Ah, good. Please can you deal with my credit rating? :)

If I had a million pounds for every time I've been asked that question, I'd not have to work for a couple of years. Now I'm gonna go for an absolute certainty that you have an excellent rating, but that part of the business is SO secure. There are two places I have been which were more secure (and that's a bit odd given that I've never been allowed into the high security section of Experian)

One is the Serasa Experian data centre which holds all of the social / government data for Brazil. Only a limited number of people at a time since you'll run out of O2. There's only passive cooling to stop anyone pouring something corrosive into the A/C. Full biometrics and a registered user has to confirm it's clear before they leave (via the airlock)
The other place was one a SCIF for a company I won't reveal:

What I would like to see is normal monthly death totals for oct /nov/dec/jan/feb/mar/ 2017 2018 and 2019 that way at least one could see a comparrison of corona assisted deaths against a normal winter death toll , if the emphasis really is largely due to previous underlying medical conditions it would make more of an impact mentally on most people to convince them this is gonna be really big ,

Just spoken with my mining investor pal , who amongst other things supplies around 60 ambulances and paramedic crews on 24/7 basis around the north east of England , I think he supplies about 6-8 hospitals Leicester being one of them , Normal accident and emegency rate of around 1000 people a day in normal times , they even a few weeks back set up a secondary triage centre to cope with the ovespill , since this corona he says its deserted lol , no one wants to even go near any hospital if they can help it , but they have switched his contract to supplying all he can muster now, he also has around 250 taxis which were on authority school runs , now getting switcched to ferrying NHS staff to and fro from home to work ................that part of his business is flying and is a saving grace for him , his other 10/12 businesses including his pub are casualties at this time

I worked at DLVA Swansea for a few stints the number of people that asked me to remove points from their licences!

Derr, audit log!

Though I can hide my own history, at the Unix level, given perms, not Oracle level, but then again, sudo, connect as/sysdba, delete a record but no doubt there are other checks at that level I wouldn't know about....

Just to compare against Italy on the 14 day difference between them and us
They were 827 as at 25th March (minus 14 days) we are at 433 (only 11 today) so we are falling right behind now in terms of deaths per 1mm people.
Good signs
Does anyone else concur?

Oh I know, I'd never try it risk is too great but I think I know enough to get away with it if I had root/padmin perms (DVLA use(d) AIX) by nefarious means. No to change anything, but certainly to copy VG's off...

No mate, life here pretty much as normal. I get my Telegraph in the morning and sit on the roof terrace doing the cryptic with a coffee. Then I do a couple of jobs around the house and then work on my projects if I can be bothered. Standard retirement really. Its all good, and when I fancy going out for a thrash, the roads are empty. Personally, I don’t see what all the fuss is about.

I will see what I can find, but in the meantime here is 'excess winter deaths' for England and Wales. This means comparing the number of deaths that occurred in December to March with the average number of deaths occurring in the preceding August to November and the following April to July - EWD = winter deaths minus average non-winter deaths

So this is really saying that ordinary respiratory illnesses (plus a few ice-falls and hypothermias) cause the 'premature death' of anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 people every winter nowadays.
