That’s area per population.
 
My workplace canteen is too cramped for safe tea and coffee making. We may install a new one before the place fully reopens, but think Greggs are going to get a big upswing in business from people who can’t heat up their own lunches or make their own drinks

I’m off work at the moment but this is the current set up.
The loneliness of the socially distanced engineer.
Sent to me by one of those stalwarts of industry I work with.
 
Someone told me at the weekend that Belgium has the highest deaths per million :hmm:

Do you have a link or reliable source as I was sure we were #1
Belgium gives the number of deaths in excess of the same period last year. Other countries give number of deaths in hospitals, or deaths in nursing homes and hospitals, or deaths where coronavirus has been confirmed prior to death or by autopsy after death. UK's figures are the two latter, but misses deaths which have not been confirmed as due to coronavirus before or after death. Many deaths at home or in nursing homes are recorded as being from other causes though could well be from covid-19.
Belgium's figures are likely to be closest to actual covid deaths.

The figures from the Office for National Statistics do give the difference between UK deaths and the same period averaged over the last five years.They are saying that the covid 19 period is around 64,500 more than the same period average over the last five years, while Government figures for covid deaths is 41,969 to date.
