Italy has reported another 602 deaths from coronavirus, Reuters news agency says. That brings the total death toll up to 6,078 - but it means that the daily number of deaths has fallen for the second day in a row, down from 651 on Sunday.Crucially, our Rome correspondent Mark Lowen says, the rise in new infections has slowed again, from 9 to 8.1%.
I'm not so sure. I think if several countries start seeing a flatter curve we're in a different reality where we'll need to work out what kind of life continues. China seems to be slowly starting things up again.
Lockdown is inevitable if idiots keep going out to the seaside etc.
Lockdown it is then..

It’s as clear as he ‘dare make’ it.What a sad reflection on our society when we have to be ‘scolded’ by Boris for not doing as we were told via the government who are acting on advice by all the experts monitoring this virus.Thank goodness we weren’t reliant on this selfish, ignorant, irresponsible generation in the early 40’s.
My take?There are selfish people in every generation. There are altruistic people in every generation.Every generation has wise and stupid people; greedy and selfless; brave and cowards.There is an interesting point though. The Baby Boomer generation is the first one in a century that is passing on a poorer standard of living to the youngest in society than it itself enjoyed.A little reflection on that wouldn't go amiss sometimes.
Very few of those alive today would have been old enough to fight in the early '40s. The great majority of those who were alive in the '40s would have been too young to be relied upon to fight.
Thanks BST for this regular info, finding it very useful and actually it instils a little bit of hope.I was critical early on in this whole crisis of some of the things you were saying so felt it right to comment now.
