Been watching some U.S news channels today. What's going on over there is just fucking mental putting aside the mad cunt aka Trump.

 

Their testing is an absolute shambles. Most of them completely useless or unreliable.

 

4 states have re-opened with more looking to follow.

 

Already at 55k deaths. To put things into perspective, 58k died during Vietnam.

 

They will easily surpass 100k if they carry on with this madness.

Mad seeing all the protesters gathering saying they want the lockdown lifted. 

 

Our government are a bunch of pricks, but at least they've tried to make it easy for most of us to stay at home.

From Guardian updates :

 

Quote

Japan’s Osaka Prefecture said it will name and shame more pachinko parlour gambling outlets that are defying coronavirus lockdown requests after three out of six locations it identified on Friday subsequently closed, Reuters reports.

“A lot of places have closed down after we named the six last week. We are now conducting a survey of pachinko parlours and will announce the results accordingly,” a spokesman for Osaka Prefecture said.

The continued operation of some noisy gambling halls is a conspicuous reminder of the limits of Japanese government’s ability to lock down cities with requests rather than orders backed up with fines.

Japan declared a state of emergency in Tokyo and six other areas on April 7 that it later extended to the rest of the country.

Pachinko parlours, where players sit back-to-back at long rows of machines with bouncing steel balls and garish lights, are a common sight in Japan and easy for health officials to identify.

 

The Japanese are awesome, but fuck pachinko parlours. Get on a Yakuza game and play some minigames for fucks sake. They even have Yakuza 7 that's not released anywhere else in the world yet! Madness.

 

Why the hell would you be at a pachinko parlour when you could be at home doing this?

South Korea has a population of 52 million yet has had 243 Coronavirus deaths.

 

We've got a population of 66 million yet have deaths somewhere between 20,000 and 40,000.

 

Still, Boris is great, isn't he? Just a great fella. British through and through. Really showed those Nazis erm I mean the Coronavirus what for.  God bless the government, I can't wait for the tax bill at the end of all this.

Wonder what piece of Covid related positive news will released to accompany the bumbling buffoon on his return to work.


National Holiday on Friday 8th May (VE Day or Victory In England Day) with lockdown ended on 11th May. Hurrah for Blighty.

 

EDIT: Schedules in new lockdown for August when deaths spike again.

Even if they did, that would be a better per capita achievement than here.

 

The FT estImated the actual deaths total in the UK at over 40,000 at the end of last week.

 

The US has handled the situation remarkably poorly. But it's not alone...
