I don’t think this article is saying there aren’t big problems for disabled people with the lockdown (like with food, people with serious conditions not being able to get medical treatment etc), but it’s focusing on just one particular part of life, which wasn’t accessible before. Education, and...

This scientist is from UCL, Global health epidemiology: I think this is the point. Locking down early enough. All the people who are dying now in the UK from coronavirus, and in other countries, did not have to die. There is almost a sense of inevitability about it in the media and from...

New Zealand PM: Their R0 is 0.48. She also seems to understand the point of waiting longer to lift lockdown, which in the long run, helps the economy anyway. It is notable that the alert level that New Zealand will be moving to when they relax it a bit called “Alert level 3”, is more similar...

Does anyone know why the ONS figures have not been added on to the “official” death toll? Didn’t the ONS release some figures recently? What about the fact we know they’re not adding community and care home deaths in, but care England said there could be as many as 7,500 cases.. will that ever...

If you scroll down on this, there’s case numbers by area: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/19/coronavirus-uk-how-many-cases-are-there-in-my-area#maincontent I would really Like to see even more localised areas than that, and ways it spreads, but as discussed above, that’s not available..

I had not been keeping an eye on the number of new cases and I did not know around 5,000 new cases were still being identified each day.. and that’s with the fact we are not even massively increasing testing. Is that not really concerning? Should that number not have gone down by now? Around...

I think their higher figure may be most accurate in terms of predictions for the UK deaths. This is assuming they are looking at total UK deaths, as under Total deaths it says: All deaths specific to COVID-19 patients. This would include care homes and community deaths. This is in tomorrow’s...

I just read the article about Kerala through twice..I think it’s amazing. it is so nice to read things like this. Something else struck me, that when they asked people to go into isolation, they did monitor them through police and surveillance etc but also they called them each day to make sure...
