Don't tell me it won't be the same when they open the Welsh one, invoking the spirit of Bevin etc

Not the hospital photo-op; the continuing attempted sabotage of the other nations (and funnelling cash into the private sector while they're at it).

Trudeau wouldn't release the projected numbers. Ford, the premier of Ontario, says he is going to release Ontario's projected numbers and they're "stark". Press conference due to start soon.

Projection of deaths by Public Health Ontario - over the full course of the pandemic (18 months to 2 years) - is up to 15,000, "if we do all that we can."

Didn't know the president of Public Health Ontario is Scottish. Massive pandemic death numbers sound much nicer with a lovely Scottish accent.

No. I was going to keep it as a souvenir to pass on to one of the kids. Still got my millennium bug leaflet and one about analogue TV being switched off. If this letter doesn't arrive my collection is ruined.

My latest news from the frontline of Covid-19 aka working on the shopfloor in a food store. On the day after Boris' big u-turn briefing the store was eerily empty, and since then we've remained very quiet, although becoming slightly busier but still way less than normal. Today seemed to be very different, When I arrived at 1pm the store was very busy, almost like a typical Friday. We have been having to do a bit of queueing in the mornings, but it's usually mostly done with by the time I arrive at 1. Today I had to do queue managing for an hour to keep the number of customers in store to a limit of 30, which I've never had to do before. We've been running with just one checkout open but today we had two and sometimes three going. Over the last few days we've had a good haul of reduced items left over at closing time for staff to pick over but today there wasn't much left.

This could just be a one off, but it felt to me like maybe Joe Public has decided that after a week or so of this lockdown malarky that they feel that's enough and they want to start going out again.

Not in Nottingham. City center deserted but loads of police about. Nottingham police usually spend their time enforcing pronouns but this virus has left them with nothing to do so they seem to be driving their cars down alleyways looking for speakeasys that don't exist.

I've noticed this. Several people have said it too when I've met them out walking our respective dogs.

Until about 30 seconds ago I had convinced myself it was a revival of Shaw Taylor's Police 5 sign-off but have been reminded that that was "keep 'em peeled!". Quite disappointed.

So, shitty meme, it is.

Felt like this to me when I went to the Co-op today - twice as many people about. No bloke on the door letting people in one by one - do as you please.

Tom Robinson has been ending his radio shows with this for years.

It's not *my* fault. It's the TORIES.

I think I've said "stay well" a couple of times. But "stay safe" makes no sense. The opposite of "ill" isn't "safe."

"Stay safe....from all the muslim paedo gangs!!"

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Italy's Daily New Cases graph is now looking good.

Unless they dramatically change testing policy to skew the figures or there's a major infrastructure meltdown for some unforeseen reason, their peak day for this pandemic will most likely be March 21st.

Deaths have dropped to below 700 a day (this was the first day where the UK recorded more deaths than Italy).

It isn't a smooth consistent rise and fall so there will be some bumps, but definitely reaching a plateau and a fall coming. In 3 weeks I think they ought to be getting to a South Korea / China situation where they can tentatively start rebooting some parts of society.
