Apologies, my computational skills (?) preclude me from separating that from the blog.

Read that. Thanks.
The UK figures don't include people who have died undiagnosed in about 2000 aged care homes, so their death toll is much larger than it appears, which is already bad.

I see on TV last night that 20% of people tested in the USA are positive, compared with just 1.6% here in Oz.
Also said the infection rate is rising sharply in those states where people are demonstrating for the social distancing restrictions to be removed.
One poster held by a protester said the woman would rather be free and risk being sick. How dopey is that!
This is one of those times when I thank God I wasn't born in the USA.

Death toll in NYC is at 0.12% of the total population already.
