Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
So what is the point in taking the test? Trump goes on and on about tests, "we have the best tests, the most tests, the most modern tests on the planet" but it doesn't discriminate what disease you have. If you have any one of the diseases listed, they mark it as Covid 19. It is stupid.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
Thanks a lot lockdowners:
The number of people claiming unemployment benefit in the UK soared to 2.1 million in April, the first full month of the coronavirus lockdown.
The total jumped by 856,500, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
Before the lockdown began, employment had hit a record high.
The government has made some changes to who can claim work-related benefits during the pandemic, but this figure is one of a series that show the stress Covid-19 is putting on the jobs market.
In another indication of the bleak employment landscape, the number of job vacancies fell by nearly a quarter to 637,000 in the three months to April.
Meanwhile, claims for Universal Credit - the benefit for working-age people in the UK - hit a record monthly level in the early weeks of lockdown.
But the labour market is set to worsen, according to politicians and analysts, with Therese Coffey, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, telling the BBC on Tuesday that the unemployment rate was likely "to increase significantly".
According to separate research by the Resolution Foundation, young people are most likely to have lost work or seen their income drop because of the coronavirus pandemic.
More than one in three 18 to 24-year-olds is earning less than before the outbreak, the research indicated.
It said younger workers risk their pay being affected for years, while older staff may end up involuntarily retired.
Separate ONS figures showed UK unemployment rose by 50,000 to 1.35 million in the three months to March.
The unemployment rate was estimated at 3.9%, slightly down on the previous quarter, the ONS said.
The jobless figures only cover the first week of the lockdown and they are expected to worsen sharply in the coming months.
Jagjit Chadha, director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, told the BBC: "We can reasonably expect unemployment to rise very quickly to something over 10% - something we haven't seen since the early 1990s."

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
Funny thing about your post is that the US committed $9 Billion for the same relief, so much for your China good Trump bad narrative.
The international community is taking Xi's pledge for what it is
China also attached conditions to the inquiry, it has to be conducted by the WHO
You can find more in this Canadian Press release Hoid
WHO bows to calls from countries for independent virus probe

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
So it's bad you get tested as sick and have to self isolate for two weeks?

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
Funny thing, nonwhite races are pissed at Chinese too and China is losing out huge in markets. They have financial issues and middle class revolt on the rise.
Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
Well why wouldn't they?
China created this mess so it should be criticised for it
I fail to see what skin colour has to do with it.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
It was created in the US and exported to China like everything else. The US built the disease control lab in Wuhan. It is Karma that they have the most cases and most deaths from something they created, no?
Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
No, it wasn't.
And the US hadn't got the most cases and most deaths. China has.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
The lab in Wuhan also has strong ties with the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'
I posted this before but I'm not sure anyone noticed it so I'll do it again.
Btw, this guy is very good at sourcing his videos.
Did SARS-Cov-2 start in a Chinese lab?
