Thanks for this. I suspect cruise lines are going to be hit as hard as any in travel industry so I do worry about the £'s back ... a credit voucher isn't what I'm after at all.
I probably will pay the balance (and definitely on credit card) but my fear is they run some sort of stripped down...
DFDS ferry from Newhaven - Dieppe and 2 x Gites through Home and Away all very straightforward but I took the vouchers as I feel a need to support business where possible throughout this
BA very quick and simple. Didn't take vouchers as large party booking and will be difficult to reorganize...
Hey Notters ... this is what I wasn't getting yesterday ... why the difference? Can't be lag because the total on your graph looks well below the c 20,000 reported so far (or is it?)
Why look to the fans, many/most of who are everyday working people, to pay? What about the players? I can't imagine it's more than 3 or 4 weeks of their pay and I doubt any of them will be facing much hardship
I might be being stupid here so the c4500 cases today were those tested. Is that correct?
Undoubtedly there are more untested 'new' cases that are mild or asymptomatic, and not needing attention but there's still 4500 a day needing medical attention.
If it was only 15% and in fact there are...
Hey Notters where are you getting these from? I look at this every day and the numbers are wildly different to yours ... has new cases running along at 4000+ daily

Well having flat daily numbers of 600-700 new cases and 200 deaths going out ad infinitum isn't a good prospect and I'm not at all sure there's evidence that seasonal aspects play much of a role. Herd immunity is fine but there's (likely to be) a long way to go yet.
Deaths per capita are lower...
They could well be but I assume that would be common knowledge amongst staff.
I don't know that number .. she is my mates's wife in Oxford and no idea what it's like up there
and therein lies the problem. Many (of all ages) aren't bothered (and I can see a microcosm of that in activity near me) but the bit they don't seem to get (they say they do) is that a decent number will need to be hospitalised, they may well recover but front line staff are dying. I know one...
I don't know about anything other than the Canaries where they are about 25% of all cases. But I also understand (uncorroborated) that they don't have the PPE issues that they have on mainlaind
Here's the update from yesterday
I'm also looking at Spain (as we have a place there) which have far tougher lockdown conditions, but even they seem to be struggling. Although off their peak, new cases seem to be stuck around 4000 a day. I can only put this down to a combination of the poor health workers (25% appears to be the...
Has Sweden got it right do you think? My step son lives in Stockholm and definitely has a far more relaxed attitude ... but the numbers don't appear to suggest that what's going on there is any more effective than here. Indeed, as mentioned elsewhere there's an argument to say it's worse (but I...
