Normally the Thursday afternoon and evening before Good Friday is just about the busiest it gets on the roads during the year. Huge traffic jams build up on the roads and it can be mighty frustrating. Well today has been different. Everything is so different this year.

Remember that the redition in the US estimates, assuming reasonableness, were taking account of latest measures. Our pretty optimistic prediction of 20000 was already supposed to be if we did very well.
"Those on below-average incomes have been hit hardest, with those in the bottom income group increasing their expenditure on alcohol by 11 per cent."
An awful policy that has managed to make the lives of the miserable even worse.
If a son goes round his parents to see they’re ok, that’s more than ok by me. This period is bad enough without busybodies making it worse.
If he had been caught going on a 300 mile round trip jolly to the lake district, wells that's totally a different matter. Instead, clearly some curtain twitcher has dobbed him into the Guardian and they decided to run it regardless.
We should probably say something like "the cube of naff-all" but it doesn't sound as good!
Don't think your numerical prediction is going to be proven wrong though.
* Astonishingly (to me) this word is in the dictionary, which has pretty much made my day. It's been that kind of day.
What, for being a compassionate human and helping out his mum and dad who needed shopping and medication? Quite right, that kind of person doesn't belong in the Tory party.
Jenrick is a member of the Parliamentary Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI) group.[13][14] In June 2019, he represented the government at the Israel-Palestine peace initiative, led by Jared Kushner.[15] In January 2020, Jenrick spoke at the CFI parliamentary reception and told the audience that he would "look forward to the day" when Britain's embassy in Israel will be "moved to Jerusalem", adding that "as Housing Secretary I don't like land-banking. I want us to build that embassy".
It is a displacement activity for people who feel powerless in the face of nature.
I mean he definitely should have done better not to catch this thing that literally can spread so easily you need to be in a spacesuit 24/7 to be safe.
Either way, he seems to have had a valid reason for the visit, so I expect this to die away in a day or two.
Just like the press love to ask the politicians how many people have you killed today minister with that decision...how many people have you killed today members of the press?
It was clear and free from breathless hype.

Imagine if the government had locked us down when the media demanded it? Its like these behavioural insight people might know something.

Having done quite a bit of reading of what people traditionally use, I was shocked that things like "Gaussian Processes" never seem to feature. They are ideal for analysing the progression of current case / death data.
Realistically until there is a vaccine, we need much more advanced models to be able to move out of the lockdown phase.
The White House announced today that everyone in the room for the daily briefing will be given a rapid Covid-19 test, with results expected before the start of the briefing." BBC
What's this rapid Covid-19 test and why don't we have it in the UK?
We'll be in exactly the same position after the delayed lockdown, it will take just as long and more people will have died.

This is the moment they've been secretly waiting for all their lives.
Once you think of it like that it all starts to make sense.
Is there owt in this?
More seriously, he wasn't telling people to stay indoors.
You could argue the government left it a bit too late and shouldn't have allowed the likes of the nags on. I personally thought should have been a week previous.
But it is a careful balance, you have to have people at a stage where they know they need to isolate, they are getting scared of what is happening and thus the vast majority will agree to do so.
Personally I think Governments should leave well alone and tackle the root cause mental health issues instead.
As well as giving cover to the twats who just want to ignore the rules and go for a day trip to the lake district, it will probably scare honest law abiding folk trying to do the right thing into not wanting to get dobbed in by the curtain twitchers by visiting an elderly relative to make sure they are ok.
Claims 92% accuracy and MRHA approval FWIW.
As I have said before, it should be a gradual indoor inkspot lifting with people increasing the group of people they associate with gradually.
I am claiming it now, it will be 10 questions are about this story and include the most eye rolling bollocks of if a government minister can do x, can a member of the public do y.
Love that bit.
As a service to us all you should apply for voluntary euthanasia. Cause of death? Being sat on by someone with a BMI above 30.
What are they for again?
I don't think the sentry guns were in the original release, they wwere put back in to the director's cut.
I think we need mass arrests to make the point.
Would be a total an utter disaster, unless you are going to have Chinese style blockades around cities.
That's not how we do it here.
