Another day of over 10% increase in deaths -- see what tomorrow brings.

They had 49 in 3 days over the Easter holidays, this is 333 deaths over the last 5 days, they had 468 over the 5 days before that. I hope they are on a downward trajectory and the last two days jump was just the cases missing from the Easter weekend reports.

They should've opened the windows on the first floor, set up a speaker system and put this on full blast.

To be fair though he's looking at it in an (understandably) narrow view, he's looking at efforts to prevent Coronavrius deaths. 

 

There will be behavioural scientists behind the scenes who look at how you go about basically imprisoning an entire population, how you bring people onboard with it, how long is too long before people lose their shit. 

 

Everything we're doing now, from the stuff on the news to the general themes of 'keep calm and carry on', 'we need to stick together' 'it's dangerous out there' 'people who break lockdown are dangerous twats' are probably all part of that effort.

 

You also have to think about the wider health picture. How many people have died through fear of going to hospital, how many people have killed themselves (huge amount I suspect, business owners among them) then there's the economic impact. You see people saying occasionally flippant stuff about placing money above lives, but it's all very well saying let's stay in until we find a vaccine (oddly it seems to be taken as read that we WILL find one), but what will we emerge to? Mad Max?

 

People can say we have to shield the NHS but you have to fund it too.

 

This is one of the many things the media is doing inappropriately and cynically, just posting selfie videos of various people who've got an (often legitimate) gripe with their own specific work circumstances, which people then share and talk about how outrageous it is. But the pressures and challenges of working in A&E, and preventing a civilisation from collapsing, are pretty different.

Government is set to extend the lockdown today for "3 more weeks" according to the Independent.

 

Which somewhat coincidentally means the rules would be relaxed on Friday May 8th, which just happens to be VE Bank Holiday Friday. V for coronavirus victory. PM doing a Churchill impression. Everyone will be allowed social distanced street parties.

 

It's going to happen isn't it.
