(He didnt win the title because he didn't learn from Napoleons mistakes)
That said you are also correct .
I catch a snippet on the news and they say " a cure for the virus could be 2 years away " the magic word in that sentence is "could"
Its not news , its someone trying to be dramatic , see how many people they can frighten.
Bur people repeat it , as if its a fact now.

The magic word in every scare story that BBC has been putting out is the same "could" and its not just the BBC.

The magic word in every scare story that BBC has been putting out is the same "could" and its not just the BBC.

The BBC are a disgrace, although they're only following the trend in sensationalist journalism that seems the norm, especially on TV. Could you imagine if we were at War or if a disaster like Aberfan happened in todays 24 hour news climate? The reporters are like actors, putting on a theatrical face and leaving the punters hanging on (tune in next time) like it's a bloody soap opera. I don't bother watching it anymore.
