I read that he'd tested negative--------or is that fake news?

Nothing Trump says or does would surprise me.

Graphic on how social distancing / duration / early or late start affected the number of deaths in various US cities during the 1918 pandemic.

Cities that ordered social distancing measures later and for shorter periods tended to have spikes in deaths and higher overall death rates.

Cities that ordered social distancing measures sooner and for longer periods usually slowed infections and lowered overall death rates.

I have taken to reading all sorts of stuff re the 1918 Spanish Flu too.  Let's hope it doesn't unnerve us too much!

What a very silly thing to say.

Try reading about the Village of Eyham and The Plague.  That was really not funny.

Back to you!  If Trump has hushed up that he might have the virus, wouldn't you be wary of receiving one of those markers he's just handled?

Would he do that, do you think?

Boris didn't know he had the virus until a few days ago and no doubt either passed it on to or received it from other members of COBRA.

But if Trump is capable of faking a suntan, then...

Have you got The Plague?  It looks like it by your Avatar.  Poor you.

I use more than just soap... diluted Dettol every time I have a doorstep delivery and have to sign one of their electronic gizmos, and even after handling the daily post.

Like many, I've been feeling a bit peaky blinders lately with the odd cough and sore throat, but test kits are not  available online yet, so who knows.

I watched the film adapted from the play "The Roses of Eyam" many years ago. Don't remember who wrote the play. Did discover that the village is partly a National Trust site now, and hope to visit one day.
