Did he say February or March though?

It appears celebrities have no problem accessing these tests which are so hard to come by due to lack of materials.

Well, this inconsiderate timing...

More on Sweden and their approach, from two days ago. No numbers. Swedes all going away for Easter.

"The Scandinavian country has a nearly exclusive focus on the elderly and other risk groups, little testing and very few binding measures of social distancing, while many other countries are adopting massive lockdown measures. This contrast becomes an intimate matter, a light form of schizophrenia between different emotional and political ways to handle uncertainty. "
...

"Being in Sweden now feels like finding yourself in the “control group” of a massive political experiment of containment and response to a global pandemic: will we – a unique case in Europe and possibly the world – be proven right, or are we heading for disaster?"

We were never following those figures. The Italy column begins from the date of the first death. The UK column begins two days after the date of the first death. The UK column has been shunted down for no apparent reason, it's extremely misleading, doubtless whoever created it has an agenda to push.

 

We're 16 days after the first death here (5 Mar to 21 Mar), and we're up to 233. After 16 days (22 Feb to 9 Mar) Italy was up to 463.

So it turns out that the first death in this country was in February and not March as was reported. Why would they cover this up?

Struggling to think of a better motive for any action in human history tbh.

I've literally never posted anything other than facts in my life. I deal exclusively in truth. I'm so sorry that reality supports my world view and not yours. So, so sorry."

Can't see anywhere there where I haven't posted facts, but you do realise an earlier death in this country reinforces my original point?

Its ok SD yet again you have posted something that isn't factual and been pulled up on it so why don't you stop saying you only post facts and admit that you are as capable as anyone of getting things wrong? Its not a crime to be wrong sometimes. Just start showing a bit of humility?

Fuck me I'm wrong most of the time, if I get something right I usually shoot my bolt. 

 

Fuck your original point. Your the guy who thins we will be embarrassed by all this when its over and only a couple of days ago said he will stand by that despicable ill-informed arrogant statement despite people on this forum already losing or close to losing people they know. 

 

You classless pile of bat turd.

Any chance you can explain to me what that was?

Ignore the rest of the post though as usual.

Fucking hell, just phoned my old boss and had to stop the call as he was coughing and short of breathe. That was fucking scary.

Okay, so you seem to be blaming me for not knowing a fortnight ago that the first death was in February rather than March, even though we've only just found that out now.

 

I plead guilty to not being omniscient.

Mask update.

The White House is expected soon to advise Americans living in coronavirus hotspots to wear cloth masks or scarves in public to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

I'm merely pointing out that this arrogant comment "I've literally never posted anything other than facts in my life. I deal exclusively in truth. I'm so sorry that reality supports my world view and not yours. So, so sorry." is the load of false arrogant lying bollocks that me and most others knew it was as soon as you posted it. I'm sure many a Cardinal in the Vatican spat their creme de menthe over their laptop/phone/pc screen when they read it.

My mask update is that it's hard to find them online, particularly from a UK supplier. 

 

However, in searching for "face masks" on Google shopping, I discovered this and might buy it. 

 

UP THE BEANS!

What I posted was a fact back then. The facts have since changed. They may change again, if it's discovered that the virus was operating in this country even earlier than thought.

 

This is fucking bizarre, even for you.

You really need to stop taking whatever you are on. It clearly wasn't a 'fact' back then if we now know that it wasn't true you absolute headtheball. Wow.

So what you're saying is that this comes down to you not understanding what the word "fact" means.

 

A fact is a thing which reflects our best current understanding of reality.

Isnt that an opinion?

 

Steaming water LOOKS hot. Opinion.

 

After touching water, turns out the water is very cold. Fact.

 

As for the facts in that article, as an example Pluto not being a planet is based on the opinion of what a planet actually is. Therefore Pluto not being a planet is an opinion, not a fact.

[M_B]

I can see some truth in that.

 

In medieval times or in parts of the US today, the earth being flat would have been considered a fact.
