Corona deaths at lowest for 7 weeks & hospital fatalities now BELOW average

Good news, coming right down

Is that article right? The ONS report 12,288 deaths in England and Wales for week 21. The 5 year average is 9,940.

Think they're just comparing non-covid19 deaths which are down 2.4% below the 5 year average this week but that's not usual. Before we recorded our first covid19 death we'd only had 2 weeks so far this year where the rate was above the average.

Just had an email from my Daughter's school confirming they won't be able to bring non key-worker children back until the 15th June at the earliest.

Grandkid's school are not opening to non key-workers either. They will try and have a special day apparently for the year 6 leavers to say goodbye.

So the Chief Medical Officer vetoed going from Level 4 to Level 3, yet the government went ahead and eased lockdown anyway.

So much for being led by the science. Only when it suits them.

Chris Whitty 'vetoed lowering of coronavirus alert level'

The news came as Downing Street announced it was winding down its programme of daily coronavirus press conferences from daily to five a week, with those on Saturday and Sunday stopped.

“In terms of the weekends, it is just a fact that the numbers who are viewing at weekends do tend to be significantly lower,” Johnson’s spokesman said. The prime minister would lead one press conference a week, he added.

Good old lazy Boris.

Good old lazy Boris.

Can't expect him to work more than one day a week, poor bloke.

Good old lazy Boris.

The man who wants to be called PM but doesn't want to actually do any of the heavy lifting.

Good old lazy Boris.

That’s true leadership. According to some.

tbf, as there's always a lag, not sure the weekend ones have served any benefit other than to get Dom excited anyway.

I hope this is true

In some respects it just plays into the culture war.

If they spent as much time fighting this pandemic as they did massaging figures and managing their own PR we'd all be back at work now

Great news, must be a good chance at least a few will work

Still 1600 infections hopefully won’t go up

Iran having a second wave is quite worrying but ours is coming down well but just not quick enough

I would guess trump isn't hidding in his bunker to escape any rioting, he is down there with bottles of bleach, putting it into vaccine tubes ready to sell to the first buyer!

Mixed in with a little hydroxychloroquine sulphate for good measure.

I've just got images of Trump in his pants like some sort of crystal meth den.

Sadly for Grenners Biden is not accused of attacking any 13 year olds


Trump also wants to shag his daughter

Sadly, the Democrats have paid no attention to the reasons why Clinton lost and are about to repeat the same thing with Biden.

 

[skybluetony176]

Expecting a nation that can’t pick up its own litter up to observe social distancing. Beach crowds 'showed shocking disregard for coast'
What a bunch of ignoramus’ we are.

Biden is far far far more popular than Clinton was.

He is 17 points clear with non affiliated voters.

Who has been in charge up until now then? We know the scientists are being ignored so not them.

When he was being questioned the other day he said something about not being allowed to make announcements but nobody followed up on it.

I can’t believe it’s still not yet crystal clear- Boris has always been just a front man, the guy that can get people on side, the affable oaf that people warm to- look to Cummings and other certain individuals for who really pulls the strings- you can find copious articles & stories about the real decision makers all over the place.

Brazil and India looking ominous

hope we don’t do an Iran

Surely it can't be that simple! Holland and Barrett shares will go through the roof if it is.

Yeah I said the other day it will be the number of tests divided by two at the very most

They do think it helps, apparently it's one of the reasons for the high number of deaths amongst BME people.
