The UK has now recorded more than 100,000 deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid-19 test. To put that in clearer terms, the capacity of Murrayfield Stadium is 67,000, so that’s one and a half Murrayfields.
I have nothing more to say tonight, nor do I think music is appropriate.
Ian : around the turn of the year, the grim total was 80 thousand dead, the capacity of the London Olympic Stadium watching when Usain Bolt won the 100m, so the equivalent of everybody in the stadium who watched it now dead.
Since then, just 26 days ago, another 20,000 people passed on equates to an additional capacity crowd at Fulham’s The Den.
World-beating.
