Cerberus 302 Posted March 22, 2021 Very much a last minute bid by TUM there as the figure is generally revealed on the BBC News at about 4.15. Just 17 today - unsurprisingly, everyone guessed over. So, what's the Tuesday spike going to be? I'm going with a modest 73. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exu 250 Posted March 22, 2021 Tuesday 75. . The age at which some are eligible for a free TV licence. I don't follow this subject that closely and I know there has been a bit of a kerfuffle over this so the rules might have changed recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exu 250 Posted March 23, 2021 Todays score was higher than expected. I wonder if reporting is becoming less efficient. We had 141 last Wednesday so I'm going to go for 80 tomorrow - the number of days phileas fogg reckoned he could circumnavigate the globe in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerberus 302 Posted March 23, 2021 Yes it seems a big jump from 17 to 112 which suggests the Monday figure was under-reported. Wednesday 93. Disappointing as it is to see another 100+ total our problems are insignificant compared to some of our neighbours. What must they think in Italy, which declared 551 deaths today, when they see the UK figures? And disturbing numbers continue to come from central and eastern Europe. Realistically, who will still be dying of this thing in Britain a month from now? They will fall into three groups I suggest: those who refused the vaccine, those who were unable to receive it because of other treatment they were having, and the unlucky 10 per cent for whom it simply didn't work. I expect to see case numbers fluctuate, maybe up to 10,000 a day at times, but death numbers to continue to fall until sub-50 becomes the norm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a huge critic of this government, but I have to admit they've knocked it out of the park with the vaccination programme which has finally put us in a much better position than most other nations. It makes up for some of their earlier clusterfucks. Anyway, Wednesday 69. Dude. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bentrovato 1,088 Posted March 23, 2021 Wednesday 101. Death of John the Apostle. The Church Fathers identify him as John the Evangelist, John of Patmos, John the Elder and the Beloved Disciple, and testify that he outlived the remaining apostles and that he was the only one to die of natural causes.
