Why, will people skimp on the coffins when funerals are livestreamed and opt for ones with less fancy interiors and cheaper handles?

Doesn't matter to us, margins are the same for crem or burial.

Do you not think you'll be getting a lot more orders?

Not really.
UK death rate average is 600000 per year averaged out over three years.
Hasn't been that for at least three, low 500s at best/worst.
In my opinion this year's rate will not be much above the 600000.

Germany doesn't have the NHS as a millstone around its neck, Germany provides healthcare the way a sensible, modern country unencumbered by misplaced emotion towards an overpriced, failed concept would.

Don't know about S Korea, but I hear very few things I like about how that country's citizens are treated lately.

Edit:

If you want me to be a little more specific I could ask you whether Gordon Brown's unicorn farm was planning on bricking out reagents (required to build testing kits) but the result is the same.

War footing is the only way. New York state saying they will need 30,000 ventilators.

Cuomo is doing a good job there.

People are saying if we are not careful in two weeks we will be like Italy... Milan is not London. I fear it will be a lot worse.

How long did it take us all to recover from the last major war we were in?

That's not an option.

OK, just coming up for air.
W/c 09/03 we doubled our turn over.
W/c 16/03 turn over up 150%
W/c 23/03 so far turn over up 200%. That's for the the week, not the day and a half.

We are coping and will cope, but almost none of our customers are expecting a big rise in the death rate, this is purely in case we close or are forced to close.

What do you do?

It really is the apocalypse if we are down to drinking that.

Italy's count has jumped back up unfortunately, per the BBC:

"Italy has just reported a jump of 743 deaths in the past day - 141 more than Monday.

This brings its death toll up to 6,820."

Funeral supplies.
Coffin interiors and handles.

Are there people in Glasgow with underlying health condition s?

Bugger. That drop was the only good news of yesterday.

A few.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Was probably wishful thinking on my part as my car is also due in 3 weeks...

I got soooo lucky, got mine done yesterday hours before the garage shut

 

[paxtonwolf]

Ah well, after being told this morning we were shut until further notice, just got a phone call to say we're back open tomorrow...so much for lockdown.

Welcome to upsidedown world.

Organised crime, government... Same difference no?

Watch you don't cut yourself on that edge

Infections dropped again. I suspect the death rate is just lagging.

It's easy to say we need more testing though but it's not as if there's dozens of labs sitting round empty or millions of testing kits sitting in warehouses. Hunt was health secretary for 6 years, he's partly responsible for the NHS not being prepared for a crisis.

Being the NHS is also responsible for the NHS not being ready.
