Numbers are way down here. Schools are partially open, you can get a haircut, and pubs and restaurants opened on Monday. 

 

Official numbers (in Dutch)

Thank you. Wow hairdressers open, we’re nowhere near that here.

I thought the Dutch would do better than us, they are at most things!

Thing is, you can get boss aged cheese here. Don't judge it on the rubbery Edam that the UK buys. Likewise, if you were to judge UK cheese from what you can find in a Dutch supermarket you would think it was just very mild chedder.

Netherlands had roughly the same per capita deaths as Ireland.

Which makes me think of New Zealand, do you think they would have been the same if, for example, Australia didn't have more or less same numbers (considering it has more big urban areas)? NZ locked down at similar time as the UK if I remember correctly, but with much lower numbers and much better situation in the neighbourhood.

Japan is roughly twice the land mass with twice the population.

 

Not had one thousand deaths yet.

 

Gerrymandering of figures re the Olympics accepted, but even still.

 

Widespread use of face masks in all situs throughout.

If only @TK421 was alive to see this!

Did he actually flounce again?

[Mudface]

No new deaths in Scotland for the second day running. There'll be the weekend lag, but some rare good news for once.

no need to call Mook that.

Dunno how people chose flounce over just putting people they hate on ignore. Chucking the baby out with the bathwater.

Is flounce like a furlough scheme for TLW?

To be fair TK was way ahead of the curve and will likely have the last laugh on masks. I suggest we all wear a stormtrooper helmet and shout “I’m Spartacus” when the time comes.

Someone needs to sign up now as tk421 so when he comes back he has to be tk422

Then, right, someone needs to break in to his house and move all his ornaments 2 inches to the right

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Rico would love an excuse to move a bunch of stuff to the right

Positive figures from NI, Wales and Scotland today. Just 85 infections and 4 deaths reported on www.coronavstats.co.uk

 

[Sugar Ape]

I think shows that there can be a relatively considerable time lag between lifting lockdown and cases spiking. If the same happens here we will be looking about July 1st-8th roughly before seeing a big jump?

The Governor here in Florida is clueless - dumb luck for the first wave, never had a plan, still doesn't.

 

[Mudface]

It's moronic, they've got the worst of both worlds, lockdown was too late, and easing far too early.

[Spy Bee]

Only 55 deaths nationwide today and the infection rate is the lowest for ages. That's a huge drop onlike for like days. I think it was 294 last Monday.

It was 111, but there's always a big jump on Tue/ Wed, last week there were well over 300 deaths on both those days. Encouraging though, just wish the infection figures would come down more quickly. 1200- 1500 per day is still pretty high.

Don't worry - I'm leaving now.  Yes, this a live flounce.  I can not co-exist with Rico1304.

 

Bye everyone.

The jump is normally Mon/Tue, but there have been bank holidays which have skewed it. I got the figures miles wrong, but percentage wise this is a massive drop still. It's worth noting that as figures come down, the number of backdates deaths which get added on will decrease too.
