1467902 2020-04-04 02:24:00 Do you reckon those somewhat vague statistics would be better with a few decimal points salt & peppered around?

2nd wave of coronavirus may be more virulent, and global warming will eliminate many more. Just because a bit of airborne pollution has reduced does not mean the threat is over, 40 or 50 years of build up still coming down the tracks, ie plenty of lag in the system.

Good idea. Then multiply the answer by 1² if you need further convincing. ;)

1467909 2020-04-05 20:20:00 I wonder if anyone has statistics on the numbers not killed by road and work accidents or crime because of the lock down. I suspect more lives have been saved than lost. A lot more! CliveM (6007)
