Curious Cook: Restaurants and Covid-19


Outdoor dining is a better option that minimises the risk of getting Covid-19 as there is more ventilation. — AP

When I left for the UK over three weeks ago, the number of Covid-19 deaths in my village was zero. On my return, I learned three people have died from the disease. In a village with a population of 650 people, this equates to a death rate of 0.46%.

Comparing this with France’s rate of 0.048%, it means my village’s death rate is technically 9.59 times higher than the national rate, though to be fair, such statistics do not mean much with such a small distribution as a tiny village’s population.
