      Must be a big reduction in deaths from RTAs as well.

      Although there may be a rise in deaths due to DIY and other home accidents.

      Not a good time if you have an abusive partner either.
      Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

        And we need a sense of humour. Stress, negative thoughts etc are linked high blood pressure and hypertension. Hypertension is a risk with this virus. Let's all stop worrying about what might happen, let's act and think positively and give ourselves a fighting chance
        Surly this number will go up

            That's an interesting question ... will drinking related health issues rise?

            Pubs are shut, but supermarkets are still selling cheap booze so who knows? I rarely drink these days anyway, so the lockdown isn't impacting me .

              I doubt the minimum price per unit in Scotland makes much difference to consumption either

                    I stopped drinking. It weakens your immune system. I've got enough going on without that.

                    Why not? You want people to starve instead? It's like you've never heard of risk balancing... or you're trolling...
