2 pieces of news about statistics today.
Higher death rates among ethnic minorities.
Published statistics on tests obscure.

Cheers

What a difference a drop of rain makes. Today I saw no more than a dozen people jogging or walking whilst I was out for a walk which lasted around 45 mins or so.
It seems that exercise must be taken only in clement weather.

Hopefully no barbecues setting grass alight. Why were people so desperate to have barbecues? I was in the Spar shop on Friday evening. Spar Radio was blaring encouragement for customers to have barbies.

Its trendy, its fashionable,  what I cant understand is why spend a fortune on a gas powered mini kitchen and use it to turn your sausage and burger into charcoal  :)

It's like in 'normal' life, as soon as exercise classes start after New Year they're swamped with people who decide to 'get fit'. They do it for a few of weeks then drop out but during that time they've stopped the regulars booking the class. Drives me mad.

We are not people who go to the gym every day, but we do like to go walking (short distances). Pre corona it was perhaps drive somewhere for a walk, finish up with a coffee somewhere, or perhaps lunch.

For the past few weeks we have been taking walks from our house, made more pleasant by the weather. We drove about one mile to our local park recently, was packed out, didn't feel comfortable.

Yesterday, the first real rain we have had in weeks, we stayed at home to do some much needed housework!

Yes, we are clement weather walkers/exercisers only, who wants to go for a stroll in the rain?
