I see that the FT Coronavirus tracker has changed the way that it has been graphing deaths and confirmed cases. It now plots daily numbers, rather than cumulative numbers, as a fn of days since 20 deaths or 200 cases in 1 week respectively. This more clearly shows the turning points in daily figures, but does hide the total cumulative impact.

Like that a lot. It's a Rose Chafer btw, and early too - these smart beetles don't usually appear until early May in the UK.

Presciently, in expectation of a 'lockdown', I got a no.1 at the barbers a couple of weeks ago. It should last me a few more weeks before I have to join the self-shawn, or risk asking my partner or daughter to cut my hair. I'm sure they would both love to do it, but I hate to think what 'look' I'd end up with.

I went to see my 84 year old mum today. An hour and a half drive each way. I sat outside chatting with her through a cracked back window, eating lunch - a flask of tea and a peanut butter sandwich, trying to help her learn how to use a Kindle (she'll manage that) and a smartphone (not so sure). She's lucky in that she has very generous, friendly and kind neighbours, but 12+n weeks of isolation is going to be very very hard for many old people.
