Shouldn’t that be Dominic Raab? Abbott’s thing is maths (actually it’s diabetes but still) it’s Raab that didn’t realise Dover was important for continual trade.

Also, I say Johnson is dim and people rally round saying he can’t be because he got a degree in Classics from Oxford after having gone to Eton. I notice these people are a lot quieter about a black woman not from a privileged background who got her History degree from Cambridge.

(I don’t even rate Abbott, just find this stuff off)
I’ve always said that Boris is the Conservatives Diane Abbott. Seems I was absolutely bang on.

Do Labour and Conservative have their own "firms"?

You know what will happen. It will pop back up.

It will no doubt increase a bit but looking at the daily totals (actual day of death) at NHS England they’ve been steadily decreasing for a while (10-14 days now)

Didn’t realise you worked at HMRC Pete, is the Furlough portal holding up ? (I wondered if they’d try to stager companies calling in/signing up ie by company name for example A-H today etc etc to try to minimise burden on the system but great news if it’s handling it)

Statistics » COVID-19 Daily Deaths

They update daily and have now added the chart which is useful. They are still adding deaths from a few days ago each day (which add up to the total which is formally announced each day) but these gradually peter out

Cheers, it's interesting. 150 deaths in a month at Walsgrave pending any changes to the last few days. 150 against 493 confirmed cases in Coventry (although not sure if PHE case data is at patient address or the provider who confirmed it, no suggestion that all the deceased reside in Cov)

125 applications a second is the maximum. Received 65000 in the first 30 minutes. So proud of many of my colleagues

Just seen Brazil have done 60000 tests and 40000 were positive. Think there is going to be bedlam

With Bolsonaro in charge it could be carnage. As far as I know he's still saying it doesn't exist isn't he. Although I'm not one to wish ill on people usually it would be quite fitting if he caught it.

And don't expect their figures to be accurate - reckon a lot of those in the slums will not get counted.

The death data is deaths at that nhs trust. The case data is where the patient lives so there are likely to have been more than the 493 cases present at uhcw as cases fro local but outside Coventry would be sent there as well

Really hoping this turns out to be 'fake news' but it does seem to stand up to scrutiny. 128 twitter profiles of NHS staff found to be fake and traced back to the Department of Health and Social Care.

I wouldn't be surprised. They managed to dupe the public with that Fact Checking account during the election, and I would not put it past them to do it again, even in these times.
