Well I dare say he'll be shaking fewer hands on the way out the door this time, regardless of how it goes.

Sweden has not locked down and at this stage their death rate does not appear to be any worse than most European levels and significantly less than some. This may or may not last. Spanish and Italian figures are horrendous but at this point we just don't know whether their total deaths are going to...

Yeah but poor economies mean dead people. It's a balancing act.

Geez, I haven't used logarithmic scales since I did calculus in year 13 / 7th form. If my understanding of that graph is correct, NZ is about middle of the pack in regards to where other countries were at day 30 odd after their first case. However, NZ's curve is definitely flattening out in compari...

Well, that's the twatwaffle off to hospital, and a lot of furious spinning going on. What is the spin? 'Precautionary", "he's got a temperature", "his hand's very much on the tiller".

I'm in the office this morning so here it is for those who asked. Being under 1000 it may not be taking into account "probable" cases https://i.ibb.co/SvYp0rL/covid4.jpg So that graph troubles me. It's total cases, not per head. To get per head you'd need to multiply our cases x70 to be compared wi...

I haven't been watching the briefings so apologies if this has been answered there, but how long does it take from a test being taken to the results being known? Are the results we are getting now from the days with higher testing or is that still a couple of days away? Good point, I think I read r...

Not surprised that $1 buy out was turned down.......sets a precedent for every other business that wants out. Did they offer anyone else the same $1 deal?

Media putting media at the top of the news.

5. Hard to tell, but our confirmed figures have increased at a steady rate so far and haven't gone exponential. So maybe. Although there is some concern that those figures might reflect the bias we have had in our testing. The figures are a nonsense. They're accurate, in that that's the number of +...

I think PPE and testing rates / rationing is going to become a major headache for the government. As soon as care home workers, disability support staff, etc. start to loudly demand protection we'll find out the story we're getting on PPE isn't right.
