The fact that furlough has been extended in full suggests the very real threat of going back into lockdown.


Perhaps this was Richie Rich acting alone, but a very welcome move. He is smooth and impressive, and I don't say that about many Tories

I've mapped out two metre gaps in class. 15 children will fit in a 10m x 6m class with suitable gaps. They won't be able to move though, and there's no room for additional furniture or a member of staff. That's club class. In economy, you could fit 24, but all but 8 of these would actually have to merge with the brickwork of the walls.

Hope you get the positive result you’re hoping for!

Johnson's net approval rating dropped 17 points on 11th May compared to 10th May. Remains to be seen what effect the press conference last night had, along with the furloughing news today and whether there is a bounce back. Not sure how many people are asked each day but the numbers don't normally fluctuate that much so must be fairly respresentative.

It's arrived - as the sample has to be sent off before noon, I'll be doing this tomorrow morning. Nothing very exciting to see, really, except they need a 5ml sample of blood to conduct antibody testing!

Have you say I am impressed with the governments extension of the furlough scheme. This aspect has been managed well.

This will give clarity to employers and reassurance to millions of workers.

The caveat is employers will be expected to contribute from August onwards.


Will this be means tested and will the HMRC look at cash flow, etc? 


The devil is in the detail, but overall I am very pleased and reassured.

https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0511/1137763-what-can-we-learn-from-swedens-covid-19-icu-figures/


Interesting article comparing infection rates in Sweden and Ireland. In particular, it compares ICU admissions in the two countries. You would think that this ought to be a good way of comparing countries. Obviously, there are significant differences in the way different states record deaths and apparent infection rates will differ based on the amount of testing done. However, international admission rates to ICU ought to be reasonably comparable. The article suggests that Sweden's infection rate is 3 times worse than Ireland's. By way of comparison to the UK, our figures are better than yours but not significantly. So all in all, the above suggests that Sweden may be the woest affected country in Eurpe. Which wouldn't be a huge surprise, of course.

It's such a contrast to the tales of generosity & courage we're hearing. Same species!

Total deaths at care homes have now exceeded hospital deaths over the past 7 weeks. Also the FT estimates of deaths have underestimated the true mortality as reported by the ONS (their latest estimate was 56,800 deaths until yesterday).

We don't even know the attacker actually had CV or if there was more context not disclosed.
I really wonder why any newspaper reports in this way, are they trying to increase tension or what.
It's actually rather sinister what they will do for clicks.
