I have not forgotten about COVID-19, I was just waiting for the 3 million cases mark to arrive. It has advanced as expected (on April 19 I suggested it would take just over a week with a day or two still to go and the current total being ~2.86 million) but not quite there yet. ...

More on COVID-19, and a little Heuristics
I want to add a few more points to what I said yesterday in my post on The Virus and to aid this, while the numbers have obviously now moved on, I am also sharing the same image of the situation as at yesterday. It turns out, as I was thinking about this before starting... Continue Reading →
A COVID-19 Update
It is now 5 days since I last reported on The Virus situation. That was the day following the end of the Easter holiday period. Has anything changed in that time?
