BREAK: Finland's environment minister is saying that COP26 has indeed been postponed, as I was reporting earlier today.
No new date for COP26 has been confirmed. A source has told me that early summer 2021 is being discussed.
On COP26, a source told me yday: "Trying to do the international diplomatic heavy lifting required before the summit in this context is near impossible."

NEW: Extraordinary figures. 950,000 have signed up for Universal Credit in *two weeks*, from 16th-29th March.

For context, there are typically around 100,000 applications in any two week period.
I reported on Newsnight last week about the enormous difficulties people were facing in getting through to UC phone lines and registering their identities on their online system. This is why.
It's difficult to overestimate the level of economic difficulty in the country right now.

#COVIDー19 crisis response is another area where the performance of Prime Minister #ImranKhan's cabinet is inadequate & late resulting in a rapid surge in #coronavirus cases+infections. His TV address was unimpressive. @ImranKhanPTI can learn from @realDonaldTrump & @NYGovCuomo.
Unlike #USA+#Europe, #Pakistan is right next door to two epicenters of #COVIDー19 spread: #China & #Iran. China was initially late but later took impressive steps to contain the spread, incl quarantining #Pakistani citizens. Unlike Iran where Pk citizens visited in large numbrs.
What steps did PM #ImranKhan take for a #CoronaFreePakistan when it was obvious #Pakistan faced #COVIDー19 spread threat from #Iran; & when it became obvious that almost every neighbor incl #Iraq+#Turkey+#Gulf traced 1st cases to Iran & when #Tehran failed to warn neighbors?

Pretty high % of severe cases needed ICU in @TheLancet study on #COVID19 mild/severe: 📌61% mild, 39% severe. 📌Of the severe cases, 77% needed ICU. (79 Cases from Nanchang China, Jiangxi Provide; ie not Hubei). thelancet.com/journals/lanin…
Erratum: 76 cases not 79. Apologies for the mental copy paste slip.
2) “The mean viral load of severe cases was around 60 times higher than that of mild cases, suggesting that higher viral loads might be associated with severe clinical outcomes”. #COVID19

#Covidー19uk Statement

Pawprints Dog Rescue was first set up as a charity in 2012 with the primary aim to save the lives of stray dogs abandoned at local pounds. We will continue to do our utmost to meet any demands in the almost surreal situation that we find ourselves in, as
long as we can meet the financial obligation this will place on us from the highly likely increase of abandonment due to fear, illness or very sadly, death; that we can provide the kennel space and ensure that we have back up plans in place in case of mass self-isolation or
illness of staff at kennels or volunteers; we promise to try our hardest to save as many dogs lives as we possibly can. However, this may become impossible and people should prepare themselves for this eventuality. We expect that most of the larger rescue centres will cease

Day 8 of aggregating information on what goes on with #COVIDー19 in Iran.

Picking up from yesterday:

As stated before:

Finally authorities are putting Mazandaran province on quarantine: only fuel and food trucks are allowed. This late, its effectiveness will be limited.

The same authorities have had argued for quarantine to be "non-scientific" and "from middle ages".

Think someone is lying to you?

First check to see if they bothered to add any variability whatsoever in the model they are using to supposedly report actual numbers from a complex system.

#coronavirus
The mortality rate they want you to report is the - 0 day rate: Today's Confirmed Death total minus Today's Confirmed Case total.

This has not varied outside of 1/10th of 1% in the last 5 prints.

#coronavirus
But even a minor adjustment of a few days in the mortality rate paints an entirely different picture
