953 deaths announced for last 24 hours
Yes & no. 953 newly reported deaths, only a small proportion of which happened in the last 24 hrs. This was yesterday... This is odd. From the BBC.
England Reports 765 New Coronavirus Deaths NHS England has recorded 765 new deaths in hospital from coronavirus.
It said that 140 of them occurred yesterday, while 568 took place between 1 April and 7 April.
The remaining 57 deaths took place in March, including two on 19 March and one on 16 March.

Possibly manipulating the stats to keep the daily figure below 1000 ?

Do you remember when the papers were running stories about "shocking" death rates of over 500 a day in Italy? Just passing mentions now we're nearing 1000 a day, on course to outstrip both Spain and Italy. But Boris is "in good spirits". So that's OK. Carry on as you were and pass the body bags

Don't think that Trump is going to be able to avoid scrutiny for his response this time.

He has a very large core of supporters that will defend and/or deflect ANYTHING. He's currently blaming it on the WHO and his supporters are lapping it up. He tells out and out lies and his suporters don't question him. You can get away with anything when you get to just blame it on other people.

Love the fact people are moaning about showing support to key workers for 5 minutes a week 😀
Thank god you don’t live in spain! We do it every night at 8
I mentioned it further back, it must be a mostly British thing to find negatives in something quite simply as positive a gesture, as saying good morning to someone.

They won't even know about it. They all watch Fox News, no mention of his previous failures and his obvious lies on there, just what a great job he's doing of it sorting out a problem that doesn't exist was invented by the Democrats was caused by the Chinese/WHO. That's the great thing about being an incompetent politician in a highly divided society, no need to worry about being held to account. cf The Sun's front page today "Now that's what we call a Good Friday". At the end of a week when over 5,000 have died.

https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/1727839/?utm_source=showcase&utm_campaign=visualisation/1727839Covid-19 now tops the charts for the number one cause of death in the USA on current daily numbers. It is now killing more than 10 times the number of Flu & Pneumonia combined. Just in-case anyone was still OK with this being compared with those viruses. It's also over 4 times more deadly than all accidents combined- driving cars being dangerous is another one people have oft trotted out when being annoyed at restrictions.

I wonder what the "it's just the flu" crowd are thinking now.
I don't mean that in a 'told you so sense'. I genuinely wonder if they might learn from this and take on board that perhaps, maybe, experts really do know better than some Karen or Dave on facebook.

Similarly, I'd be fascinated to see what anti-vaxxers do when there's a vaccine for this thing.

You’d like to think so but I doubt it. If any of you know Peter Hitchens, a long-standing Mail on Sunday columnist, you won’t be surprised to know that he’s spewing out columns and tweets making the comparison with flu and saying the lockdown is unnecessary. Shouldn’t be a surprise as he’s a client change denier, says alcohol and drug addiction is made-up and, bizarrely, that even dyslexia is fake. Has made a good living pumping out this shite. And he lives in Oxford, the arrogant pompous twat.

Throughout Europe, only Spain has ever had a bigger one day total...961 on 2 April.
No, figure now adjusted to 980. We now have the worst single day's death figures in Europe. And continuing to get worse. Still at least "Boris is in good spirits". Who wouldn't be when they've presided over that kind of death toll?
