I'd wait to see what the corrected data looks like. Something about that trend doesn't sit right.

My MiL manages her day-to-day money by occasionally transferring money from her savings account into her current account. She only ever does that in a branch of the bank. And she also usually withdraws money in a branch, Her current account is running low, and she wants to get some money to us by writing a cheque.
She can't go into town as she is 90. And she doesn't have a ATM card for her savings account. She doesn't use her mobile; she doesn't have a smartphone; she doesn't have broadband; she doesn't have a computer/ipad etc; she doesn't have email. My BiL is with her but he is oddly clueless with this sort of stuff. So we are having to work out how to get her to accept us getting on-line banking set up for her and doing a transfer
But she won't want my wife or my BiL to know how much she has in savings...she's from South Yorkshire
Is there another way...?
Make it a joint account with your wife who will know how much she has when the inevitable happens. It will also be easier with dealing with her affairs later. Alternatively allow access to her Executor
Phil, see the attached link. Its been pretty close to the figures released by Spain each day.

That’s the same figures as mentioned and explained in the other link
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/health-52361519
“
On Tuesday 823 new deaths were announced, but most of these happened in the previous days and weeks. Some even date back to March.
Prof Sir David Spiegelhalter, of the University of Cambridge, said the NHS England figures suggested we were past the peak and in a "steadily" albeit slowly improving position.”
As of 9am 21 April, 535,342 tests have concluded, with 18,206 tests on 20 April.
397,670 people have been tested of which 129,044 tested positive.
As of 5pm on 20 April, of those hospitalised in the UK who tested positive for coronavirus, 17,337 have sadly died.
That’s 823 deaths, that’s a much bigger number than has been reported over the last week, and this is a daily report from the Department of Health & Social Care, and is based on the last report 24hrs prior!

While great to see 'Deaths' reducing, New cases seem to be pretty consistent at around 5.5k/day, so still essential to maintain 'lockdown' imo. Yesterday's lower number 'doesn't count' imo as Monday always seems 'low'! ICU reduction could also be a case of nursing staff getting 'more familiar' with symptoms/reactions and not sending to ICU unless essential.
I don't believe we're in a position to lift lockdown restrictions for some time yet!

Been there, done that, got the medal.
Clutchin at straws, can she use a local use a post office.
BTW Awful performance by Handcock today. He looked like someone with a worry on his mind.
More ummms and errs than a 19 year old trainee manager.
BTW 2....Has anyone worked out that 1,000 tests a week will take 700 weeks to check out all of the UK.

The news about the vaccine sounds very promising. I looked online about volunteering for the human trials and they're over subscribed

Bit more in-depth on here
It’s trying to give a more accurate representation on when the deaths occured as opposed to reported.

It proves even NHS has its share of idiots.
Next door to me both daughters are nurses and visit her all the time , husbands and kids.
My daughter goes mad but I have told her to forget them.
She hasn’t seen her boyfriend for the lockdown.

And this is what we are up against;
Yes, that car park is as empty as it looks, yes, everyone else was leaving plenty of space so the muppet decided to see how close they could park to mine. Fortunately I left before they came back otherwise I may have struggled to maintain social distancing.

I think the figures in which ever way you look at them are sadly still too high for any chance of a lightening of the lockdown. If you add in Fish's observations on his travels then lockdown is ceasing to be an effective tool and people are simply "taking a chance" and mingling around. Certainly plenty more cars on the road when I came home today. I think we are approaching a crossroads. The government will either to up the anti somehow and enforce the lockdown more vigilantly with the option of adding additional restrictions or look to release the pressure and start to come out of lockdown step by step. Given the numbers I am seeing at a local level, and taking into account the length of average stay in ICU (plus follow up treatment on wards), the numbers still coming in and the number we are losing I simply don't see it flattening out.

That’s taken me back nearly 40 years! Regularly used to share a loaf with a mate at lunchtime, throw the soft bread at each other, stuff each half with chips then drown in salt and vinegar!...... Iced finger for pud ???

I think people in general are starting to be far less concerned about the social distancing etc. I recall a few weeks ago when you went in to a supermarket you can see visibly on people's faces the fear in them, that doesn't seem to be there so much now.
So it seems they are naturally slackening themselves so can't see how a tightening of the rules is going to work and it was always the case that you can only lockdown for so long before the public gravitate against it.

Isn't that what they said about locking down to early.. that people would get bored and start to ignore
Almost like they were right

People will and are getting bored of it, as I say, you can almost see a natural slackening on it around, possibly cause people have switched off to the constant media dangers of it.
