Don't think he's very bright. Certainly seems easily led.

Wouldn't be much different for the players than a World Cup campaign really, a month living and playing elsewhere. But as no foreigners (or at least non-resident foreigners) are permitted to enter Oz at the moment it's probably a non-starter. They've almost wiped out Covid 19 there and certainly won't be keen on it starting up again.

Oh I think there'll still be relegation alright, I mean the PL will want Leeds and even West Brom back in the top flight rather than say Norwich or Bournemouth. Unless there's a 22 team PL next season and say no League Cup or something.

Probably a far less industrialised nation. A sixth of the UK's population in about half of the UK's surface area. Think their lockdown was pretty strict as well.

Might help him if he stuck to lying and cheating instead of spouting bolloaks all of the time. He'd be better off saying nothing at all really.

Right, somehow they managed to have very few cases, didn't make 100 until about mid-march. Perhaps the strain that they had/have is less contagious. Is it hot and humid in Taiwan ?

Didn't Taiwan shut themselves off completely very early on? Plus they'd learnt something from the SARS outbreak in 2002/3. Britain and the rest of the world might have fared better if the borders had been closed completely early on, it's just a hypothesis though.

And even then there's no guarantee that there will be herd immunity for this virus. There isn't for the common cold and the flu is there. The latest observations are casting doubt on any long terms immunity whatsoever, then again it's the WHO. Most of Sweden's cases are in the big cities, Stockholm, Malmo etc. I think they make up about half of Swden's population so 18000 odd cases and 2150 deaths aren't a great advert for 5 million or so people. Translate that to the UK's 68 million or so and you'd have 27000 or so deaths and about 250000 cases. Death rate is still the same over 10% of diagnosed cases.

None of the several allegations stopped Trump winning, anyway 1993 seriously? Clinton is difficult to explain, perhaps yer average backwoods american just wouldn't vote for a woman and thus she lost Wisconsin, Michigan etc against all odds. Warren was probably a better candidate than Biden, favourite at one time I believe but people just didn't vote for her in the primaries.

If ? How can he not win ? The only way that he won't is that for some reason he isn't the democratic candidate. He could run his campaign in Urdu and still win.Unless of course the opposition isn't Trump. Perhaps the GOP grandees will soon see that he just cannot win and that they'll lose the senate as well.

Germany has more cases although their population is greater, they seemed to have managed the death toll better though. Perhaps it's something to do with the make-up of thier population or the strain of the virus most commonly found there.

Why so? Because I think that what you call your lockdown is lightweight? I see the results that are published in the daily briefings and I know that the situation isn't getting very much better. Most of the other badly affected countries are all on the downwrd slope because their lockdowns were far more severe and enforced.

Well you'd have to vote for whoever has a better option for vice-president wouldn't you. Doubt if either of the old guys would still be in power in 2024.

Agreed, football in particular and sport in general have replaced religion as the opium of the people and without it well...... Not that the bishops and mollahs and what have you aren't kicking up because they can't fleece their flocks either. The UK needed a severe lockdown for 6 to 8 weeks but instead implemented a girly version that the populace were capable of accepting. That's why you still have the highest daily rate of new cases and deaths in Europe.

He seems to think (or is being told) he has to take on a female vice president who'll probably become America's first female president before 2024. Biden won't last 4 years.

Stands to reason. He'll be 78 if he gets elected and he's already showing some signs of senility apparently. So at the end of his term at 82 (if he ever get's that far) he'll be a vegetable likely as not and people will be telling him what to do.

Well I was thinking more of his family advisers actually, Ivanka, Don Jr and Jared. Hasn't sacked any of those yet has he?

Both silly old buffers who'll get pushed around by their unscrupulous advisers.

30-40% you say, try somewhere between 8 and 10 % and the signs are that there is no automatic long-term immunity.

I'm quite surprised that the Republicans didn't oust Trump a couple of years back. They might have had a chance in November but the bloke is obviously a megalomaniac nutter. Biden shouldn't be president either, he'll just get pushed around by the leftist loonies.

Spot on, you haven't reduced the number of new cases and deaths by anywhere near enough as of yet. If anything restrictions in the UK need to be tightened and not relaxed .

Wasn't his trip to the Caribbean somewhere around Christmas-New Year ? Think the Chinese were still denying just about everything back then.

I've mentioned the CDG cases elsewhere. Don't know how they figure that using 1700 extremely fit young people as a model for a nation that has it's fair share of very old, very ill and very fat people can offer any significant information. The trouble with the CDG is twofold..the indiscipline and the planes that came from a viral hotspot. Still if you expect a bunch of 20 something sailors not to hit the town, even if you tell them not to, after a couple of months in the eastern med then you're just asking for trouble really.

Don't know, there seem to be an awful lot of multiple tests, over 100,000.

Won't happen although it may well be "recommended". Would be challenged in the courts and deemed unconstitutional as likely as not.
