Here is an uplifting video of Italian people talking about isolation. I don't think I'll be singing along with my neighbours, the poor couple definitely has their hands full, 2 of their kids are attempting to murder one another as I type this, or maybe they are just playing.

Good to see the Morrisons ad on Sky News, apparently they are cutting prices on essentials.

Not that they fucking have any.

Morrisons have done well by their staff it seems.

Asda have definitely put up prices a bit and (Walmart) hung their staff out to fry before, during and certainly after this.

Our picture of the expectancy of staying alive is miles divorced from almost all of human experience. For instance in the Roman Empire at the height of its sophistication about 30% of babies would die before the age of 1, and fewer than 50% would make it past the age of 5.

I do find this slightly comforting in the present predicament (not logical I know - but I’m human and hence not logical), that this is just what life is like, and we’ve been lulled by an abnormally quiescent century or so.

prunus child mortality was much lower among hunter gatherers. It was sedentary agriculture, admittedly forced by environmental changes, that caused the massive increase.

Against the Grain by James C. Scott is really good on this.

Of course there are instructional videos....
And I used to have a bit of a fascination with Bosch's weirdness...

Ok I admit initially triggered by the nude scene in a TV adaptation of the garden of earthly delights....

I'm not sure I believe this is a real thing. Wembley doesn't have a fully retractable roof.

Does explain where all the tinned tomatos went though
