might be US figures I'm thinking of but then 45k seems low for the US a week

Data says we made 79m extra shopping trips in March. Unintended consequences Probably the riskiest environment most of us encounter too.

Contactless limit to increase to £45.

supermarkets and public transport

And £1.9bn more foodstuffs in cupboards.

Hope they are physically sick of pasta and tinned tomatoes after this

It was dropping and I think those numbers are just England and Wales.

There are a couple of bad years where flu was the cause of death of up to 28,000 during 14-15 I think.

What she said when she caught it in her zip fly

First, that the cost of the economic bailout Rishi Sunack has proposed is too high. Spending that kind of money to extend the lives of a few hundred thousand mostly elderly people with underlying health problems by one or two years is a mistake.

Toby Young just tweeted that haha

Ooft I was reading that thinking "Ghod has gotten brutal" then I read the last line

I'n Heed here but somehow I completely missed the suspension of recycling, garden food collections and the waste centres. Trying not to watch news any more. More ridiculous council pash. At the very time households are generating more waste. No distinction between households of 1 or 8. Just how many 'waste operatives' are off 'sick'? This does not pass the sanity check. They are 100% at it. What about all the guys freed up from collecting business waste?

How do I know? Well, our bin men moonlighting as gardeners showed up today and told me! WTF is he doing gardening when he could be getting o/t for the council and keeping services going? No money, mate.

The only good news is he said just gimme a call and I'll huckle round with the lorry any time you want the bins lifted.
