I am seeing 37,000 as a total. Is this number correct? UK, is already number two. But that is an extraordinary number. Of course nowhere near the crazy US numbers. But, they are the world leaders!

You have to bring the total number in a relation to the number of citizens. Then Belgium is the worst country, Spain 2nd and the UK 3rd. The US are not in the top 10.

Belgium counts NOT only those, who died in a hospital after a corona tests, but also all - especially in care homes for elderly - who for nealty sure died because of corona, so a LOT more honest. See my previous posting # 38

412 deaths today . Up 300 from two days ago. Mainly in England off course. 
 

Just as you would expect to see , a couple of weeks after the ease in lockdown we are now climbing in deaths again. When shops open on June 15th maybe we can even get back up to 1000 a day ...

 

I give up.

Both Johnson and Trump have done a lousy job in this emergency. The Cummings thing is way overblown....he's a senior person in the government ordinary laws don't apply to him as we see every day on all countries around the world. He caused no one any harm, so get over your selves and let him get on with his job.

How can DC "get on with his job" As a senior adviser to the British Government he must have integrity and trustworthy attitude/performance to help lead. He has niether the snake in the grass.

Cummings evil influence has wrecked the UK's economy by lying to the UK's gullible electorate throughout referendum and general election to foist a puppet on the public that he controls. He advised on 'Herd Immunity' and delayed lockdown. He illegaly  prorogued Parliament. He infected the Cabinet then ran away illegaly to avoid the consequences several times. This man should be locked up to avoid any further damage to the UK

I spotted nine lies in this post.Can anyone improve on this score?

So you don't think the real PM is Cummings?

 

this article is just plain inaccurate, it has been up for over two days, is there no one checking even the most basic of facts?!

 

it's posted by 'newsteam', it's not news, it's fiction.

Thailand only has 50 deaths and they are already paranoid.

Unless you have proofs of many deaths in hospitals, countless coffins and funerals, busy hospitals etc.

 

Nowadays, it isn't difficult to videotape this as everyone has a camera nowadays.

 

So they are not 'hiding something'. There are lots of people who don't want to believe in the figures of other countries for obvious reasons.

Governments can only do so much, the attitude and acceptance of the nation is also key to keeping the death rate down

Nope , don't  believe it, Thais cant social distance to save their  lives,  in fact Ive seen no change at  all by me except when one day no one had masks and the next  they did BUT this was  still way after it was  well  known about the virus being in Thailand and then there's the way they  have them up and down continually. Something is making Thailand and surrounding countries less amenable to Cv19's spread.

'Almost certainly died' (from the virus).

Writing and speaking correctly in a language that is not your mother tongue ain't easy.

A lot of Brits never get beyond English 101.

I came across this article today an immediately thought back to this post.

 

A Brief History of 'Lügenpresse,' the Nazi-era Predecessor to Trump's 'Fake News'

Originally coined by the German author Reinhold Anton in 1914, the term Lügenpresse was used during World War I to refer to “enemy propaganda.” Some 30 years later Hitler and the Nazis appropriated the term to weaken opposition to the regime, primarily “accusing” Jewish, communist, and later the foreign press of disseminating fake news.

italy dont disclose their deaths in care homes theyre kept secret  so sure surpass many others..

Andrew Neil disagrees with you.

 

 

There is no national figure in Italy for deaths in care homes - the numbers are collated on a regional basis and slightly different measures are being used in different parts of the country.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/52530918

But, says Eleonora Perobelli, a researcher at the Observatory on Long Term Care in Milan, "the vast majority of officially confirmed Covid-19 related deaths are registered in hospitals".

We do know that the UK figures as of 5 May include more than 4,600 people who died "in a community setting'"- in other words outside hospital. We also know that there were relatively few tests carried out in care homes until recently.

But in Italy, we simply don't know how many of the Italian deaths may have occurred outside hospital.

So it is difficult in this case to be confident that we really are comparing like with like.
