That's very interesting Lacey, but how exactly you know this?

 

Were you errmm... acquainted with said equine...?

 

 

I was likening Brit beer to warm horse pee, did not say I was acquainted with it. Bad lad, trying to put words in my mouth.

My Vegemite on toast is waiting. As is my anti-inflammatory medication, which I need after reading TV posts.

 Yesterday,  a newly infected in the US each second! 

 

   And China blooms. isn't that absurd? Or just wanted?

Please take your medication before reading this.

If you want to Know what warm horse pisss tastes like just open a can of Fosters and take a sip, just a sip as it tends to induce projectile vomiting.

 

Last night I bought a loaf of bread straight out of the oven, made by a French baker. I've just finished 3 toasted slices of it, spread with real butter and Marmite. All washed down with cappuchino made from Thai Royal Estate beans. A proper breakfast.

You appear to be very confused - you don't give a damn about others but you're a socialist? Slight contradiction there.

?????????????????????????

Are you saying that Stalin and Mao were not socialists?

Do you think China is telling if it has infected cases?

Yep. Considering China is the origin of the pandemic, it has done remarkably well in containing the disease. A lesson for other countries.

Never a truer word...cannot believe the youth of today cannot appreciate that what they are drinking is rubbish.....give me an uncooled, flat, hoppy beer any day

[jak2002003]

Answer to OP

 

Because the UK has incompetent government, mismanaged and purely run health system, and a large percentage of the population are selfish morons who won't follow rules to help stop the virus spreading and who actually do things to encourage it to spread.

Ah, the ignorance of youth. You drink Fosters COLD, chilled to 4 degrees C. Perhaps you should try drinking British beer at that temperature, and have some pity on your taste buds.

You enjoyed bread cooked by a French baker? Thanks for proving my point Brits are unable to cook food, apart from a few celebrity chefs who got their training elsewhere. The potty mouths they were born with.

I'm sure there is a topic somewhere out there we are supposed to be following, just a minute while I get my long-distance glasses.

Even I can make Anzac biscuits from an internet recipe, it's not rocket science.

Psychopaths don whatever political cloak suits them at their time. There's a modern-day lesson right in front of us, between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans..

Yes. Authoritarian regimes are good. 24/7 surveillance is good. Cops in Hazmat suits breaking down your door is goooood.

The whole of Europe forecast this second wave months ago and it appeared right on cue.

 

Effectively a foregone certainty with people starting to spend their time indoors and educational establishments opening up again, hardly crystal ball material.

[huangnon]

^Yup. Autumn turning into Winter, and people start getting normal corona-viruses, e.g.;  colds, flu's, coughs, etc. All turning up as false positives for the totally useless Covid-19 "testing" procedure.

Almost 600 people A DAY dying last few days. 

 

That is just horrific.

What's the average age of the people who die?

 

That, will give you a clue, as to why these "idiots" think as they do.

In the article I am linking the total deaths in the UK mid 2017 to mid 2018 were 623,000, which works out at 706.85 per day using my calculator. Tell me if it's wrong.

The UK has progressively been getting fatter and fatter in what seems like an attempt to catch up to the USA as the king of fatness.

[AmySeeker]

Only the UK can see an increase in cases when in lockdown. 

 

33,500 cases today !!! This is up from yesterdays 22,000. A near 50% increase !!!

 

This despite a lockdown, and on top of that local lockdowns that have been going on for weeks/months in some regions !

 

Figures are insane, and another 563 deaths. How are people just okay with this ?

 

By comparisson Australia which suffered badly during the first wave has now gone 13 days without a single case in the community. India has seen covid rates fall by 60% (and testing on mass). What on earth is going on over there ?!
