Re: Coronavirus Thread. Virus v humans
One interesting sidenote - deaths amongst 15-24 year olds have dropped a lot in the 3 weeks ending 10th April. You'd have expected c.85 deaths in those weeks, but there were only 55, a fall of 35%. I'm guessing the lockdown is reducing risk taking. Car accidents down? I was going to say, "not drivi...

"Perish"
What is it about the words "die" or "death" that cause everyone to use every euphemism about? "Unfortunate passing" is a favourite of institutions in letters telling you date of death balances.

Re: Why don’t people eat crusts anymore?
I have to say that although I am in the "white bread is naughty, relatively speaking" camp, cheap white is the best bread to use for sandwiches containing bacon, fried eggs or similar and nothing beats its ability to soak up the delicious fatty juices left in the pan when doing a fried slice.
