Covid Corvid


An interesting couple of charts showing historic deaths per annum for the UK. (click to enlarge).




The annual changes are not that large and thus being able to analyse a spike for 2020 will be extremely helpful in determining the effect of Covid on the numbers. Naturally, because of the lockdown, adjustments would have to be made for the drop in road deaths.

I think I might start building and selling Corona fallout shelters - like the ones people were building in the 80s at the height of the Cold War. You must still be able to buy houses that had nuclear fallout shelters installed in their gardens.

I'm detecting that people are getting fed up with Covid - the proliferation of funny memes on my WhatsApp have slowed down dramatically recently and I'm now getting the more usual funny, unfunny and totally sick and tasteless stuff that was prevalent before the lockdown.

Changing the subject from Covid to Corvid, while on a walk this week we spotted a crow pestering a raptor, and succeeding. You'd think a raptor could make short shrift of a crow, but apparently not.
