My feelings on this is that even if the worst of the pandemic is over by then, it is likely that there will still be fallout - grieving from loss and other societal upheavals which will take much longer to settle.
I wouldn't really want to get married with stuff like that hanging around (but then I don't want to get married anyway, so not a great benchmark)
Exactly my way of looking at it. I've got a best friends wedding, plus the stag etc beforehand and at the moment everything is completely up in the air!

All those people would have lived because of an improvement in air quality end up dying because of Covid 19. You would think it’s a similar demographic.

Bad luck mate, the Bangface thruline in this drama has been one of the most interesting.
I remember going to Bangface when it was small enough to fit in the basement of Traffik on Old Street (That makes me quite old I guess)

We've got a Santorini wedding planned for June, no word yet. The stag do in Mexico in April is looking very unlikely, especially as the groom is in the UK too.

I am glad people haven't figured out the Chinese supermarkets here. Saw only about 10 customers
spread over 2 floor, all wearing masks and keeping their distance. Shelves well stocked except for
some MAMA noodles. -

Really neat dataset, but weirdly presented. They double count two days in the first two columns, and one in the second and third?
If London is one week behind the other cities in Europe (possibly two) it may not be doing too badly comparatively - although because the data is presented in such a weird way you can't really compare over time in sensical way.

It's £37.5k isn't it?
£2500 * 12 = £30k
£30k / 0.8 = £37.5k

Just had a chat with a mate in Brum. His wife is a consultant in the NHS, he's at home in quite long-term ill-health and classified as vulnerable. His wife is getting 3 briefings a day, and the latest is that if things go as they expect, they will be asked to work 18 hrs on, 4 hrs off and be put up somewhere rather than go home.

The first one is a repost from a few hours ago, but I found all three of these articles relevant to the UK's approach to dealing with the spread of the virus:

Do they have only have 22 hour days in Brum ?
My wife's hospital has offered to put staff up in hotels too, they're also prepping that the big wave is on it's way, probably within about a week (Edit: in France, not UK).

There are cases where this seems fair.
Like the guy (whose wife is a client of a close friend) that that came back on a bus from Ischgl, knew that there were people tested positive on the same bus, went back to work claiming he wont get it.
Part of his work is annoying really old people by bringing them flowers for their big birthdays. -

The impression I got was that they were working on a 22-hr cycle. But I didn't question it as he was giving me a bit of a deluge of information.

And yet the car audio noise box punters on the high rd near me continues to do a (literally) banging trade with four in the tiny shop and three people crowded around the boot of a hot hatch trying to work out how to be as maximally anti-social as possible... the name of the shop? Lockdown!
