what is happening near...

There has been news in that odd non-news way that happens when people are waiting for a big story to break. Not much more than murmurs. But you can be sure many obit writers have checked their copy is up to date - ready to file, if needed. (I am trying very hard not to prejudge the outcome.)

That is, surely, the reality for many. But, having spent four years repeatedly checking in my mind if I am going where the petrol is cheaper (usually about 5p a litre difference), I still think about it. And I am getting to the point of wanting to top up.

The BBC reports: The cost of petrol in the UK is approaching £1 a litre for the first time since 2016. Some filling stations around the country have even been reported offering petrol at less than £1. But motorists may be hard-pressed to find low deals as prices vary widely. Even I have seen...

Masks. Husvarna-Viking are donating hundreds of sewing machines directly to hospitals across the USA. This is because the Center for Disease Control has accepted, as a last resort, even home-made masks might provide some protection or enhance the life of existing approved masks. (Partner's...

No surprise here, episode 852344: Coronavirus: Thousands missed off government's 'high risk' list From what I know, there are many rare diseases that no-one will have thought to add to the list. Indeed, likely no-one knows if some of them imply a heightened risk or not for some of them.

I cannot wish for any death from this. We might wish he were not PM (or some of us might), but that would not be the end of his reign that I would want.

Wales NHS has done something that, with five seconds of looking, appears possibly good. https://public.tableau.com/profile/public.health.wales.health.protection#!/vizhome/RapidCOVID-19virology-Public/Headlinesummary

And are they still insisting he is in charge? (I don't see "deputise where necessary" as sufficient.)

That was published on 28/03/2020. So we are way beyond the "coming week". Have we seen reliable supply chains providing sufficient PPE? In their defence, insiders say that while the Cygnus findings have not been published they were acted on in part at least. Projected shortages of PPE and ICU...

Sorry to read that, flecc, on so many levels. For you and so many others.

I saw a statement earlier about getting over CV as fast as we want. I couldn't believe the stupidity of someone saying that - we WANT to get over it in picoseconds, if not sooner, don't we?

Synchronicity? Coincidental timing? Regardless, the issue is important. We have already seen several stories where people have left it too late. Not clear that the wouldn't have died anyway, but there might have been a chance in some cases. Fears that Britons self-isolating with Covid-19 may...

Hmm, anagram time? Novos Arcuri

I can't help but wonder at the mentalilty which tweeted as below. A PM of a country in the current disastrous situation and we are supposed to care about his spirits while goodness knows how many more die and are bereaved. Also that he is keeping in touch with his team but not, so we are left to...
