Trump is doing it for the same reasons as the Chinese did at the start. The "nothing to see here" approach is all about money.


Trump promotes his own version of reality, often in complete opposition to all the evidence. The entire Republican party have colluded in this up to now, buy he can't keep on claiming his administration is doing a wonderful job when the bodies are piling up, and the economy is in freefall.

Republicans renaming it the China Virus is both sinister and transparent.

Just got back from a bike ride and a couple of these :emoticon-0110-tongu
We've done the coast to coast (Whitehaven to Sunderland) a couple of times.
Bit of a pub crawl on a bike. **** knows how we made it home.
Didn't know this either "It is illegal to ride your bike under the influence of drink or drugs, and you would be guilty of this if you were unfit to ride to such an extent as you are incapable of having proper control of the bicycle.” <laugh><laugh><laugh>

Yes it has been for a long time .
I remember my uncle in the 80s getting warned by a policeman for being drunk on his bike !
I go down an old railway line that's been converted to cycle way
 
Yeah just read that, 196 dead today alone, including one of their regional medical chiefs.

Sadly I expect plenty of them would’ve been avoidable had there been fewer cases overall so their resources weren’t so stretched. It really should be a warning to us about what this thing can do if you don’t have the capacity in hospitals to deal with it. Some people are going to die inevitably in all countries but around 10% of those who catch it will need a hospital, apparently.

It said on the news this morning g that we have half the amount of critical care beds that Italy does and they're already pretty well occupied!
That's 10 years of cuts for you !

Some people are just dense ffs. iTz jUsT dA fLU. <doh>

Only it’s a flu virus with no vaccine and is new, so there’s no current community immunity

It has a mortality rate of at least 1% - 10x that of the flu

And a transmission rate about 2.5 times that of flu.

So far the hospitalisation rates are around 10%, with 5% needing intensive care.

If this thing spreads unhindered across the populous and only 10% catch it, that’s 600,000 who’d need a hospital bed. We’ve only got 165,000 of them.....people would therefore die - needlessly, as they’d be deprived respirator care.

The entire reason countries are closing down areas is to try and slow the transmission rate down, as otherwise it’ll completely overwhelm the system.

Boris is building 40 new hospitals though, that will help.
 
does that include the hospitals already built? But Diane Abbott...

To be fair the tories seem to now be relying on Diane Abbott maths with their high spending northern bribery manifesto.

I think Boris government policy is built entirely on winning power, consolidating power and then keeping it. He really doesn’t seem to care what the ideology is behind government decision, it’s just a case of what is popular enough to work for him.
