The 332 patients who died in England were aged between six weeks and 103 years old

22 of the 332 patients aged between 40 and 96 years old had no known underlying health conditions

Austria doesn't seem to be making the news at the moment. I suspect that's a good thing. Isn't it almost a month since they started easing the lockdown?

I've had a feeling things seemed far too positive earlier in the week , I get the distinct feeling very little will change Sunday , much to the disappointment of millions.


I tried telling a company zoom meeting yesterday that Boris wont go mad but the expectation from many is a relaxation of note was on the way.


Cant see it .


 


Update on my Uncle , pneumonia in one lung but spoke to my Auntie on the phone for a very short while but that's good.


It was my Uncle who got me interested in the weather , he worked all around the world for the Met Office , finishing at Bracknell .


Fingers crossed


Thanks for all the kind messages

Hope your uncle gets well soon mate. :-)

Agreed. I was thinking last night that infection rate is still high and I suspect many deaths are now in care homes. 


These people are probably not going into hospital and therefore while admissions look good, other setting deaths are not good at all.

Everybody here is expecting the garden centres to open next week. Can you imagine what these places will be like if that turns out to be the case? There will be mayhem despite whatever social distancing measures the centres try to put in place. People will be desperate for veg plants, particularly. I don't see how this can be policed.

Also, I am pissed off today. There is a family in garden. They are having a BBQ with people clearly not from their own home. It’s infuriating for two reasons. I’m stuck on my own and they are making it worse for everyone else.

The problem with enforcement of course is there aren't sufficient resources and deployment of what has been available, doesn't seem to have been properly focused - it's been very hit and miss, whether that's down to the police service or lack of guidance from the Govt, I'm not sure we know.

I spoke to my colleague quite audibly in work yesterday (so customers could hear) He said that people don't seem to care anymore and I replied loudly 'they'll care when they're lying on a hospital bed!'

Now, after queueing can still get the food you always had. Unlike a war, the only visible evidence is you hear about the poor people dying, from a TV or the press or internet.


I think they should do ads that are quite disturbing like for rabies or HIV etc. They rammed it home. All we hear is protect lives, protect the NHS etc, but they need a new message now, one that hits home!

Not forgetting that the majority of those will be historical.  The actual figures for deaths occurring yesterday could take weeks to get reported.

They should double down then maybe lockdown can be made the new normal for a decade or so.

It will take a decade to repair the damage already done as it is.
Far more will die early from the effect of deliberately destroying large swathes of the economy than could ever have died from CV-19

We're locked down and want to get into the fresh air by the door, and you can't see owt for smother. Do we have to have qualifications is stupidity these days? I keep wondering!

Indeed, Marcus, many sympathies to you and your family...must be an extremely anxious time....I’m aware of several folk in the public eye who have been fighting within an inch of their lives against this dreadful virus...and no doubt,many many more...e.g the great Michael Rosen...I believe he has been in ICU for weeks now....My brother in the States had the virus very badly. Hs is now on day 52 of the virus....he at long last has made some improvements but still a very, very long and bumpy road to anything like a partial recovery....It was only 48 days until he managed 20 paces outside his house into their yard....
