Must be a big reduction in deaths from RTAs as well.

Although there may be a rise in deaths due to DIY and other home accidents.

Not a good time if you have an abusive partner either.

Someone take the key to the shed off Diver!!!

I’m drinking a lot more since lockdown.

I stopped drinking. It weakens your immune system. I've got enough going on without that.

If this was to stop a real pandemic why the **** are takeaways, vape shops delivering and supermarkets hiring Covid pron staff!?!?!

Why not? You want people to starve instead? It's like you've never heard of risk balancing... or you're trolling...

Seeming like a load of tulip
Tescos needs an extra 20000 staff
you can order takeways
405000 want to get out the house and volunteer to help
amazon to hire 100k more staff!
my local vape shop delivers !!!

Wife's Mom works in a solicitors ..... they've seen a massive rise in will writing, and (as they do every Christmas) are expecting a rise in divorce work over the coming months. Asked her if she knew BP .....

ex-wife 27 I think?

That's an interesting question ... will drinking related health issues rise?

Pubs are shut, but supermarkets are still selling cheap booze so who knows? I rarely drink these days anyway, so the lockdown isn't impacting me .

I doubt the minimum price per unit in Scotland makes much difference to consumption either

[Whorty]

Surly this number will go up

Thousands of people die every week of horrible diseases but we don't have media frenzies about these, stirring up the masses into a panic. We need calm and control (I know BoJo is leading, but even so).

And we need a sense of humour. Stress, negative thoughts etc are linked high blood pressure and hypertension. Hypertension is a risk with this virus. Let's all stop worrying about what might happen, let's act and think positively and give ourselves a fighting chance

Hardly anybody is dying of Covid-19 (so far anyway). But the irony is, compared to normal, a lot less other people will die because the lock down will supress other infectious diseases as well.

There have still been at least ~400 deaths from this (in the UK alone), by all accounts terrible disease and is a horrible, grisly death from all the literature - so please, let's hope someone you know doesn't go the same way eh?

US gun dealers say sales are exploding as Americans arm themselves with 'shotguns, handguns and AR-15s' amid panic over the coronavirus and Los Angeles and other cities classify stores as 'essential'

• US gun sellers say sales are way up as Americans rush to protect themselves from a possible coronavirus panic
• Buyers are purchasing guns and ammunition in the event they have to defend themselves from people who become desperate and unpredictable
• One seller says 'a lot of people are buying shotguns, handguns, AR-15 (semi-automatic rifles), everything,' and that she is now open seven days a week
• Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva also has allowed the stores to stay open, after the county's attorney classified them as 'essential'
• San Diego's Sheriff Bill Gore also allowed the shops to remain open, saying they provide a 'valuable public service'
• According to data from the FBI, just over 5.5 million background checks were conducted in January and February combined
• Such checks generally rise in an election year, as they did in 2016. But this past January and February have outpaced 2016 by nearly 350,000

I was chatting to the Registrar of Deaths this morning. Nice chap. Was a police inspector before he retired.
