In a very timely video, the always witty Ze Frank amusingly narrates the deepest thoughts and opinions that fish, cats, and dogs have about their humans being stuck at home.
In case you don’t know him – he is Hosea Jan "Ze" Frank, a Los Angeles-based American online performance artist, composer, humorist and public speaker.
The fish state that they’re used to isolation, while the cat fumes about being under constant surveillance by the “authorities” and the dog is just happy that the resident human finally listened to repeated pleas.
More than 2.5 million people around the world have now been diagnosed with Covid-19 and more than 170,000 have died, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Anyway, here are the infections, deaths and recoveries of 5 countries that I've been monitoring over 3 days:
On Sunday, Portugal reported 20,206 cases; a day later, Spain tallied 200,210 cases.
Russia officially reported 5,642 new cases on Tuesday morning, bringing the national total to 52,763.
In terms of fatalities, Spain registered 20,043 deaths on Saturday.
And on Monday, the number of people to have died of Covid-19 in France also passed 20,000 – but unlike many other countries, its death toll includes nursing homes.
According to UK’s Office of National Statistics, the true number of deaths from Covid-19 in England and Wales was significantly higher in the period up to April 10 than had been previously reported by the government.
At the time, the official figures stated that 9,288 people had died from Covid-19. But figures released Tuesday found the actual number was 13,121. That's 41% more.
The discrepancy is because the initial government figures only record those who died in hospital after testing positive for Covid-19. The more complete ONS numbers reflect everyone whose death certificate records a case of Covid-19 – even if it is only suspected, and whether or not they died in hospital.
Note: The new figures also show that 1,043 coronavirus deaths in the UK have taken place in care homes.
