The land registry download is a 3.7 gig CSV.

It's a delight to work with a flat file that size.

size matters? - if you can parse 50 lines, you can parse 50G lines.

Good guesses.

Should have thought of priority. Two others you might expect are a Y/N for healthcare worker and nursing home resident.

Priority is a list, not a Y/N, and risk is a 0-5.
There was talk of a likelihood of full recovery field and a future benefit to society, but there was no agreement on how to word those.

Triage is excel-based, DC & the statisticians control the medical advice.

...although I should add the word “allegedly” to the above.

“ Up to 90,000 people are being infected with Covid each day, the government’s chief scientific officer revealed today, as Rishi Sunak launched a further economic support package to help workers and businesses hit by virus lockdown restrictions.

Sir Patrick Vallance said government modelling suggested that between 53,000 and 90,000 new cases of Covid were occurring every day, which would feed into hospital admissions in the coming weeks.

“The numbers speak for themselves,” he said. “They are increasing and they are not going to decrease quickly.”
