I would say something in those circumstances.  I am sure they would appreciate the advice.  Don't judge them just coz dey is yoofs.

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

But will anyone pay any attention?

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.

Sorry, I meant the last week the data was published - the last grey bar In the chart (afaik the guy who makes the chart takes the weekly figure and simply averages it to chart it)

Caught up with someone who works in the old folks home in the village last evening, they confirmed they have lost >10% of residents to C-19.

Now the Health Service Journal are reporting that the government removed a key section from Public Health England’s review of the relative risk of covid-19 to specific groups. One source with knowledge of the review said the section “did not survive contact with Matt Hancock’s office” over the weekend.

UK today announced more coronavirus deaths (359) than the entire EU 27 combined (324). 

That's quite the statistic.

Big cheer for Boris no doubt doing the rounds again on facebook

Hang on, we arent in the EU so it shouldn't be benchmarked. (lights touch paper and fucks off)

wtf is going on with mass protests during a pandemic. utterly utterly crazy. think about how many travelled by car, train, tube. the cause is right but the action is ridiculous. we will truly see in a few weeks time whether this has died away and reduced or whether everything is going to explode again. the same people will be out clapping NHS I'm sure

Haven’t posted here for a while, but I’m in a quandary and would appreciate some Independent advice.

I know it’s been difficult for most, but I’m struggling big time. Here’s my problem...

I’m 40. My wife died end of 2018, having been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer three days before our only son was born. He was two, now coming up four. The grandparents have been great, but obvs stopped seeing them early/mid March. They are an hour away.

I’m still working, but for 40pc less than three months ago. Have to work to pay bills etc. Just about managing to get the working day/week done, but with a three year old in the background who is totally addicted to an iPad. Nursery have said they are only taking key worker kids back as it’s part of a school and they need the space (I get that).

Short term this was just about doable. Medium term I have serious concerns about both our mental healths. Long term I have no idea what to do.

The point is, I can’t legally let him stay with grandparents, but 85 days in and I’m about to break.  I also need a break, but I’m pretty worried about giving him to 69/70yr olds, especially my late wife’s parents (however willing they are). Killing them wouldn’t go down well. Less explaining to do with my mum.

Call me a cunt by all means, but what would you do?

Sorry for your loss Jan, is there another nursery you could ask?

Firstly, jesus I hope you and the boy are ok.

If you, the boy and they have been isolating for this time, can't you just shuttle him between you and them as a single bubble, if none of you are showing symptoms (and haven't) as long as you stay in the car when moving won't it be ok as none of you have been out for the incubation period?
