What if a woman goes into premature labour on a plain? Is that child native to the country who’s airspace the aeroplane is in at the time?

Depends what country the plain is in Tony

Under these rules Erling Haaland would be playing for England but Raheem Sterling wouldn't. It's all a bit nuanced really init.
Yep

Just walked to the shop, cars flooding the nearby McDonald's and two had collided near the exit.

220k tests with only 1800 cases, signs were going in the right direction with more testing and less cases... would have expected a big spike with nearly double the tests

Have we had double the tests or have we just started counting each test as two as reported? Are they reporting number of people tested yet?

176 deaths! Although each death is terrible that’s low for a Thursday and shows we’re on the downward trend

He said "220,057 tests carried out or posted out yesterday."

So probably about 80k tests in reality

Making people where face coverings on public transport but not when out in mass bike rides, good one

Hospital admissions are up though

"up 74 from yesterday and up 30 from this time last week. This is the first time the 7 day rolling average for new admissions has risen since April 8th."

Well given the % of hospitalised people who don't make it I'm fairly certain it'll be going back up again

The daily death rate is a misleading figure. Infection rate is a better one.

Which happily has trended slightly down we don't yet know how many people tested.

Trying to throw care home owners under the bus now.

'What about trains going into Scotland and Wales?'

'Their administrations will probably end up copying us'

He also does realise that continental Europe is closer to many in SE England than Scotland is?

The underlying data is published, i hadn't realised that:

Slides, datasets and transcripts to accompany coronavirus press conferences

Admissions up day on day 17%, that is a big number.

Edit: In fact, it's the sixth highest day of admission growth as percentage since 20 March.

There is a definite reporting lag in the data, as approx every 7 days there is a growth in admissions reported which looks odd

Something funny about that number. Big drops/rises don’t make a lot of sense with this data, usually either we’ve just discovered a cache of tests down the back of the sofa, or we’ve just lost a load.

Good news, but colour me skeptical until we get a few more days of detail. This time next week we should know what effect easing lockdown has had, no?
