My daughter's school is shut for 2 complete years at a time.  It does not matter as my youngest got a cold last week, which means both aren't in anyway.   My wife has had to isolate as she is on the at risk.     This means I have to try and keep her apart from coughing child. My daughter who has nothing wrong right now is ready to kill her sister ("its the rules, not your sister").   

Inevitable that the schools closd completely just as my sick daughter is ready to return.

I don't even go to the pub much, but would happily spend a week there right now.

All the best with this, it’s going to be a difficult year. I hope it goes well for you + family.

They are backing themselves in to a corner by not announcing the number of fatalities. It’s 30 hours since the period that they released data for. If the plan is to avoid panic, then storing up a big number will surely be counterproductive in the end.

They've released those numbers every day so far - why do you think it's not just delayed?

From what you have said, you probably have at least as much to worry about.  we'll be fine.

I can still hide in a corner of the house and am still going to tesco every few days to stare at the empty shelves.   I know we aren't supposed to but I was following an old cougher and a sniffler in the queue last visit.  

Good luck to you.

They already announced they weren"t going to update a few days ago and then backed down.   I assume he is talking yesterday's numbers that didn't appear at all.   Surely they can just produce an eatimate if there is an issue, or just say there was an issue, normal service will resume soon.

So yesterday evening they only released the numbers up to 09:00 of that day. That was a departure from the previous day, when they released them in real time in the evening. If they move to only announcing 09:00 to 09:00 from now on, then that seems sensible but storing up long periods like this could be troublesome going forward. Let’s see what they do, it’s a horrible situation and I have lots of sympathy for the people making the call.

I am talking only about the fatalities on this.

Wasn't their 16 yesterday?

And I always interpreted the announcement they backed down on as that they were only going to give weekly numbers for everything rather than daily (not that they weren't going to give them at all). But as they u-turned it's hard to be sure which interpretation is right.

There were 16, up to 09:00 yesterday morning, they haven’t released data on fatalities for the period since. They surely knew they wouldn’t get away with being the only country not to update daily. As I say, if they move to 09:00 to 09:00 reporting then that seems sensible enough.

Imagine if we tracked every death from a specific thing minute in minute out.

Should have a counter for cancer deaths on the front of every paper every day

Think this is a pretty crap post, Glenn. I'd like to say you make loads, but unfortunately can't Cheesy

You not think it's quite important to track something that is spreading rapidly, which we're trying to contain, and don't have any kind of treatment for at present?

Of course they are tracking it, whether it’s it’s communicated at 9am or 5pm makes no difference to the public,  it’s just the same people that look to pick at the Tories are doing at every opportunity, you must be used to it by now....I am.
