Of course, some of those will be undiagnosed COVID deaths, and some secondary as equipment and care isn't available for others when capacity is taken up with COVID.

This is the one.

I'd love to know what the other deaths in that spike have been attributed to. I'm assuming that is a victim had cancer then the cause of death has been recorded as cancer rather than COVID19 which has caused that death to be premature?

That’s what I was trying to do at 4 am! Fail on my part. But I’m symptomatic for the Covid plague (mild only so don’t start a fundraiser) so I’m not all that good at anything right now.

That's the thing, I have also been symptomatic, but those symptoms can also be attributed to other things, too.

My wife and I have been offered tests by a client of my wife's, but I'm unsure whether we should take them. On one hand, it would be good to know if we've had it, so are currently immune, but on the other hand, it could potentially be a lot more use to someone else.

If you are positive, you then know to stay the fuck away from anyone, and the data is useful. There is no treatment for coronavirus. Basically it's supplemental oxygen for as long a period as it takes the body to heal itself. What's the diff if you or someone else gets tested in that environment?

Would the cancer patient have died if they weren't exposed to the virus? Ditto flu and other ailments. That's the evil genius of swamping health facilities all at once. The trickle down is devestating.

Because we've completely self-isolated, so if we had it, it's gone already? I guess you're right, I just thought there was a potential shortage of testing kits and more at risk or less isolated people should be tested first (we live deep in the suburbs, we're pretty damn isolated).

Little?

He’s one of the holy septuplets of cuntdom, along with Trump, Modi, Duterte, Putin, Erdogan, and my glorious Viktator.

Here Eug, what should I be thinking about this then... Scottish Govt emergency legislation to suspend trial by jury and treble FOI request time limit to 60 days.

FOI, meh. Civil Service is unlikely to have capacity to deal with anything at the moment anyway.
