The USA has a population of, around, 331 million. A thousand deaths per day does not sound too shabby given those stats. I am not trying to negate what is going on, my views have changed from the start of all of this but we all need to recognise that the death rate, although high, has to be put into perspective. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In terms of intensity, Italy, Spain, the UK and France (and Belgium) were doing worse. And the other population rich countries, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria they don't diagnose as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,580 Posted May 20, 2020 Brazil's figures are more unreliable than the USA through - with more deaths at home for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torbrexbones 717 Posted May 23, 2020 India, Bangladesh and Pakistan's infected numbers have been rising slowly every day, I wonder if it is a trend or just due to high testing levels. They don't seem to be getting the same levels of death as there was in Europe and USA, warmer weather perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte's Controller 195 Posted May 23, 2020 Changing the subject, Dominic Cummings was not a threat to the UK population through Coronovirus transmission unless he was to wipe out his own family and the Sage team (and even then probably not that big a threat). The media need to get a grip and focus on what is important, grammar, numeracy , intelligent analysis, and a proper review of the facts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The media are widely ignoring this story if you compare coverage of this to lockdown professor. Cummings is as bad, having broke his own governments lockdown advise and should resign. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, in effect, he did a 400 plus mile round trip without stopping anywhere on the way and, potentially, spreading the virus to petrol station workers and the like? That would be bull shit. What he did was wrong, he had other members of his family who could have stepped in. Even if it was not 'illegal' it was immoral. Cummings is a cunt of the first order and a Svengali. Boris appears to be completely under his control to the point that it appears to be Cummings running the country and not him. We really need him gone and Boris to follow, the country cannot afford to have them in full charge. Cummings needs to be goings. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have I got it right - he drove a person infected with Covid-19 (namely his wife) 260 miles across the country? Not just himself? Come on. That's outrageous. It cannot be defended. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's outrageous. It cannot be defended. Either he or his wife had it, not sure which. Drove the wife and kid from London to Durham to stay with his parents, coincidentally round the time of his mums birthday. Defence is he needed help with child care but ignores the fact the kid had an aunt living in London for that. Meanwhile there are thousands of people in the UK who couldn't even say goodbye to parents or kids who died thanks to the rules this guy helped set up. He's a cunt and Boris and Raab and the rest of them are cunts for defending him. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
