Looking at the numbers in a purely mathematical sense that ignores any medical science or common sense:

80% of people getting infected and 95% of people infected then surviving the disease leads us to a 1 in 25 death rate.

In the unlikely event that death is somehow distributed evenly among the people of this nation, you would be looking at 26 or 27 parliamentary by elections being held as a result of this plague.

At least we still have whiskey here. In Iran there's a whole second epidemic based on the belief that alcohol fights the virus by consumption rather than disinfection, twinned with the unavailability of safe liquor.

181 new deaths, it looks like it's about to really kick off

also the government's tweet doesn't include the increase from the previous day's total, which combined with their slightly baffling decision to stop counting deaths on the day they happen, makes it look like they're actually trying to obfuscate things

Who are these 100k people who got tested but didn't have it? Are they all people who had similar symptoms bad enough to warrant testing? Or just the rich and famous?

In Ireland, >95% of testing has been negative. In the longer run that's a sign of a good testing system, but obviously when the system is struggling to get people tested at the start you need to prioritise and focus on the high-risk groups

I still feel like there's a big hole in these figures, which is how many of those positives are people in hospital (and how many are being released from hospital after recovery).

Is there any breakdown of deaths by region? Can only find outdated total cases per region on the PHE website.

I have a question for those who might know: My basic 40 hour pay is £366 (a week) but I work overtime every week, so my usual topline is £600, is there provision that my furlough pay will be a 12 week average or are they not obliged to do that? They don't take average wage to calculate holiday pay, because they don't have to, they just pay the basic.

I am going to spend this 12 week period looking for a better employer tbh, I am resigned to just get 80% of basic, which is really about 57% of my usual pay packet.

Are they really going to take income tax off they pay?

yeah absolutely they're gonna try to lie about death counts.

theres sorta two things colliding to guarantee they do:

1) a culture of not telling the peasants things that will only rile them up. we have the opposite of a transparency doctrine in the UK. its very firmly in the "telling people upsetting things is not in the public interest"
2) whats becoming incredibly apparent is actually the only thing the government "does" is media management. thats why bojo is giving daily pressers instead of spending all day on zoom bashing out laws from a distance.

i was so loving mad at his briefing the day before yesterday where after the lockdown he just came up to talk and not announce any new poo poo. legislation is literally his job, its the only loving use we have for MPs. get back to loving work. stop passing one law then hoping thats it, you're gonna need to be passing laws every loving day and reviewing them the next day.

The other bit that worries me is the: "...of those hospitalised in the UK, 759 have sadly died." Which reads to me that anyone who dies outside of hospital, isn't recorded in the figures at all.

This paper was already pretty garbage even without the possible fraud. I wouldn't trust what it said either way, it's one of those papers that right from the design has no chance of showing anything and is purely publicity seeking.

I doubt anyone outside of a hospital would even have a test done.

I just got an email from the Rayner campaign.

Maybe I'm just an rear end but her signing off as "Angie" sent a cringe through me.

Also there needs to be a "I already voted, please gently caress off" button where they put their "I already voted, please link me to a survey about my vote" button.

They'll convert the ExCeL center to a ship registered in another country so the deaths don't count.
