For the record, 60% of everyone on IORR are from USA. Biggest Stones market. Biggest number of visitors on IORR. Then the rest i.e. 40% are from the other 200 or so countries in the world.
Sorry I will just delete any political personal statements, as they are bound to start fights here, and they will always get ugly. Save your anger for the next election, then you may have your saying.

There is no point in making a new thread like the one above. I will just delete or merge.
I am leaving a lot of posts untouched, as long as they do not have a clear political message. This does not mean I accept political posts. I do NOT want to delete 50% of all posts, even if many do post political to some extent these days.
Please do not take it personal, if I delete your post. I do not care who is posting what. I spend may be 1-2 hours every day reading every post everything, just to keep this thread pretty clean. I wish I could have spent that time on other stuff in life, but I do want to keep this thread open.
I don't have more time. If you don't like it here, then feel free to talk about the coronavirus other places.

Good 2m between Boris and other speakers at daily press conferences and a good 2m from the chancellor during ‘nhs wave’ last night outside downing st.
But yes lots of others aren’t
bv hasn't deleted your thread, he has merged it into this one.
Make no mistake, he takes them down - as he (rightfully) did with mine today
Blondie doesn't understand a lot about Corona...
How many other people did this clown infect?
Gevalt.
3700/19 in Norway.
Is Boris just stupid, or is he simply following the path where UK is getting full immunity fast, and 240,000 deaths? Shaking hands is like swimming with 10 feet long sharks. Unless you are suicidal, you don't do that.
Bjornulf
I don’t know the answer but am guessing that those 100,000 deaths occurred over a period of many months, not weeks, as is happening now.

Not every celebrity publicizes their charitable donations. For all we know, they could be contributing to local food banks, or donating to funds to help out-of-work musicians, or paying for hospital equipment. I don't think we should assume they're not doing anything just because they haven't made a big fanfare about it.

People, can we please turn down the politics out of respect for BV & what he is doing here by providing us a forum?
Plus 90% of the IORR crowd is not American, will not vote later this year so they really don't give a damn about "yellow suntan" or "sleepy Joe".
Believe it or not if you're in the US of A, for us, rest of the world, a Dem pres or a Rep pres don't make a big difference as they have the same (stupid and destructive) foreign policy.
Thank you!

I have a several coworkers that are loud mouth "yellow suntan " fans and I have told them that's not what it's about with all the finger pointing going on and such from Washington back to New York and vice a versa and you know what it's not about Democrats or Republicans it's about Americans period . We are all in this mess together and when God Forbid when one of us is stricken with COVID-19 do you really think it matters what our political affiliation is ? Nope , not one bit ! It just tears us apart and pushes us further away from each other than we should be . This will all get sorted out in the fall . In the mean time we should all be united and work together and follow the guidelines of CDC and the Doctors and never mind the rest of the nonsense because I am here at work which is truly a blessing as I have a job and continue to earn my living which is truly the best blessing from above and it keeps my mind distracted with the task at hand versus sitting home and freaking out about all the pain and suffering and loss of precious life all around us . Then after I get home I have supper and watch the local and national news and then it hits me in the face like a massive punch . Bottom line stay safe and follow the guidelines to protect our families and loved ones as best as we can !

(CNN) Why is the death rate so low in Germany? How come the UK has comparatively fewer cases than elsewhere? And what's going on in Russia?
Sheila Bird, a renowned British biostatistician and professor at Cambridge University, says testing and reporting have been inconsistent even within individual countries, let alone internationally. Rules on who gets tested -- and where and when -- can evolve, and these changes and time lapses are not necessarily captured in the data published by different governments.
Bird is one of a number of high-profile scientists who have been calling on the UK government to run more coronavirus tests and provide more nuanced data. The UK government says the health system doesn't currently have the capacity to test everyone who has Covid-19 symptoms. Only patients sick enough to require hospital treatment get tested, according to the government. The country had more than 9,962 cases and 467 deaths as of Thursday, according to JHU.
Meanwhile in Germany, anyone who shows flu-like symptoms and has in the past 14 days come into contact with a confirmed case, or traveled to a high-risk region, gets tested, according to official guidelines published by the health ministry. According to JHU, more than 41,519 people there have tested positive as of Thursday, with just 239 deaths.
And in South Korea, there is free and easy access to testing for anyone whom a doctor deems needs it, and authorities have been tracing the contacts of infected patients. As of Wednesday, the country had 9,241 cases and 131 deaths, according to JHU.

Canadian hospitals to start enrolling patients in global COVID-19 drug trials
"Within the next week, more than a dozen Canadian hospitals will start enrolling patients as part of an unprecedented global collaboration to test four potential treatments for COVID-19, the disease caused by the pandemic coronavirus that currently has no vaccine or cure.
Dubbed SOLIDARITY, the multinational trial is being co-ordinated by the World Health Organization and aims to enrol thousands of patients from around the world. In the absence of a vaccine — something that is at least a year or more away — the goal is to quickly identify treatments that could mitigate the toll of COVID-19, which has already killed more than 20,000 people worldwide."

I notice that BV in the coronavirus thread does not want political posts and threatens to take them down.......but actually has left them up in that thread.
However, my post put up yesterday evening which was viewed 60 times in less than 15 minutes has been taken down without comment, warning or an explanation.
My post was a serious genuine concern for the Stones reputation and how they may be viewed in the future. It was Stones related, it was music related, it was polite, it was serious, it was a legitimate issue IMHO.
It was NOT irrelevant drivel about USA politics.
Please BV could you be consistent in your censorship.
Thank you

Interesting article about University of Washington model of the pandemic in the US. They project there will be 81000 deaths in the US from the virus. We will hope that this projection doesn't come true. The details of how they came up with the number are in the article along with some other interesting & scary items.

"UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for coronavirus, he confirmed on Twitter.
“Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus. I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus. Together we will beat this,” Johnson said on Twitter."

I do still see press conferences where the top politicians are standing less than two meters apart (i.e. less than 6 feet apart), sharing microphones, touching the same table, and so on. No wonder they get the virus, they are breaking all the laws of preventing the virus from spreading around.

Where coronavirus outbreak started in Washington state, officials see hope as cases appear to be leveling off
“We don’t know if this last two weeks has been a calm before the storm or if the social distancing and all those things that are being practiced are working,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Jeff Tomlin, whose hospital has handled 40 of Washington state’s more than 130 virus-related deaths. He said the hospital is no longer overwhelmed, though it still lacks needed supplies."

81000 deaths by the first week in July implies a huge increase from current levels, even with current measures. Can the US health care system cope?
As always in these reports, a number of caveats and a very wide range of figures.
Which makes me wonder...how did the US health services cope in the 1968/69 pandemic when I believe there were 100,000 deaths in the US alone?

Note this is not about politics anymore. This is about the proper execution of actions to resolve this crisis in each country. And no matter what your political stripe the actions are going to be approximately the same.
There is no point complaining about the lack of mechanical ventilators and respirator masks either. No country maintains a "strategic stockpile" of equipment like that. It's super sad though because I just saw how in Spain they are removing ventilators from people 65 and older to give them to younger people that need them. They are sedating the older people and letting them pass away. It's putting unimaginable stress on the medical staff.
