Internal sanitisation is definitely the answer, I'll test the antiseptic properties of a few bottles of merlot tonight and report back my findings.

Heard today that guy at work died; been self isolating, called ambulance Monday, died of organ failure. Been here 42 years. Sadly no service funeral that he rightly deserved after that time

That is one of the worse aspects of this disease. A lonely death with virtually no friends and majority of family at your funeral. Even those close family members that are allowed to attend often cant even hug or console each other. Heartbreaking.  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

those who disobey, consistently, should be made to work with NHS staff ......... to drive it home to them !!

conscription to NHS ......... especially the Mortuary Wing !!!!

we use to have 'Short Sharp Shock' ........ then the left'ies watered it down.

100yrs ago we shot "Deserters" .........

A few years ago we walked through Chambers Gorge in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. For kilometres there was a dead kangaroo or goat every 100 metres from the heat & lack of water. Kangaroos were trying to dig through the river bed pebbles to reach water.

The smell of death one can never forget. Force these people to use a spade for however long deemed necessary! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

The Trump administration declined to use a nearly 70-page pandemic preparedness playbook created by the National Security Council's health unit during the Obama administration, Politico reported.

I can't see that's going to be an issue though since the Orange One seems to think the US has hit it's peak and is on the home run now - from where he sits he can't see the mass graves being dug in New York . . . . . . . I suppose he's just pleased that the US has (or is heading to be) the country with the highest death rate, even more than China, so that's ok then in LaLa land or wherever he lives

My favourite Donald.

One thing that concerns me is the way that the figures are presented on TV almost like a football score ie 950 today etc. This is total deaths in hospital and doesn't include "coronavirus assisted" deaths in care homes or even deaths at home. Thus the important figure really is how many excess deaths are there per day over the normal rate for the population given that some people are dying of corona who might have died of something else very soon anyway? Interestingly admissions to A&E have dropped significantly recently.

An FT reader has done some research using ONS data and came up with the following

Last 2 weeks total: 21,786
5 year avg. corresponding weeks: 20,703
Excess: 5.2%

Presumably this implies a lower death rate after a cure or vaccine is found as some deaths will have been "brought forward"

This in no way negates the tragedies of individual deaths from the virus but it does demonstrate that there is more to this than the headline numbers. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I thought the totals were changed about a week ago to include CV-19 deaths outside of hospitals also?

Which is why we had a sudden jump in the totals. Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

Here is a link to the official Office for National Statistics (MSoft EXCEL) figures.

Although they are about 1 to 2 weeks behind they do show a breakdown of all deaths in England and Wales.

They also show comparisons of totals for 2020 and the last 5 years total. This last figure will prove how many extra deaths are occurring, and the whole total is more accurate than the Gov Briefing 'instant' figures.

Govt Briefing figures only include those tested positive for coronavirus, which are mainly hospital only at the moment.
