    correct- it’s a very strange System. Only hospital deaths reported. Lord knows when they factor in the non hospital deaths. I see Luton had 10 deaths in a care home today.....I suspect that’s happening a lot

    The ONS figures include all deaths, but they run about a week behind the Public Health numbers.

    Well it’s odd that Trump would say those things when the CIA apparently reported to US officials back in February that the virus is far more serious than China has let on and that they are lying about their figures.

    Something doesn’t add up somewhere both in China and in ‘Murica!!! **** yeah!!!

    But China had the outbreak in December, we could see on the news as it swept through the country, it didn't really need anybody to point out that it was serious. What Trump played down wasn't just the seriousness of the disease (echoing the misnomer that it's "just" the flu), but also that it was just one or two cases and that it would go away very quickly. By being so offhandish, US citizens didn't feel the need to be as wary or conscious as the rest of the world were. I find it highly unlikely that Trump wouldn't have been briefed on the virus early days, I suspect he ignored whatever they said to him. Even his medical advisers just ignore him now.

    I just think this time he's really dropped a bollock because, yes, he is vainglorious and self serving, but this time it's actually cost thousands of lives, not just popularity and votes. Yet he still appears on TV saying what a great job he's doing. Just once, one time, it would be nice to see him speak to his people with a bit of decorum befitting a man of that office and not mention himself, and then have Mike Pence follow up with what can only be described as a vocal rimjob of the POTUS.

    If Penguin poo viewed from space reveals new Antarctic [penguin] colony locations*, surely the various 'intelligence' agencies know & have known the true 'figures' for a while in China ...

    Obviously the intelligence agencies were too busy looking for penguin poo to see what the Chinese were doing, like secretly burying 40,000 dead bodies, destroying their paper trail, and silencing their relatives and friends allegedly.

    I think it may have just been hospital deaths.

    Did trump cause all the deaths in Spain and Italy? Why aren’t you calling **** out of their politicians? why do you feel the need?
    Do you think the Chinese have been open honest and up front from the word go?

    Because they took measures straight away and didn't act like they knew better, or try and play it down. They didn't have this air of arrogance that because he was in charge, everything would be alright. The PM of Italy (and indeed most European countries I'm aware of) understood the gravity of the situation and took appropriate action. The POTUS spent two weeks saying it wasn't a big deal and that it wasn't worth worrying about

    This is about holding him to account, which nobody seems to want to do since he became President. His negligence has undoubtedly cost them lives.

    Maybe a stupid question, so apologise in advance.

    I keep hearing of nursing homes with numerous deaths etc. Are they just not bothering to take them to hospital for treatment?
