NHS Covid-19 app: 12m downloads - and lots of questions
We look at why you can't log out of a venue, and how to change your postcode on the app.
That 0.4% is around 1.3 million people in the US.Vallance's estimates had us at a 0.4% death rate. About half don't get symptoms, another 30% will get mild symptoms. People under 20 will hardly ever fall ill from it but I have to teach in a box and refrain from even handing them a sheet. Where's the justification in that BS?

260k people in the UK.
24 million people globally.
it’s an astronomical amount of people who would die and as someone else has pointed out, that’s assuming the healthcare systems don’t get overwhelmed.
And why? Because people can’t wear a mask and watch more Netflix?
We have skype, FaceTime, free international calls Via WhatsApp or Viber, iPads, group messages, pretty much unlimited video content, games consoles, live sports, food delivery services at the touch of a button. Our lives are literally better than 99% of literally everybody who has ever fucking lived on this planet to date and we complain and struggle to make small sacrifices for 1/80th of our lives so that we can move on and beat this shit.
It drives me fucking mad
We've watched every single episode of Peep Show!One thing I’ve noticed is that whenever I watch something and there is a gathering of any kind in a bar or something, I instinctively find myself thinking “they’re taking a chance”- this thing takes over your thoughts completely
The Office (USA version) is my go to escapism programme, and the Channel 4 programme that was on Channel 4 in about 2001
Despite working as a web developer I'm still having to go in to the office every day, 2 people have started coughing regularly now we're having to wear masks when we walk around the office. I'm only really putting it on here to get a bit of frustration out. We could all easily work from home. Fucking nuts.
Was that channel 4?
Why are they summoning you in? Especially with new directives.Despite working as a web developer I'm still having to go in to the office every day, 2 people have started coughing regularly now we're having to wear masks when we walk around the office.

Sorry I meant my company not everyoneI couldn’t, but a lot probably could
I dunno, it's very frustrating.Why are they summoning you in? Especially with new directives.
The coughers need a test and to go home if it's dry! Although I've had a bit of a cough for... a month? and it ain't Covid, but I guess might worry a stranger if I was in an office with them...
The only actual public service broadcaster leftWas that channel 4?
Yep. The dribbling, europhile, woke, vegan, lesbian, trans, communist channel.Was that channel 4?
Yeah, Mrs Wisdom will still have to go in, I suspect, because of the guidance rule.My place is treating the guidance as “guidance” and saying they can still have people in because they’re COVID safe (they’re not). Luckily we haven’t started bringing people back from last time so not much different. But now I’m living with my Dad who is vulnerable I’m very edgy about being asked to go back in right now.
Where?260 cases per 100000
Liverpool is just about that I think (was looking yesterday) and Manchester is 200+ as well.Where?
To be fair BSB isn't saying he's not going to wear a mask and watch more Netflix.That 0.4% is around 1.3 million people in the US.

I don't think piling on at someone who is having mental health issues related to the unending shitness of it all is a good look either tbh.
Not sure if it's still true now but read a council report on student accommodation a few years back that said Warwick Uni students were more likely to be in halls and close to the uni where Cov Uni students were spread around the city in private accommodation.Looked at the map for the first time in a while: ArcGIS Web Application
Are there specific differences between what Cov and Warwick Uni have done on the return? In the map above, a big hotspot in Cov is Canon Park & University. Yet around central Coventry and east of the city centre, no particular evidence of a student related surge.

Looking at that map you can see how universities are really driving some of the high figures we are seeing.
Looked at Manchester and the real hot spots are the Oxford Road strip and Fallowfield.
You clearly spend most of your time sniffing round these places by the sound of it.It's not really like that anymore, the Cov Uni students now largely inhabit the many newly build student halls in the city centre where as the Warwich students have started to move in to places like Canley etc.
Do you do this a lot ?Looking at that map you can see how universities are really driving some of the high figures we are seeing.

To be fair I think his post is nothing to with anyone's mental health. BSB asked the what the justification for the restrictions on a virus that may have a 0.40% mortality rate and RK was extrapolating the figures based on that.
