Next slide please: data visualisation expert on what’s wrong with the UK government’s coronavirus charts

Everyone would benefit from fewer slides, presented more slowly and with more detailed explanation of how the data has been processed.

Covid-19: Assisted dying travel allowed during lockdown, says Hancock

The health secretary says those seeking assisted deaths abroad will not be breaking new Covid rules.

www.bbc.co.uk

In a typical Government fashion.

Yes but also no.

I'm not getting why gyms are moaning so much about lock down for a variety of reasons;

A - Most the gyms I've seen moaning and staying open are proper meat head gyms ie not the kind of gyms that are very welcoming to 'outsiders'. All the chains etc that attract more... normal people don't seem to be making a huge fuss.

B - why can't people just rent or buy their own equipment to use at home on a temporary basis? Better yet the gyms could rent their shit out.

C - If your mental health is at a point where the only thing that keeps you going is going to the gym then you really should be seeing someone about that in the first place and it's kind of negligible for the gyms not to raise that with customers that have mental health issues.

D - are they really just doing it out of the goodness of their hearts or is because they're missing out on lots of money (like everyone else?)

I have a school friend who now runs a gym and since day 1 he's been anti lock down, covid is a lie etc etc, because he's very fit (working in a gym would do that) so he's alright Jack.

There was a great headline that translates (without any context) to simply THEY ALL MUST DIE i must admit i was so shocked i had to click to find out what it was about, not sure if i was relieved or disappointed it was just about a bunch of mink

Still Mink farms should be abolished.

 

[Ormorof]

Yeah i think we will survive without it, most of the UKs mink and other fur farming went to Denmark after the ban in UK but its a dying industry no need to prop it up further

Covid-19: Merthyr Tydfil now worst in UK for case rates

People are "close emotionally and physically" which helped it spread, the council leader says.

www.bbc.co.uk

One of the biggest shitholes in the UK.

I rode from Cardiff to Bangor once (four day thing). Was pretty great for the whole thing apart from when I went through Merthyr - where a chav in a beemer punishment passed me, then stopped (his girlfriend in the passenger seat) and started having a pop because I was riding on his bit of the road.

I'd stopped about a twenty years earlier (for work) and formed an opinion then. It hasn't improved.

 

[Gwadien]

You heard it here first, the cure to covid is being nice to cyclists.

 

[Raven]

I always tell the wife to quickly open her door when passing cyclists, she never does

New lockdown: Manchester University students pull down campus fences

Undergraduates in Manchester say they awoke to find 7ft metal fences surrounding their campus.

www.bbc.co.uk

Would never treat non students this way.

Why does the Government understand that from history it clearly shows that students usually make the backbone of any Government protest.

It wasn't the government it was the University that did that...

 

[Gwadien]

It wasn't the government it was the University that did that...

With the Government's blessing quite clearly or lots of the unis wouldn't be doing the same thing.

 

[Job]

It says everything about their attitude towards students, we've got their money, we call the shots now.

Problems with security..
Lets build a fucking fence..

The exact same middle class academic idiots deriding Trumps wall.

That article mentioned one university...which other ones are doing this?

Most unis (and private companies that run student accommodation) have been doing the same and similar things all over the country - where have you been?

The Mail has found an easy way to make covid seem less scary, just turn all those nasty reds and oranges into shades of green.

 

[Moriath]

No fences in exeter. They had the students split out from the general population because there was a big prevalence of the virus in the student population and not in the locals. Its sensible.

Yes they had general isolations in a fair few Unis because many had caught Covid.

I think anyone with half a brain knows that. Guess the family brain cell has been used by the dog for the last decade.

Covid case rise 'plateauing' as Wales firebreak lockdown nears end

Wales' health minister says case rates remain high but are "levelling off" on the last day of lockdown.

www.bbc.co.uk

levelling off just in time to open up and increase again. They havent done anything but delay the increase because they are going back to exactly the same rules as when they went into their lockdown.
