Haha - didn't you see Dantes say "only thing that matters is the button he pushes" ? 😉
What point? Trump isn't corrupt because Obama was also corrupt? Is that what you're saying?
What if flu deaths were counted like COVID-19 deaths?
Interesting conclusion.

The U.S. now has more than 63,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths, and most experts say that's almost certainly an undercount. Still, if you compare that number to the 2017-18 flu season, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates killed 61,000 people, it looks like COVID-19 might be similar to a bad flu — President Trump has made this point, as have many conservative media personalities. But the data so far show that this new coronavirus is much more lethal than the flu, and Dr. Jeremy Samuel Faust has an explanation.
Faust, a Harvard Medical School instructor and emergency physician at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, wrote in Scientific American that he started wondering about the flu-to-COVID comparisons when it occurred to him that in nearly eight years of hospital work, "I had almost never seen anyone die of the flu." Neither had any of the colleagues he called around the country. So he did some research, and this is what he found:-
The 25,000 to 69,000 numbers that Trump cited do not represent counted flu deaths per year; they are estimates that the CDC produces by multiplying the number of flu death counts reported by various coefficients produced through complicated algorithms. These coefficients are based on assumptions of how many cases, hospitalizations, and deaths they believe went unreported. In the last six flu seasons, the CDC's reported number of actual confirmed flu deaths — that is, counting flu deaths the way we are currently counting deaths from the coronavirus — has ranged from 3,448 to 15,620. [Jeremy Faust, Scientific American].
So in an apples-to-apples comparison, matching the second week of April's COVID-19 deaths to the worst week of the past seven flu seasons, "the novel coronavirus killed between 9.5 and 44 times more people than seasonal flu," Faust writes. Read his entire essay at Scientific American.

Well duh.
Wheelie bins to look over the fence (although in 2020 Dunc may have moved on to drones).
Pies?
72% in Japan see closure of unregulated meat markets as key to preventing pandemics, survey finds | The Japan Times| https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2...t-markets-china-coronavirus-wwf/#.XrAYCrrTWNx
I'm amazed that Koptalk is even still going!
Perhaps it's 650 quid for new batteries for the drones as he doesn't realise you can recharge them?
Haha
Maybe wheelie bins have batteries now. They'll be much larger and more expensive than a drone's.
Taking a load of Garys & trying to dance inside your car, with no chance of pulling or anyone to chat shit too, then trying to drive home doesn't sound like much fun to me.
I'd still settle for that right now
650quid a month for hosting a website, is he taking the piss? More like that's what he was making off it a month and he still wants paying.
He must have saved about £50,000 a year in food bills, given he looks about half the size he used to be, the fucking horrible cunt
Evil, lying communist state China covered up severity of coronavirus in order to first stock up on medical supplies such as gowns, masks and gloves before demand increased globally.
New York Times reports:
"DHS analysis states that, while downplaying the severity of the coronavirus, China increased imports and decreased exports of medical supplies. It attempted to cover up doing so by “denying there were export restrictions and obfuscating and delaying provision of its trade data,” the analysis states.
The report also says China held off informing the World Health Organization that the coronavirus “was a contagion” for much of January so it could order medical supplies from abroad — and that its imports of face masks and surgical gowns and gloves increased sharply"
Cunts

If you have even the slightest doubt that the government would do so if it were possible, then you're massively deluded.
Not that it makes it any more palatable, but still, worth remembering.
So here we are. You think a democratically elected Western government is as bad - worse maybe - than the Communist Party of China?
Makes sense, I suppose, since you've already accused Johnson and co of being "murderers" but seem rather less inclined to accuse the Wuhan Clan of any wrongdoing.
I suspect he’d actually have to register as a business at the very least to qualify for that!
To be fair, the government have had plenty of warnings that we were massively unprepared for this exact situation, which their own scientists and researchers told them exactly what they needed to do to mitigate - so it was eminently possible for them to stock up and have sufficient supplies, but they chose not to because they're ideologically against funding the NHS properly
