Nice to see last night that Matt Hancock just slipped 445 new deaths into the record without mentioning it in the briefing, it merely being hidden away in the small print.
According to Public Health England "nearly all" of the deaths, which date back to 26 April, were care home residents.
OK so they'd incorrectly distort the rolling 7 day average if they hadn't, but he should have explained it. |

Ah well no wonder Hancock didn't bother mentioning them, we all know care home residents' lives don't matter |

^^ my cynical view is that they simply want schools to be babysitters while they kick start the economy ASAP.

 The govt have apparently changed the definition of "dead". Some of the dead are now counted as "just resting" or "pining for the fjords". |

"Just resting their eyes until Coronavirus blows over, at which point they are classed as deceased (non-COVID 19 related"
(just so that the statistics don't look worse)

tbf, the change is actually that they've included (and backdated) "pillar 2" deaths so it actually makes the stats look a little worse. This is where the 445 "don't mention ze deaths" extra deaths came from. |

Total covid deaths as at the last week of May are about the same as when lockdown started
Unless I’m mid-reading it also, excess deaths in the last week also pretty much correlate with the reported COVID deaths, meaning no ‘hidden’ deaths

I think you must be. The excess deaths figures are always published 10 days or so in arrears, so the most recent figures are for the week up to May 22nd, we won't have the figures for the last week until June 9th. |

In Sevenfields earlier there were about 18 yoofs hanging around. Causing a nuisance, being loud hugging, listening to music - typical yoof stuff.
This is the dilemma:
a) Leave them to it.
b) Confront them
c) Call 101
I was disgusted at the site, and normally it wouldn't bother me. I left them to it. Confronting them would rile the situation, 101 would be useless.
Then my anxiety kicked in. What if they kids take the virus home. I feel guilty for not doing anything about it.
What would you do?

I'd run to the nearest keyboard & spout some bile to people I don't even know.
