Agree that there is more traffic and more people around generally, but they are behaving very differently to before this started. The first phase of this marathon seems to have been completed -...
Talking of few facts, I was interested to hear that the report which precipitated our panic move into lockdown wasn't peer reviewed, and in his opinion at least, was severely flawed in its...
I've been puzzled to understand the thinking in Sweden. This explains it:

Neither can I really but the figure is there none the less. I don't know enough about this to know what effect cancelled operations, delayed diagnosis and people generally ignoring other health...
Have a look at this.

Lots of interesting information, including the fact that of the 6,000 'extra' deaths 2,500 couldn't be linked to Covid-19 so...
Yes it's a confusing picture. How many would have died anyway? How many would have died within the next few weeks? How many died with, but not of, the virus? How many of the additional deaths were...
Following on from this, and assuming it to be broadly correct (a big assumption I know) roughly 15,000 people have died over the past 6 weeks with Coronavirus present. 7.5 million people could very...
This ties in fairly neatly with a piece in today's Times suggesting that the proportion of people in Italy with antibody is around 10%.
UK confirmed cases is 114,000. If you multiply that by the...

Hospitals now confident they can cope with UK Coronavirus peak. Some back up provision now unlikely to be needed.
The A&E generally is more understandable...less alcohol fueled violence/accidents...less people turning up with relatively trivial stuff. (No idea why they do anyway, but they do). But heart attacks?...
Visits to A&E down 29%. Visits to A&E with suspected heart attack down from 300 a day to 150.
Good news or bad news? Impossible to say without more information, but interesting nonetheless.
Air pollution reported to be reduced by over 60% in UK cities. Might that have a positive effect on the number of people admitted to hospital for respiratory conditions, unconnected to Covid-19?
...
Anyone think it might cause government to consider whether spending £200 Billion+ to get even more people into an overly-congested capital city quicker, might not be such a good idea after all?
You're lumping a lot of things together there. What's your solution for the dogs...toilet training, nappies, euthanasia? I don't have a dog, by the way, but interested to know how you'd deal with it.
Promising news from across Europe as figures seem to suggest that Spain, Italy, France and Germany have passed the peak of infections and deaths.
I should hope so too. They should be lightly sautéed.
You would, assuming the testing has been carried out on the same basis...i.e completely randomly. I'm not sure we can assume this though. Different countries appear to be testing in completely...
Back to good news. Well maybe not good news, but cause to question whether the news is as bad as we might think...
...
Quite right. Well it's surely positive news that UK deaths of people with Coronavirus have fallen for consecutive days and new hospital admissions have levelled off. By no means certain that the tide...
The appointed police are bad enough (drones over deserted Derbyshire) without the self-appointed ones. Hard to see what harm a bloke fishing is going to do. You COULD make a case for stopping the guy...
Death toll in Italy falls for second day in a row
Thanks for posting. A lot of interesting and scientifically validated information there. If we all took our information from sources like this rather than the sensationalist crap put out by the...
I like this. Here's my contribution:
