I can’t get the twitter link on my phone - what’s this idea.?
We don’t need a coalition government as they would never agree on anything in fact I can’t think of much worse, yes we need the brains but we don’t need a coalition government to get that surley
Prince Charles tests positive for COVID-19, he best stay away from Phil the Greek, that will finish him off for sure
Very interesting (if some what sobering) to see these daily graphs BST, please keep posting them.USA appear to be in a right pickle looking at that and I don’t see them being able to get on top of it.A little reassuring to see the UK line, the next few days will give a better understanding to see if we maintain that current curve though.The halfwits that are ignoring the advise (mainly London it appears on the tube and construction sites) could impact the outcome massively

Happy to be of service. A lot of my job revolves around finding patterns in complex, messy data and drawing reasonable conclusions from that. Not very often that spills out into the world outside my work.As for the trends, my take today is:-if we have 50-90 deaths, we are still broadly tracking China and moving progressively more and more below the USA/West Europe trends.- 90-130 deaths is a bit more worrying: we'll be clearly moving above the China trend.130+ and we're heading back to the France/USA/Italy position.Fingers crossed folks. Kind of puts the experience of looking forward to/dreading an upcoming football match into some sort of perspective.
Possible flattening in number of new hospital admissions for patients with COVID-19Over the past few days, the number of new patients admitted to hospital had shown a rising curve. That curve now seems to be flattening out. This may indicate a slight decline in how fast the virus is spreading. This is an initial indication. We cannot draw solid conclusions on this basis. It will become apparent in the next few days whether the curve is in fact flattening out.Based on the figures for the number of hospital admissions, mathematical models are used to calculate how fast the virus is spreading. It would also appear that the virus is now spreading less rapidly. Here, too, it will become apparent in the next few days whether this slowing trend continues.A number of deceased patients were reported again today. However, those reports concerned people who had died sometime within the past few days. Deaths are not always reported immediately. For that reason, a new chart now shows the number of deceased patients according to the day on which they died.Overview of the numbersTotal number of confirmed cases: 6412 (+852)Total number of reported deaths: 356 (+ 80)Total number of confirmed cases who are or were admitted to hospital: 1836 (+341)
QuoteTrump, in common with all populists and demagogues, favours simple solutions to complex problems.Just caught this from Nick Bryant going down the BBC live ticker. I don't think you will find a more succint account of our current era than this.

The figures coming out today are practically non existent, is this the start of something positive, or just a one off? We can only hope....
I will be disappointed in the future with all this going off here. and the criticism of the government amounts of money given to the NHS, wages for self employed, and the employed if we continue to shovel money out in foreign aid.
