Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

[SaratogaX]

Informal poll. Curious about this. You can be as vague as you want. I am curious about these two, and especially if you are living in Europe.

-Grocery stores.

-Not so densely populated streets, parks, etc.

I'll go first:

East Coast USA.

- 100%.

- 60%.

I know these numbers depends on number of other factors but let's not go there.

TIA.

Trump is just doing what he thinks he needs to do to get re-elected. It seems less people are buying his lies lately as his poll numbers are dropping. I had to laugh when I saw many of his brain washed supporters carring the " Make America Great Again" posters at his rally today. That slogan is now better suited for Biden after Trump spent the last 3 1/2 years F*ucking up my country for his own personal gain!

A Trump supporter carrying a "Make America Great Again" sign at a 2020 Trump rally is not very smart. After Trump's full term in office shouldn't protesters at Trump's rallies be carrying that sign now?

Yeah, no kidding! How incredibly ironic! Although, I thought the slogan for this campaign was going to be "Keep America Great". But as you say, the 2016 slogan would be more fitting. For the other guy!

The news is correct. I am living in India for last 2 years (atleast 10 months a year). Anyways China is bullying India a lot as well as its neighbors in south China sea, Taiwan and HK. I am sure they want to achieve one thing remove all US influence in this region. China cannot escape that it gave corona to the world. And it has all weather friend Pakistan, NK, Nepal and other few as well. The main problem is India is fighting corona and is yet to reach its peak. So don't know where this all will lead to. Many people and government is looking at US for support but yet to hear anything. I don't know what China is achieving by being a bully. Is it thinking that it can simply replace US as super po.

Reply: I worked 5 years in India, India has not only to fight the covid 19, they are facing a lot of challenges, how can we imagine that India has more or less no highways, the trains are at least 70 years old, critical shortage of electricity.

Extremely segregate populations, between religions, castes, ethnics. 50 years back China and India where at the same level of development, today China is probably not far to be the super power number 1 and India is still struggling to start to develop, without speaking about the crazy unbalanced ratio woman to man which leads in some places to have 60 man for 40 woman: so many sexually frustrated young man with 0 access to sex.

Headline news are saying China India are in some kinda military tiff and China killed 20+ Indian troops.

This is inline with prior discussion about China using Corona virus damage that was inflicted on its rivals and trying to take them on economically, trade wise, and militarily; HK is already occupied, Taiwan is being bullied; Philippines was badgered 2 years ago. Now India will take a beating.

I am sure our erudite expert (s) will disagree and tell me I am completely misreading this, or that there is not enough consensus that China is in any real confrontation with India. Perhaps FT and WSJ are wrong. But here are two links; perhaps FT and WSJ may not be sufficiently up to the standards of erudite masters, and I hope they can correct me and these two publications where they made mistakes.

If I were you, I wouldn't pay much attention to Bolsonaro or Trump. They're just doing what they've promised what their voters elected them to do..

A couple of months ago I said South Korea was kicking ass in the fight against Coronavirus. It didn't look like anybody could do better. But now Switzerland is ranked #1 and Germany #2 out of 200 nations studied. South Korea is #10.

Coronavirus was already in Italy by December, waste water study finds.

That make me wonder, was the Virus in Frankfurt earlier than March?? I was having nice time in Sharks late February! Maybe too many girls already had it!! Who knows.

Some got virus on October after international military competition in China, but nobody knew what it was and China lied for months, to try to save their already falling cheap economy, and when they don t respect also for pollution which kill much more than virus, US also don t respect for pollution, but they have Trump who found HIV vaccine. Funny crazy world where real white bears don t have anymore home on ice, Bangladesh will be soon new Atlantis with millions new fishes, and in few years, no more snow for me to ski. Virus will kill less in France than pollution, or cigarettes.

Progress in Germany / EU versus the US:

How do these numbers work out per capita and how do the percentage of fatalities compare? Using comparative statistics only Germany is impressing me with these numbers. As far a bagging on the US, we have enough other problems that are low hanging fruit, but. All this crap we are experiencing are like "The Shot Heard Around The World" and any other country may wake up to a new turmoil they didn't even know was getting warm and now they find it boiling.

Of which probably less than 1000 in France and Germany.

If You mean less than 1000 HIV deaths in France, I would like so much You are right, but I'm pretty sure we have much more. About Germany, any doctor would confirm risk for AO RTC, I think more dangerous than virus, because healthy recover from virus, when healthy is not anymore healthy under HIV.

[LeyenLouvain]

China back under virus.

770.000 HIV deaths in 2018, when some seem to think not dangerous.
