I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

I hope he recovers too, even if he isn't my favourite PM.

A tiger at a zoo in New York City has tested positive for Covid-19. I didn't think it affected animals.

It jumped species from a bat to a human, possibly via a pangolin, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised (although I was).

Being VERY, VERY OLD does have its advantages. I had been advised by our eldest to do my shopping at Tesco during the old people's happy hour 9am-10am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I was sceptical, but did as I was told, for once. WOW it was good. There was no queue, I was handed a sanitised trolley and ushered into the store. They had most of the things I required, apart from canned tomato soup.  I was home just before 9.30.

Rather lovely story

'A couple in Spain, both 88 and married for 65 years, have both recovered from the virus and left hospital on the same day. Wishing Guadalupe and Jose many more years of happiness!'

this morning, I phoned Hants Adult Social Services and This afternoon, I have had a phone call from a woman who was given my number by them and who was helpful in giving me more information and a couple of phone numbers for eh particular problem I have, i.e. no-one to take the responsibility of doing my shopping. So I hope I'm getting somewhere on that.

This is an illustration of how bad the planning was. The modelling exercise in 2016 was ignored. The Tories have created a farce. Additionally it is the people who were the elderly 'well' who are more screwed by this lack of planning.

Watching Channel 4 news report on Bangladesh and it almost doesn't matter what happens as regards the spread of the virus,  people will starve to death because of the effect

The Guardian are reporting that Johnson's condition has worsened and that he has been moved to intensive care.

As is the BBC.
