    Just saw today's death figures of 1290 and thought "Phew, only 1290, they're not gone higher than 1820 from yesterday."

    "Just" 1290 deaths.
    This has totally skewed our perspective.

      Still better perspective than me

      I just look at the figures now & think "but when are getting out of lockdown"

      I'm just numb to the figures now

        If you think about it in terms of Airbus A320s colliding with the side of a mountain, it's just 7 of them.

          Jesus H Christ, is it really that many?? That puts it into perspective.

            Yesterday's figure amounted to 1.26 deaths for every minute of the day. Today it amounts to just 0.9 deaths per minute.

                In terms of Titanics hitting icebergs, it's only 0.39 of those.

                  Well if its only 0.39 of those i’m fine with that, much more savoury number, just leave the titanic bit out and were good to end the lockdown. Good job marty your basically a politician already 🙂
