Covid-19 killed 2,791 yesterday, more than Hepatitis B. There is now only one disease that has a higher daily death toll and that's tuberculosis.

The USA now has more cases than China.

Turning Point UK are producing Covid related me memes now. Someone I know has shared one on Facebook. I don't know if they know who Turning Point UK are. I suspect not. What to do...

[DCI Harry Batt]

But there are apparently very high false positive rates in the phone tracking in Taiwan.

Ask them? (to TT)

Ask them? (to TT)

Yeah, I might do that once my morning team calls are done.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Got an email a bit before 10, telling us that "scaffolding will be erected on 27th March 2020, to the rear of Block A".

Will it? Thanks for letting us know.

[The-Reverend]

Have we heard anything further from The Reverend? I'm worried for him.

Still here, thank you for asking made me smile that did.

Still on same trajectory, no worsening of breathing.

Boris Johnson has tested positive for Covid-19.

Rev, I wish you a speedy recovery. Great to hear from you, take care of yourself and see you hear again soon.

[ooh aah]

How long ago was he shaking everyone's hand? 1 week or 2?

[Snake Plissken]

Boris Johnson has tested positive for Covid-19.

[Capybara]

Agreed.

My parents always taught me that if you haven't got anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. Advice I haven't always followed, I admit.

In this case:

[longeared]

Has Johnson been near Dominic Cummings lately? Asking for a friend.

[Snake Plissken]

And Peston and Kuenssberg.

[Sits]

That’s an interesting point.

The Reverend - what they said.

Still here, thank you for asking made me smile that did.

That is a relief. But look after yourself mate. And remember you are as important as everyone else. If a medic thinks hospital might be the right place for you, listen to them.

Boris Johnson has tested positive for Covid-19.

And Britain moves one little step closer to herd immunity.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

I didn't realise he and Nadine Dorries were THAT close.
