Above is a microcosm of why “the left” is broken.
"Socialists" in 2020 are just guys who want to make sure women hear how morally superior they are to others because they "care" about their common man.
The Socialist Republic of Vietnam would like to remind you that deep down, we are all socialist.
Phonics going around telling people what they are, and are not, is lol.
Dreadful questions from Kuenssberg
We've acquired "a lot" of the tests but don't want to release them before we establish the accuracy of them. Should we not have established the accuracy of them before we acquired "a lot" of them?
I guess you’d have to go on trust (whoever is making them will presumably be producing some sort of evidence that they work) and no matter what we’d want to test them ourselves anyway. But yeah, please work.
It does sound like they think the numbers of asymptomatic people might be quite big.
lol
The Sky News ticker just alerted me the existence of a man named Steven Dick, the 'Deputy Head of Mission' for us in Hungary and I was momentarily living for the moment he was promoted. The rest of the ticker then informed me that he'd just died of Corona. It's gone too far now.
And now there's a UN bod on named Mark Lowcock. Big day for priapic names.
Dick Pound must be shitting himself.
I don't think that's one of the symptoms.
37 as well.
lol
3 days to kill him? Was he already in ICU when he said that?
Yeah, I'm calling bullshit.
J.League plan to restart their season on May 9th.

Our numbers today are a bit on the thin side, I guess Boris really has sent it packing?
Have we announced any? I've not seen owt from England yet.
Trump showing why successful business men don't make successful politicians. It should be life's first economy later.
You've changed your tune mister some other company will have my workers.
I’ve avoided the news all day and now I feel too relaxed about all this.
I saw a guy on another forum claiming he is in Milan and how it is still really bad and they are talking about the lockdown lasting until at least July, imploring people to stay in (the majority of that forum's users are yanks so it was more about their inaction so far).
13 deaths in the UK has to be some sort of piss-take.
Does Scotland class being over fifty as an underlying health condition?
And the English votes are in. 28.
We’re in lockdown now until 19.4. We as in the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area. Interesting times.
We're pissing this. I'll see you in Sports Direct first thing Monday morning.
Shit to still have 41 dead but every day like this keeps us a bit further behind the Italy trajectory with measures now in place. There is at least reason to hope our peak won’t be as high as they’re reporting.
But didn't we put those measures in to place after Italy at the same point? Wasn't our approach the DO NOTHING for far longer than Italy?
What are they reporting our peak will be? As I said the other day, based on Italy numbers stabilising/falling already I can't see how we'd have got close to 250,000 deaths, even if we'd actively encouraged it to run riot. And what do they think Italy's will be for that matter?
Not suggesting we should have let it run riot either.
They’re going for maximum 20k, possibly substantially less, according the the professor behind the Imperial College modelling. Which is the same modelling that had us hitting that 250k if we did fuck all. That 20k will be the total though, so not the peak, which they reckon is a couple of weeks away.
Again, 20k is is less than half the excess deaths in our worst recent flu season. There’s no comparison because of the action we’re having to take to (hopefully) keep the numbers as low as that. And we will still be opening and closing for ages yet. But it might not end up being anything like as bad as feared.
The Telegraph reported that twenty thousand with two thirds of them would have died this year anyway, presumably just so niko could bask in it.
Hang on a second, doesn't it take weeks to see the benefits of any action? Don't throw the towel in yet lads. You might still get your mass death. Also, let's not be crediting 'action taken' with any palpable 'results' at this stage either. Two weeks ago we weren't even thinking about sailing the oceans or whatever the term is.
