this bit "Aim is to give more time to collate NHS data and inform families before ages and

locations made public"

suggets that the 4 hours isn't really what's behind the drop in numbers

i'm reading it as, for example, it might have taken 1 day from the actual death for it to be included in the numbers, but there are now so many that it's taking 2-3 days after the death for it to be shown in the numbers.

Obviously this is my interpretation of his interpretation of what's going on.

i hope i'm wrong.

the news from Prof. Neil Ferguson yesterday was super encouraging.

then i see a report from Italy or Spain and immediately start questioning what is behind the thinking that it's going to be so different here.

Having the Scrampton Jnrs at home is proving a great and happy distraction!
