We don’t have fewer deaths, France counts care homes and we don’t. On an even measure we’re ahead of them.
I'm not sure what metrics you're using to come to that conclusion.....France have more deaths, more cases, more critical cases & less testing.....
....I'd say were both doing pretty shit....but France are marginally shitter....

Yes, I've just read that they've included care home figures....BUT only since 5th April...but they do have thousands more critical cases in hospitals & less testing....so in order to not split any more hairs, lets agree both countries are not doing a very good job
I still think it’s far too early to rank countries TBF. Lots of analysis to be done once it’s all over and extra waves are done.
Is that data there for usYes, I've just read that they've included care home figures....BUT only since 5th April...but they do have thousands more critical cases in hospitals & less testing....so in order to not split any more hairs, lets agree both countries are not doing a very good job

IE critical cases?
The article explains the reasons why UK and Ireland are very similar - islands, similar underfunded NHS funding systems similar ICU spaces etc.Oh agree totally.....I was just backing Maccas claim that a better comparison for the UK would be France as opposed to Ireland

The big difference is the cases and deaths have started reducing in France. And Macron has admitted that they could have handled the situation much better. Can you see Boris making such an admission? We are still not being strict enough.I'm not sure what metrics you're using to come to that conclusion.....France have more deaths, more cases, more critical cases & less testing.....

I just got it from the site below wingy.....France over 6.5K vs. UK at around 1.5K critical cases
Coronavirus Update (Live): 2,008,251 Cases and 127,168 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer

In Holland they're all 'hairdressers' I'm told. Ask where you can buy drugs and you'll be directed to the nearest hair salon. The local poilce are apparently 'oblivious' to this activity which has earned them a lot of derision.
Are you saying Macron has admitted that they could have handled the situation much better so people will suddenly like him?He made the admission as before this virus his popularity was through the floor - let’s not kid ourselves here this virus and the ensuing all in together spirit is helping save his neck
Yeah. Have you seen the amount of barbers down FGS? That's a lot of men needing a haircut in such a small area.....
Maybe it isn't such a small area that needs trimming as they get more than the hair on their head trimmed.Yeah. Have you seen the amount of barbers down FGS? That's a lot of men needing a haircut in such a small area.....
back in work today. Got an e-mail yesterday to say I've been taken off furlough.
This contradicts the original furlough guidelines I was given but apparently they've changed so as far as works concerned I'm expecting to be in out like a violinists elbow for the next few weeks.
I want G for our next PM. Otherwise we will struggle to find a replacement for Boris.But,but..... G said the furlough scheme was absolutely crystal clear in the guidelines and couldn't/wouldn't be changed.....
Tory constituency and surrounds impacted by flooding require economic shot in the arm.To think it’s only a month since The Cheltenham Festival.
Hehe.Maybe it isn't such a small area that needs trimming as they get more than the hair on their head trimmed.
But,but..... G said the furlough scheme was absolutely crystal clear in the guidelines and couldn't/wouldn't be changed.....
How critical does it need to beMy barber was complaining about this. People coming in with no skills because it’s easy to claim on immigration you’re a hairdresser apparently. Though he can be a bit Brexity so take that with a pinch of salt.
The UK doesn't keep the list of critical cases up to date, that will be a snapshot from a date recently. It was 163 for quite a while so had increased nearly 10 fold.

Did the Irish not travel to Cheltenham this year?To think it’s only a month since The Cheltenham Festival.
Fair enough FP, I don't doubt it.
Thats all we've got really isn't it?...snapshots with a varying degree of lag.....I even warned about the veracity of all the figures myself on a post a few days ago....yet here I am, referring to them....doh!
Fair play JHFC, that's why I made the query .Fair enough FP, I don't doubt it.

My experiences of Cheltenham (work and play) were of huge numbers coming over for the Festival.
In fairness to Grendel this looks like clint's employer changing their mind, not the scheme changing.
I have no doubt that Trump will be the one leader when balancing the scales of Jobs and public health will go the jobs line unless he’s stopped. He knows his voters will be there if he can prove he’s got people back to work. The American guy on here is not alone with his views on trump despite his increased erratic behaviour. He’s now resembling the fictional character Greg Stilson more and more
It will be interesting how far trump will go with Biden given some of the more outlandish rumours about Biden on the net
What’s indisputable is that Biden is in major cognitive decline if not worse. There are allegations of sexual assault as well which need investigating but based on how he behaves in public it’s not unbelievable. That and with Biden doing even worse on voter enthusiasm than Hillary I think the orange man would need this disease to kill millions for him to lose
I agree. Can't believe Biden is going to be the opposition - what on earth happened to see him jump in the ratings so quickly? There was part of me wondering if it was Rep's voting to choose a weaker candidate. Trump will tear him apart in debates. I really can't see Trump losing to him.
