yeah as death reporting turns to what the certificate mentioned to account for supposed cases vs absolutely confirmed it'll be "x died with covid" or "x died with presumed covid" based off of the medical professional's opinion scotland's switching to reporting deaths from certificates from next week so presumably the rest of the uk will as well. that'll increase the accuracy of figures as well as they can't go "well they were never confirmed so let's not count that one"

I'm just hoping something will crack through that really obnoxious arrogance people get in the developed world that "no mass tragedies can happen here" before climate change eats us alive.

TACD posted:I think this is just weaselly news phrasing because they're reporting these before anybody has done an official cause-of-death thing rather than some big media conspiracy. Yea I wouldn't say it's a conspiracy at all, just very cautious reporting. I guess we're at a stage of the pandemic where it is going to get worse very quickly and once the great British PUBLIC catch wind that they could just die I guess they want to avoid mass panic. It's always frustrating though to see them exercise caution in one instance and chat poo poo in another but that's just the BBC for you I suppose.

Looks good. If you spray a load of water using a misting bottle (like you might use for plants) it makes the crust nice and crispy. E: spray the water at the time you stick the dough in the oven

Went out for the first time in a few days to ASDA. They had arrows on the floor that were supposed to guide you around the isles but one arrow went right instead of left and you end up going round in a rectangle so everyone stopped following them. Also there was a dude we was wearing an eye mask as a face mask, who says British innovation is dead!?

My wife was able to get an Amazon food delivery yesterday after ad-hoc checking the site in the morning. I guess it depends on your locality on how often shops are getting deliveries (we're in Birmingham) but it might be worth looking to see if you can get pasta and other bits to tide you over.

That works really well, otherwise warm up an oven-proof dish in the bottom of the oven when you turn it on. When the bread goes in, chuck in two-ish cups of boiling water, gives the same steam effect. Steam is what really helps get crunchy crust. Baking bread is a great lockdown pastime - I've got my own sourdough starter now too  First loaf (little flat but taste is insane):

Local Tesco express has 2 metre squares marked out on the floor and the security guard told me that you have to wait until the other person has finished in their square before moving. Ok, cool. And then a member of staff brushed straight past me from behind! Then there was some bloke rummaging through the sale items for about five mins before I got fed up and walked past him - about a metre away from him - to get milk. I appreciate that people need to shop, but a 'no loving about' rule needs to be enforced with death by fire punishments. And not just during this crisis either.

Been experimenting with making my own Sourdough too and so far none have been as good as this, what flour / recipe did you use for this one?

Yeah I just got back from the shops, and was even more aware than usual of not dawdling and leaving my (compulsory) trolley blocking things that others might want to get to. In fairness most other people were good too, but there were a few oblivious wanderers.

Yeah, it was impossible to stay 2 metres away in Asda, I just decided to rush round as fast as possible and get out as soon as I could. At one point several people had clogged up a top part of one isle and the Asda worker waiting to stock that part of the isle looked like she was working out who to kill first.

I went to pick up stuff from my local today. Lots of folks stood far away from each other outside, but loving hell they are not tracking who is coming in early on. It was stupid busy inside, and there were no baked beans at all.

Currently in a 75m long queue at the post office, stretching back down the high street. This was after running afoul of changed opening hours yesterday. Gentle goons, your fudge /will/ be sent out today if I have to stay here all afternoon. Also I’ve included a minimum of 20% bonus fudge in every parcel to show my gratitude for your forebearance during this unusual time.

I think this is called A/B testing where they randomly select some users of a site/service/game and force them to have a different version of their product to see how it goes. https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1246042407973662721?s=20 Good to hear you're meant to still isolate if you have any symptoms as I've had a cough for the last week but been going to the shops.

I'm in Switzerland and what they sell here is what I think is bread flour but it doesn't translate very well), and used this recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGO1cLw7P6c I skipped the actual kneading for more shaping to keep the air in, so I got a bit of a UFO shape, still delicious though. Making another one overnight tonight.

Immunology pioneer William Frankland has died aged 108. He was one of the last people who remembered the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 and worked with Fleming on penicillin. Lucid to the end as well.
