37 deaths, 1414 new cases in #Covid19Cymru official days We're back to April figures here.
Weekend rebounds in death figures often happen on a Wednesday rather than a Tuesday in my experience, but even so today's figure is shocking.
Who's still saying the lockdown is wrong? Get real.

In brief, gov #propaganda says: “tariff-free sauce from Japan thanks to trade deal”. Critics respond: “it already is tariff-free, thanks to #EU-Japan trade deal”

#Soy sauce brag backfires on #Britain's trade ministry

Britain's trade ministry was forced on Wednesday to clarify a claim that a trade deal with #Japan would result in lower prices on #tariff-free soy sauce after critics highlighted that a no-deal #Brexit could in fact drive consumer prices up.

@davidoclubb I hope this catches on. Let's boot the #ad industry out of our cities, out of our lives, out of our minds for good. The sooner the better.

44: Carmarthenshire. That's high for the second day, suggesting yesterday's 72 was not a blip. That's quite a turnaround, as they (even with Llanelli's problems) had been doing not so badly until very recently.

Panorama from Merthyr bus station. Shame the second attempt wasn't as good as this one!

If you live in the U.S., please consider joining me on the bone marrow donor list. Most donations only require a simple blood draw. If you work in New York, the state must give you time off for donations. Non white folks have a lower chance of finding a match so please consider signing up if you are also not white. You submit a simple check swab and that's it. Bethematch.com for more info.

What are the good Free Software blogs out there nowadays? I'm trying to keep my feed reeder populated with things worth reading.

Ideally, their feeds should be full articles, not just excerpts.
