What I don't understand is why either of them are required to perform ordinary day to day living type activities. It's all gone mad hasn't it. Where does it end? Do we eventually get about a dozen people running every single service we might ever need? I believe that’s what they are aiming for.

That looks like fun.
This Trump character is an interesting specimen. He seems to know what he's doing and above all has his finger on the pulse of the 'merkin people.

Trump seems to know something we don't especially as he has pulled funding from WHO.
The trouble is he is only the 3rd most powerful person below Putin and Xi Jinping. Makes you wonder what they know?

Makes you wonder what they know? Trump is in trouble for saying earlier in the year that there was nothing to worry about etc. Now it’s all gone wrong for him and an election coming up, so he desperately needs to show it was not his fault he was mislead or acted too slowly. Thus - WHO spread inaccurate information from China China lied it was the Democrats fault it was Obama The state governors should have managed it better. Nothing to do with me, but now I will take charge (where it looks good).

In USA they collect the death data on a daily basis then plot the graph. i suspect in some countries they first draw the graph and then read off the figures from the graph day by day. That way there are no unpleasant surprises.

It's a bit odd looking at the worldometers site as the UK has n/a for number of recoveries. None of the other data has a n/a in it anywhere. Strange

Probably a rhetorical question, but in case it wasn’t - Just hospital deaths excluding care homes etc as they are not normally tested to confirm, though we all know lots are dying. The ONS (Gvt stats office) is starting to produce figures including community deaths but the system is apparently very slow to submit data.

Strange Perhaps the tactic is just to give us the bad news so we stay at home in fear and guilt. It's certainly the message we keep being bombarded with by our media and now we're doing it to eachother through social media. I don't know how long that will work before people start to notice that more and more other countries are starting to lift lockdowns.

Greedy money-grabbing 'Lords'. Sucking the nation dry. "Peers are demanding their daily £323 'attendance' stipend while attending their virtual Lords proceedings on grounds of age discrimination. Peers are not salaried, but they receive a tax-free income of £323 per day for attendance in the chamber - up from £313 at the start of April. A member attending the 150 days the Lords usually gathers each year can expect an annual a tax-free income of more than £48,000." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8232107/Peers-demand-daily-323-attendance-fee-log-virtual-Lords.html

The ONS (Gvt stats office) is starting to produce figures including community deaths but the system is apparently very slow to submit data. Yes, it was a bit rhetorical. As regards care home deaths, as you say we don't know as they aren't normally tested so we cant tell how much Covid-19 had an effect compared with stress causing early heart attacks and lowered immunity etc. In fact we don't really know to what degree Covid-19 has an effect in any death as it's usually a complication adding to a preexisting condition. It is really difficult to draw any conclusions without random testing. I think when we look back on this people will wonder why we didn't carry out some random testing from the start. Iceland for one did and they seem to have controlled things quite well.
