The figures are incomplete. Some of us operate on a basis of "best information." Some of you decide that because the information isn't perfect, whatever arrant lunacy you can dream up must be Da Troof.

Know matter how many times I point out that different countries have different methods of calculating coronavirus deaths and not all are accurate - for example, Italy records all deaths where someone has coronavirus in their system as having died from coronavirus even when they didn't, which means the coronavirus death toll there is likely only a tenth of what is being reported - it just always goes way over your head.

I'm sure you are aware that figures are often manipulated by governments to fit the story line.
Figures are always manipulated by governments. That's a problem only if you are so foolish as to believe government numbers without checking, or so stupid that you think "the government" is a single mind that speaks with a single voice.

Yes, best information, as I said. And as I said, you cast aspersions on disparities in the information, conclude that it's "inaccurate," and then make shit up (whilst quoting numbers you like to support whatever fantasy you've got running in your butthurt. . . well. . . butt).

Well there shouldn't be a lockdown when the number of coronavirus deaths is clearly hugely exaggerated.

Thank you for that excellent demonstration of stupid.
Now folk know what to avoid.

Coronavirus deaths are hugely exaggerated.

In Italy, the number of deaths is thought to be only 12% of the figure we are given.

Germany is a more accurate picture of coronavirus.

The lockdown should end now. If you want to live under fascism, then go and live in North Korea. There's no need to inflict it on the rest of us.

"Is thought to be" is another way of saying "I heard it from this guy."

Are the ladies of the night still out?
I was thinking of checking here in Edmonton, but I was too lazy
In any case, it is getting ridiculous. I stopped by 7-11 when I was out grabbing a few things. They keep all the cups for coffee and slurpees behind the counter, and you have to wear gloves to use the handle.

The prozzies are still out. I was speaking to one of them this evening after work. She shouted down to me from the window of the flat she lives in and she apologised and explained to me why she missed our date on Friday night.

A BIG upgrade. I would not have it any other way.
I never caught HIV, and I will not catch COVID-19.
I am type "O"
Type "O" are less likely to catch the virus than others.
All that sex with filthy women toughened my immune system.
I have a magic eagle feather and holy water.

In Canada the govt currently is and does. You're not allowed to express a different opinion than Dear Leader if you're in his party. And he'll accuse you of engaging in the politics of division if you're not in his party and have a different opinion than the half-witted man-child.


But that's the world of party politics in general. Used to be a time when MPs could vote their conscience. Now they have to toe the party line or else.

Some restaurant in the US is using strippers to deliver food since the strip bars are all closed. :roll: I don't know if they have a name for it but I like to call it, "Meals with Feels".

Poor Canadians. Caught in the EEE-vil clutches of. . . politics as usual.

Carnival Cruise line told Trump, “We can match those big Navy hospital ships with some fully staffed cruise ships.”

GM & Ford said, “Hold our cars, watch this; we can make ventilators where we were making cars by next week.”

Construction companies said, “Here are some masks for the medical staff & doctors.”

Restaurants & schools said, “We’ve got kitchens & staff; we can feed the kids.”

NHL & NBA players are writing checks to pay the arena staff during postponed seasons.

Churches are holding online services & taking care of their members & community.

Women & children are making homemade masks & handing out snacks to truckers.

Breweries are making sanitizer out of the left-over ingredients.

We thought we couldn’t live without baseball, hockey, & NASCAR, or going to beaches, restaurants, or a bar.. Instead, we’re ordering take-out to help keep businesses alive.

What they didn’t count on was America saying, “Hold my beer, watch this.”

I think a Japanese Admiral in the middle of the Pacific said it best in 1941: “I think we have awakened a sleeping giant.”

Give us a little more time & we will be doing much better! Stop listening to the hysterical media.

We are one nation, under God.

God’s got us, & we got this!!!

Don't listen to Anti-Trump trolls that are hurt by COVID-19 but already cashed the check.. Losers
