Like most things old people share on social media: it’s not true. And your sources for this are what? You can maybe come back in here when you've had to move say dozen dead bodies and dealt with their greaving relatives. Please remember that this thread is for facts.

I’m too vain for that though Mrs Shadow got the clippers out on Saturday, I now have a grade two all over, which is not a massive difference from my normal cut. I offered to have a go on hers, she politely declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not happening. I'll be sure and tell Mrs Ginger, whose father died in a care home three weeks ago, that she has clearly forgotten a doctor sneaking in and putting covid-19 on the death certificate. (No doctor did do this by the way because it's not happening. He died from being very ill.) Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Robin Evans Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I'm in a right dog of a mood that just won't lift. Should have been setting off for France tomorrow and I just can't step away from that and my own selfish feelings of missing out are lingering .... lousy rotten mood. Feeling like this when so many have died is making me feel worse.... Ar se!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Is it easy to do Shadow? Can it be done alone? I was thinking of having a grade 2 all over also. Though I have no clippers and they are difficult to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I have no clippers and they are difficult to get. Plenty of clippers about a week or 2 ago when I was looking - Argos & Ebay.

The ONS covid death figures are as robust as for any other cause of death in this country. And I wasn’t replying to you but to the post you were quoted in linking to a letter saying the figures were a nonsense because doctors are too keen to assign to covid.

Les Tonks Sidestep Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I guess God must be French (from BBC)……... France's highest administrative court has ruled the government must lift a blanket ban on meetings at places of worship imposed as part of measures to combat the coronavirus, AFP reports. The latest rules ban all gatherings in places of worship except funerals which are limited to 20 people. The Council of State has ruled such a ban on freedom of worship caused "a damage that is serious and manifestly illegal" and is "disproportionate in nature." It told the government to lift the ban within the next eight days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think being conservative like you is sensible for my first time. It seems to have been a confusing day about the virus. The lockdown definitely seems a lot looser some places. However at work the assessment of the latest advice was that nothing has really changed. In view of this we are still being very cautious which I think is still the best way to proceed.

Wholly Trinity Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I know some people like to look at mortality rate per capita to compare countries, but I would say it has limited value. It shows perhaps the relative stress on the health services, but as even within countries the outbreaks are often regionalised the comparison is not even. If you were to put on my capitalist hat, you could posit that most of the victims were not economically active, so the impact on the economy would be limited. Anyway, graph of the day: *countries smaller than Luxembourg were excluded. Data up to 18/5/20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Could do with a day off. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckn Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 A copy from a teacher friend’s Facebook page: Imagine you have 30 kids in a room. One of them lightly dipped their hands in glitter before entering the room. How many kids will not have glitter all over them at the end of the day?

Wholly Trinity Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Looking at Brazil again and comparing with the UK. Brazil currently has 16,941 deaths (with 740 yesterday). The UK was at the same stage in mid-April when we had just passed the peak (20th April, 16,509 total deaths, 449 that day) Brazil does not appear to be at or near its peak. It seems inevitable that Brazil will have significantly more fatalities than the UK. *the red line is when the UK adjusted figures to include those outside hospital (5,033 on 30th April) P.S. Don't know why I swapped the colours over. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
