Record Death Toll

Today the United Kingdom posted its worst death toll so far from the Corona Virus.

115 people died of the disease today, bringing the total death toll to 578.

But the experts on Radio 2 today were cautiously optimistic. One believed that we might get through this thing with less than 5,000 deaths. Tonight at eight pm we all went out on our doorsteps and clapped and cheered for the N.H.S. Silly but heartfelt and surprisingly touching.

We found our favourite Chinese takeaway is still open for another two days, so I went down and got some just as the clapping was ending. The roads were strangely quiet and the drive home has never been less stressful.
