Sorry but how have China got the balls to keep lying about their daily death rates lol

saw something elsewhere earlier about big riots over there in the past few days, no idea if it was true (it was from an anti-CCP twitter feed)

The government is central to what is going on, or more like the damaging mistakes they're making that is costing lives, and making the work of front line staff harder to do their jobs.. But it appear some don't want to hear how much of a dangerous cock up this government is making.

And they are putting the clocks forward tonight,would think they have more important things to do.

Oh, and as I said the other day, the horrible mutants who went out on the last on that Friday when the lockdown was announced all need a solid punch in the face.

My missus went to Morrissons this morning and she got everything on her normal weekly shop apart from pasta.

It is easy to forget stuff in the current climate.

Am I the only one confused by this tracking and being 14, 15 or 16 days behind Italy stuff? As in is it good, or bad?

I dont think we really know. I dont think it's a good guide.

But the trend of the last three days is bad. Today's figures are very bad. But we are finally beginning to test more so that's probably expected.

Be at least another week before we can judge the impact of the measures introduced last Monday.

Put simply, in a direct comparison, the total death rate in Italy 16 days ago correlates with our total death rate now.

However, we've jump 260 in one day, while Italy at the same stage were jumping 200 approx. in one day, so we're ahead of Italy on that metric. But overall we're 15/16 days behind Italy.

I'm the same, we were 14 days behind Italy, then it was 16, now we're 15 days.

Where are Spain at mate ?
Are they ahead or behind Italy as they seem to be really bad.

Is putting the clocks forward an onerous task?

So we're 16 days away from having 900 deaths a day?
