Strikes me as possible that some areas are easier to consider thorough contact tracing than others. The combination of cases so far and both absolute number and distribution of population makes round here look a sensible possibility. And Isle of Wight.

While I fully agree that having teams going round care homes is an obvious and highly apporpriate thing to arrange, I sadly suspect it will be too late for all too many.

What good ears you have! It is as much as I can do to hear something.

Captain Pugwash suffered years of word play - all inaccurate. I guess in this foul climate, we should be seeing "What does Dill do?", "Roger the Gardener", and "Cherry Picking".

Just wondering how come anyone in the USA suffered covid-19? They are told that disinfectant kills coroanvirus so maybe get some inside you. (All too many do take this advice.) And they eat chlorinated chicken. Looks like fried chiken eaters over there should be just fine.

And the first six were mistakes. Who went back when told to.

Two words should be deleted from this headline. UK betting firms to stop advertising on TV and radio during lockdown MP says block on all advertising should have been in place from day one to protect addicts There should be NO advertising of gambling on TV and radio.

Wales could lift coronavirus lockdown before rest of UK, says first minister Devolved UK nations may begin to chart different path out of Covid-19 crisis https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/27/wales-ready-to-lift-coronavirus-lockdown

Can't stand him, but Ofcom were right on this issue.

I am currently using Jason Deodorant. And have used a couple of other makes which were very similar. Yes, I too became more sensitive to shower gels, handwashes, soaps, shampoos, etc. I suspect Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and Methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT) - quite possibly among many other...

But can a fart transmit coronavirus? a) No; b) In principle but, because it is confined by (usually) under- and outer-wear, no; c) Yes. Obviously, clothing is more or less equivalent to a home-made mask. So if c) could be demonstrated, it would further justify widespread wearing of masks.

I am so glad a question from a member of the public was "asked": Hancock reads out the first question from a member of the public. It is from Lynne, in Skipton. She has not recorded a message, so Hancock reads it out. She says she is missing her grandchildren. Will being able to hug...

Worth a read - not novel but very largely spot on. Boris Johnson's message to Britain on the lockdown is 'trust us'. Why should we? This government’s competence has been questionable throughout the coronavirus crisis. We need real transparency...

Which is why I use a stick deodorant.

Speaking of which: UK coronavirus live news: Gove says crisis could focus minds and boost chances of UK-EU trade deal You could concentrate Gove's mind a hundred-fold and still find the gnat coming out on top.

But the rate of cases in Wales is higher than in England! The death rate in Wales is considerably lower. Bad statistics? Or genuine?

Have not posted figures for a few days. Not happy at the changes in the figures for Wales. But death rate looks somewhat better than England. Sunday 26/04/2020 Country 2018 population Total cases Deaths Deaths / cases % Cases / pop % Death/pop % England 55,977,178 110,203...

Sceptic that I am, I checked and found this is genuine. I believed OG had posted in good faith, he would not do otherwise, but wanted to double-check such a significant development...

Yeats wrote The Second Coming after WW1. What happened after that? Why WW2.
