Thick as whale spunk fucking hell !! had the misfortune to look at her twitter profile 8.5K followers as well, geezus

German car manufacturers will sort it out for the airlines

Yet another project fear item becomes reality

To week ending 2nd October, total registered deaths, all causes from ONS, remains at 5% (circa 600) above 5 year average (been around that for last 3 reported weeks).

Trampdalf obviously magic'ed himself into a stately home

Not for me

Evidently this app only checks you in, and not out, so if you only go to one place and you don't check in somewhere else afterwards it logs you as being at first place until midnight - fucking shambles

Thoughts and prayers for all those little fish out in the Pacific with (checks notes....) no water 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think you're right, immunity pisses off sharpish evidently But we'll not know until someone gets a positive test but is asymptomatic and then gets it again later and again tests positive

Always amazes me, if Scotland is such a HUGE drain on the rest of the UK, why the fuck are Westminster so desperate to keep hold of such a patently deep money pit !!!

What a fucking surprise https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54455666

or

There was a Doctor I follow on twitter this a.m. it said he could maybe become a paramedic

I just wish Hadrian's wall was the border, as every thick southern fucker seems to think, as a proud Northumbrian (of Scots heritage) I'd have best of both worlds

When mate, when, I think it is inexorable now

I'm planning on living up there after Indie (or closer to it), I think a lot of people miss that point you make, once Indie happens SNP will have served their purpose and will morph into something else and other parties will appear and as you say PR will be way more democratic.

Don't think like that, hang in there, we've got sunlit uplands and unicorns from January.

Yep, and that is down to lack of funding of the NHS and nothing else, there's been zero steps to mitigate the effect of Covid on other services.

Before Covid through to Start of March deaths were 4K below 5 year ave for that time of year. Between March and first week June it went mental with 58K over average Between Early June and Mid August it was 1600 below the average (week by week patterns very similar to start of year pre-covid) From Mid August to date (end Sept) we're back to above average (and climbing) of 1800 above average. ONS data in my non Serco spreadsheet

Excess deaths over average has gone up 4.1%, 4.9% and 5.2% in last three reported weeks, it is climbing albeit slowly just now. I thinks it's combination of lower age of the infected and much improved care for those seriously ill such that mortality rate is lower than when it first hit no matter what, unless of course services get swamped. Florida model showed a good few weeks lag from younger age groups being infectious until it inexorably climbed into the older/more at risk categories. Early days yet.

Excess deaths per ONS to w/end 25th Sept (my own graph in Excel as it seemed appropriate)

Joint Chiefs all isolating now, Donaldimir’s played a blinder
