Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

That slide on global deaths and the curve is a lie. Apart from the US, every European country includes those that have died in care homes and at home. The UK is next to the US for deaths in hospital. France, Spain and Italy have between 45% and 55% deaths occurring not in hospitals.

Yeah, and JVT said just that, and that the data was being collected.

Imagine being told by a Tory Health Minister or Tory witch doctor there's a vaccine they want to trial afater hearing 30% of their testing kits are dodgy?

You'd run a 'kin mile.

HanCOCK and his two Dr Mengele's flanking him.

You can be an absolute tool at times mate.

Just at times?

Well, you're giving me anecdotal evidence of a handful of people known to you. I;d say the data doesn't back that up...unless, unbeknown, the Czechs went some other South Korean type route to get their success.

Anecdotes are all either of us have for that part of the world.

The Scientist said that the graph showing the middle group of European Countries, France etc, is only showing deaths in hospital, so not sure where you are getting your data from....

As if these nurses aren't coping with enough right now, the invented outrage from these right wing weapons is truly disturbing

Only at times ?.......lol

Well he managed to win an overwhelming majority and become PM. In my whole life I can only think of two Labour leaders to have done similar....

This isn't a party politics thing Pete. It's a competence thing. He won an overwhelming majority against the weakest opponent imaginable.

Why do you regard him as a big beast? What, in his career, has especially impressed you about his leadership, or any other skills? Would you hire him?

It's crazy that there have only been 11 deaths for those below the age of 45 in the UK. At the moment, this thing is no more deadly than a bad flu.

He did a decent job as London Mayor I understand....but best ask our London posters...

I think France have started adding them in the last couple of weeks mate, hence their numbers have jumped radically - they didn't initially. They have appeared in some studies done in the last few days detailing a 40-50%, in Italy, Spain, France, Belgium and Ireland showing 43-57% of all virus deaths are in nursing homes and or other community settings as an European average.

Half of coronavirus deaths happen in care homes, data from EU suggests

Figures from Italy, Spain, France, Ireland and Belgium suggest UK may be underestimating care sector deaths

There's been more than that
