Yet you dont see the Govt in the UK blaming Boris Johnson for it..just like in Italy they dont blame the Govt for the thousands of deaths, but here in the US we have a communist media that licks Chinas behind and hates Trump with a passion so its all blamed on him instead of the real culprit, China

They’re the country that’s pursued lockdown strategies the most aggressively, I believe. Still, that number is far from enormous.

Rush is on right now making mince meat of a Guardian article on how heartless Orange man is. That paper just may be even more ridiculous than the NYT.

I used to read that rag whilst doing grad work in the UK and I found it leftist, but not yet laughable. Its standards are now - well - below that of the NYT. And folks, we’re talkin’ low, low, low!

I wonder if their doctors are using HCQ. That makes a huge difference.

I was watching The Crown last night—saw the episode where in 1952 some strange poisonous fog/smog descended on London and killed 12,000 people in 5 days. I never knew this.

The episode shows a lot of parallels to today: people running around in masks, hiding inside, Churchill criticized for “no leadership”—he said “It’s just weather; it will go away.” In the end the fog lifted (so he was right) and Queen Elizabeth didn’t remove him after all for being “incapacitated” as she had been urged by the Labour party to do.

Well you don’t see our media blaming Cuomo and Wilhelm for New York.

Look at India, one of the poorest countries in the world..there are millions living in slums, yet the death toll in India has been relatively low, why is that..is it the turmeric, is it the curry, or is it the hydroxy that is made in India..or a combination of all those things

I figure with all the germs there, their immune systems are like steel.

Of course not..imagine the scandal had Cuomo been a Republican and allowed thousands of sick elderly patients who had corona to go back to their nursing homes to infect everyone else, but since its Cuomo not a peep, just goes to show, its OK to kill, rape, etc as long as you have a D next to your name

As with the Fraud and Hussein, “we” would have elected an “Adolf” with a D after WWII if he’d been running against a Republican.

I think it’s a combination. I’m a big believer in Turmeric as an anti inflammatory and I can see where that would aid in fighting this as well as the HCQ.

They should have shut down their power plants, their food plants, their water treatment plants, and their sewage plants. Then, there would be many fewer deaths from WuFlu. The deaths could be from other things: dysentery, starvation, riots, murders, etc. But at least, they would have “flattened the curve!”

It's a communist rag. Not just left-leaning, but genuinely Leninist. It seems preoccupied with U.S. affairs.

Looking at BNO site Death Rate the UK is at 13.45. Spain, Italy, France and UK waited to late until after the virus had spread within their countries to lock down.

Germany lock down early they are at 3.95%. The USA is at 5.66%. South Korea is at 2.27%

Sweden who went with a very low level / relaxed lock down is at 12%.

Very interesting.

Possibly because you're reading the U.S.-specific edition? (There are Australian and US as well as UK editions).

It has to be used with zinc sulfate too, as that slows the replication of the virus. And for good measure, azithromycin — an antibiotic to treat secondary infections, should also be included.

The UK now has the highest death toll in Europe...

and it is Trump's fault!.

It's like Britain being decimated by the Nazis in WWII in the Battle of Britain and Roosevelt is blamed.

So their population is about 68 million with 32,000 deaths and ours is about 320 million with about 63,000 deaths and the Demoncrats want us to believe Pres. Trump has done an awful job containing COVID-19.

Actually you do see them blaming BoJo, just like in Italy and Spain and Brazil blame for their leaders
