It only bothers me when people make a point of saying one set of figures is not complete but post all other as if they are final. That is point scoring on something that is not a game.

It only bothers me that people nit-pick silly things to deflect away from the main point because it doesn't suit their political bias. Especially when lives are at stake, that is not a game.

Yep apparently we're doing as well as Germany and Canada in terms of our government's response :rolleyes:
Any idea how every country in the world is reporting deaths, we are classing every death where COVID19 had a positive test as a virus death, is this true everywhere?

Tbh I'm far more concerned about the gulf between the Top 5/6 group of countries for deaths due to coronavirus and the rest of the world. Sadly the UK is a part of that group and perhaps we should be looking to see what other countries have done better to keep the lives lost so low.

****ing right it isn't and this is **** all to do with politics either.
You should remember this when you post your next league table.

So basically if we had locked down sooner the need for mass testing would be pointless?

Testing does **** all in a situation like this unless you have a vaccine to combat it.

It's simple. If people know they've got it they know not to go anywhere, and may not even be showing symptoms. If person has had it in the past but no longer has it, they can probably start going out again.

Did you miss the question in the post you quoted?

Why, because you see that as a game or politics? Or is it more the fact you see those deaths as an inconvenience to your political bias <ok>

Genuine question. If someone has had it and no longer show symptoms, I thought there was still a possibility of the virus reappearing. What I mean by that, just because you do not show symptoms, does not mean it has left your body. Is this right or wrong? I only ask because how certain are we that tests prove what we want it to prove.

Total bollocks, you can still carry it on your hands and clothes (maybe even in your respiratory tract without getting infected) . I am not sure there is even any proof that you can't catch it again yet.
