Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
Maybe the Socratic method only works on Greeks. To reconcile your assertion that the increase in food bank usage only began after the onset of the pandemic with the evidence from the graph I presented, would mean that the pandemic began in 2008 since food bank usage increased every year from that date until 2021-2022. -

But the claims of bias are used as a reason for people not to trust the guardian even when it's reporting the facts. -

But the bias isn't the important thing. On the basis of fact reporting and analysis, they were judged to be reliable. So when someone claims the guardian is lying about the facts, it's pretty like that they are right wing cranks. -
You think that loons are underrepresented in the Republican Party? Really?

I'm not sure what you mean by numerous, but it's indisputable you've made posts with no links and persisted in defending them without invoking objectively confirmable links to defend them. -

But your alleged experiences have zero probative value. Even if your experiences are scrupulously accurate, still no probative value. It's not like there's a lack of objectively confirmable evidence out there. Instead you prefer to make it personal. -

Well, here's a notice about lorry drivers needing covid tests. But it's for all lorry drivers, not just those from the UK. So since all drivers are required to get a test, the UK is not suffering any more of a burden than any other country's drivers. https://trans.info/en/covid-tests-for-hgv-drivers-border-requirements-and-test-centres-in-europe-223742 -
And if they were polled again, given Musk's lies about banning, they should say the same.

Which explains the vacuity of comments such as yours above. -

Or, to put it another way: "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source." -

Wow, that's even more believable. Which I didn't think was possible. You send links to articles you haven't read but are counting on to back up the points you raise? Who could doubt that? And you've been doing that all along, have you? -
Measles resurgent worldwide following lockdowns

Apart from common decency, which, to judge from this sentence, is a condition that you apparently you are not afflicted with, pandemics can take a big toll on the economy and affect access to medical care. -
What did it tell you that Musk didn't pursue the course you recommended? Possibly that he didn't have a case and advice such as yours was useless?

Buffalo blizzard: Storm turns city into 'war zone'
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
Very impressive display. A hypothesis has been proposed amona climatologists that ascribes the divagations of the polar vortex to the decreasing temperature differential between the arctic regions and further south. And all you've got is "Weather patterns caused by the movement of the Jet streams have nothing to do with Global warming." It's undeniable that the polar regions are warming faster than elsewhere on the planet. So please share with us why this temperature differential is irrelevant. As for single events to climate change, I don't know about "climate change idiots" although perhaps that's a fair term for deniers of human-caused climate change although "ignoramuses" might be a better term, but climatologists don't ascribe any one event to climate change. What they do note are trends such as increasing frequency or increasing severity or both that correlate with the rise of greenhouse gases. Can you share with us your data that shows no such trends and correlations exist? I await your exposition with eagerness and interest. -
Covid is rife in China as the tourists set off !
placeholder replied to TorquayFan's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Maybe "relatively mild" because in most of the world people have either been vaccinated or infected or both. Not so much the case in China. China's emergency services 'overwhelmed' as COVID-19 wave sweeps country As China grapples with its first-ever national COVID-19 wave, emergency wards in small cities and towns southwest of Beijing are stunned as they attempt to reel with the massive influx of critical cases. Emergency rooms are turning away ambulances, relatives of sick people are searching for open beds, and patients are slumped on benches in hospital corridors and lying on floors for lack of beds. In more than three decades of emergency medicine, Beijing-based doctor Howard Bernstein said, he has never seen anything like this. https://www.euronews.com/2022/12/26/chinas-emergency-services-overwhelmed-as-covid-19-wave-sweeps-country
