DEATH!

I don't understand. What was so exciting about death at 11:40 PM on a bank holiday weekend?

From BBCs More or Less programme.

An infected person has about 800million virus particles in them.

 

There's enough virus particles worldwide at any one time to about half fill a standard soft drink can.

That figure worried me, until I found this:

 

"New data show that the number of bacterial cells inside a human body is around 38 trillion. This turns out to be much closer to the estimated 30 trillion human cells in the body.

...... there are likely more bacterial cells than human cells in your body at any given time......."

I don’t know - everyone just constantly seems to want to write about death - death count, death per 100,000, rank of uk deaths compared to Europe, rank of uk deaths in the world, deaths by age, world deaths, future deaths per weeks, deaths by race, deaths by religion, deaths by sex etc - so I thought I’d join in.

Hope that helps.

 

 

This link is only for the fast track test and not the PCR for foreign travel. We went down this morning and they told us this. Thanks all the same.

First day with ZERO reported deaths.

Most likely because yesterday was a bank holiday and they haven't caught up with the admin yet.

Just trying to spread a little happiness..

 

That said think the total was ONE on Friday.

It's recorded deaths though.  There will, sadly, still be some requiring to be recorded from a month or so ago.  Some deaths take many weeks before being registered.

Standard SF outlook on life, @butlers- hence while I may visit, I reply sparingly. Methinks there must be a shortage of citalopram in Sheffield again. 🙂

Yes you're right,  Hopefully, we'll now  start getting more 'no recorded deaths days' than 'recorded deaths days'.
