You are trying too hard so it becomes obvious what you are up to. Your back catalogue should be enough for people to understand your mentality we don't need regular reminders!
Are you trying to tell me that even CBS are part of the Fake News media? I thought it was only the media outlets who you regularly quote from. Oh well, another one to add to the list!Quote:

This made me genuinely gasp, let's all hope it is a complete load of rubbish.
Edit/ I don't think it has taken into account our increase in ICU capacity with the temporary hospitals.
That graph is predicting 3000 deaths a day. We are nowhere near that. It'sd crazy!Quote:

No deliveries yet under EU equipment scheme

In late February, the European Union launched a plan to buy equipment to tackle the coronavirus outbreak on behalf of its members.
It was aimed at reducing costs when negotiating with manufacturers.
The first scheme involved buying masks and then, in March, three more schemes were added to purchase ventilators, testing kits and personal protective equipment.
But, to date, nothing has been bought and delivered.
European Commission spokesman Stefan De Keersmaecker says that while some of the suppliers that the EU selected have signed contracts, other have not.
The UK did not join the scheme, although it was able to participate because it is still in the Brexit transition period until 31 December 2020. It wasn’t clear at the time whether the government had missed the deadline to join or it did not want to take part.

It doesn't mean that it's not going to come to fruition though does it ?Quote:

Submitting to medical science, in the hope of a cure, is just that – a submission. The idea that illness is a character test, with recovery as a reward for the valiant, is glib to the point of insult.”

The UK government has said it remains “absolutely committed” to Brexit negotiations and the December 2020 transition date despite the coronavirus outbreak limiting talks between the two sides.
If a deal is not reached by then, Britain will crash out of its transition agreement with the bloc onto World Trade Organization terms. This means tariffs will be higher in a number of areas.
