    Personally I believe that who, the United Nations and China are looking to control the people... by making the people stay in. Making government stand down to their dictate. Making news sources listen to them, publish what they say. . Making The people outraged at governments for not follow their dictate. This virus has been used politically, and not in the interest of the people in my opinion. Just look at trump... damned no matter what he did. Don’t panic, don’t worry, it is the flu, news sources, everyone panic! Sweden, let’s ignore the dictate and carry on. Are the people there ready to riot for not being in lock down? Seems in the us they were ready to riot either way. They were primed for this under Obama.

    world domination by the United Nations, except sweden

    what question does he want answered? I was not vaccinated. I don’t have one of those funky round scars on my arm either. My Older brother and younger sister do. Can find his question. Maybe my answer will silence him and help keep it on topic. :)

    Country. No. of deaths

    Russia. 1915
    Germany. 7549
    India. 2109
    Singapore 20
    Indonesia. 973
    Phillipines 709
    Thailand 56
    Mexico 3353
    Sth Africa 186


    These are all countries well past dates where they should have spiked but didn't, many didn't have too notch health systems, many weren't in full lockdown or are places where social distancing was impossible.

    The disease was never going to take hold in areas with a life expectancy less than 80 years, population density under 100 per sq km, outside the world's temperate zones

    In fact, 10th May, there are still only 22 countries out if 199 that have more than 1000 Covid deaths

    Naw, I don't like the commie bastards. I just hate Aussie gorilla's more. Nothing against other Australians tho. Seem like nice folks. So maybe my fantasy was a tad overbroad, but pleasant to entertain with regard to you.

    That doesn’t even make sense. Explain how all mom and pop businesses vulnerable to COVID-19, and corporate superstores immune from it?

    If you support individual rights and liberties, you’re a “fascist”

    If you support authoritarianism and don’t even question it, like Mingo, you’re a “liberal”

    What a time to be alive

    Your line of argument doesn't make sense. Explain to me how a concern for the mom and pop businesses being put out of business should be an overriding concern when a pandemic is threatening human lives and the country is trying to halt it's spread or flatten the curve. Your argument is what's known as a red herring, and stinks as such.

    You may need a fire extinguisher for those pants. Your dissembling could get you a bad case of toasted cojones. As you well know, I'm not an authoritarian, which is why I oppose Trump and his extravagant claims of executive power (unless you're one of the jerks who believe that any restrictions on you preferred activities during a pandemic are unacceptable.) Those who remember your Pepe Frog--gamergate--"I love Milo" phase have seen your inner fascist at play. If you support ethno-nationalism disguised as "libertarianism", as you seem do, and feed the movement with dishonest propaganda, you're a fascist at heart, whatever you call yourself: a blackshirt or brownshirt waiting in the wings--hoping that, comes the revolution, you'll ride the bandwagon to fame and glory.

    We have one with a McDonald's. It's nostalgic... I dated a girl from this town before I lived here, and she & I would take her younger siblings to that McDonald's between kissing and doing dope. lol I'll never forget it & I think about it every time I go by the McDonald's in there; which isn't every time I visit the Walmart.

    I haven't been going to Walmart as much with stay-at-home orders in place. I don't know why it's this way, but even with their move to limit the number of customers I have it set in my brain that Walmart makes for a chaotic environment i.e. people aren't social distancing.

    My friend is going out and giving food to people During this lock down.. You wouldn’t believe how rude and ignorant the people are. Seriously the ones doing it need security around them. It is like fucking impoverished country they way people are behaving, getting the hand outs. None of them are starving, which is obvious.. He was pushed up against a fence and swarmed by 17 guys, none Of whom spoke English, They took the box and pulled a knife on him too. All for eggs! I would have been tossing the box full of eggs in the air and let them fight over it, That was a couple of days ago. The following day he was giving out bananas. Same shit, pushed and shoved, no distance adhered to. I told him to cough into his arm next time to get them to back up. He didn’t and same shit, without the knife this time. Maybe he needs to print fake money that is obviously fake and toss that into the air.

    Who’s to say a mom and pop business cannot help provide people with the goods and services that people may want or need to get through the pandemic? Why rely on big companies and Amazon?

    You said you and your family go to McDonalds. How do you know the line cook isn’t infected? For that matter how do you know if he even washed his hands? If you were that much of a paranoid Cornavirus Karen, you wouldn’t even be taking your family out to eat. You’re not doing your part to flatten the curve


    Says the guy who supports cancel culture, cyber censorship, and silencing your opposition.

    LoL poor Pepe. The most misunderstood frog ever known. It was quite funny to watch the you and the left get so triggered over a meme though. Good times.

    It’s alright though, I found a Leftist Pepe just for you. ;)

    Slander and libel is all this is. At times I’ve tried to be amicable with you in the past, but time and time again you prove yourself to be a hateful left wing stereotype who masquerades as a tolerant liberal who tries to score good boy points with the rest of the left wingers on this site.

    What I meant about it being a waste of time has been borne out by others on here, our useless UK government hadled it completely wrong, why tell the resident population they must stay at home etc to stop the spread yet at the same time they're quite happily allowing planes full of people into the country!
    It shows how out of touch they are with how they're handling the illegals they keep picking up in the Channel, they should return them to France, but no, they bring them to the UK, then they simply release them and tell them to observe social distancing and to return to such and such a place, on such and such a date, which they don't, they simply disappear!
    When all this lockdown first began the number of complaints to the police about groups of migrants not observing lockdown was massive., They enter Europe with one aim, to end up in the UK, it's that simple, they are not 'fleeing persecution' or whatever pathetic excuse they come up with, otherwise they'd seek assylum in the first country they came to.Germany did us no favours, rather craftily then encouraged them to go to Germany, then issued them all with EU passports, easing their passage into the UK!

    We, are an island, and as such should have been one of the easiest places to secure, but once again our government failed to act! Now all Bojo is saying is that everyone should go back to work and observe distancing, yeah right, how's that work? Perhaps in a shop, a cafe, or similar, then maybe, but I can think of loads of jobs where that's just not possible, construction, engineering and such. In my job there is often heavy lifting involved, it takes two people, so we couldn't keep 2 metres apart, how would that work, or do we wear full Hazmat suits? Then we come to thing such as eating, sites all have a cabin where you go to eat, drink, or dry wet clothes, these are by nature quite crowded, it simply isn't going to work. There's so much confusion and conflicting information being put out it's pathetic, but then again we had exactly the same with the Brexit negotiations, everyone wants to have a say and be involved, rather than one person giving the instructions out. It will be interesting to see, in the final analysis when this is all over if those people who were so keen to have their say during the crisis are equally keen to be held responsible for what went wrong!

    no one is immigrating to South Africa, just saying, Singapore kind of has always been in lockdown. India, people leave to elsewhere for work. Mexico, gateway into the USA illegally. Another thing too. Subpar healthcare means inadequate testing. People look at numbers in shock. South Africa isn’t doing well, never has been but more die there through murder than you are in a car crash or corona virus. S.africa has over 21000 murders a year. 3.4% chance. So I doubt this virus is much of a concern.

    Yay for socialized medicine and a liberal government in Canada.
    Hospitals here, the staff don’t have masks. The masks are being reused. Not allowed to throw them out,
    They can’t be reused for three days.

    Political correctness facilitated the spread of COVID.

    By keeping the borders open and unchecked

    Because closed borders is “racist” or some shit like that
