Today the clown will be gone. The world thanks the American people.
Succession would not take place until 20th January 2021. Which is a huge window of opportunity for, well, I don't really know what. But suggest at least court challenges to election results.
 
History will show that lockdownss only prolong the inevitable and prolong the misery. In the end, the virus will take the same number of people
Same number of people as what? Wouldn't you need a parallel universe to compare numbers with? I suppose you could compare numbers between countries, but there'd be other factors to consider there wouldn't there (such as population density, wealth, health and healthcare, average age, local habits, etc).
 
Summer in the U.S. ran from June 20, 2020 to September 22, 2020.

Here's a look at how infections declined during those months.

OK, point noted for the US. But in Europe, it did decline greatly over the summer, almost disappearing in many areas.

Then as the weather got cooler and people started spending more time indoors, it made a big comeback and now we're heading back into lockdowns.

Though some parts are headed out of lockdown - such as Wales. Will see the so-called fire break lifted on Monday.

Really?

Have rates not fallen over the past few days - lockdown started about ten days ago.

Lockdown to relock down means ineffective when you consider the cost of a lockdown.

No one disputes hiding inside would limit the spread. The question is, at what cost and how long is it effective?

Lockdowns also may limit people testing.

huh ??

What a blow, right before the event.. Lets just hope it won't happen just before xmas then either. Of course if Apple is caught operating then...

look what happened to other businesses. I don't mind the whole "unclear" bit, but its very clear to me. An iphone is "not essential" to have.
 
Yeah... no.

The death-to-case mortality rate is against people that have any disease. Not those that had a test. Cancer wouldn’t be a problem if everyone that ever had a biopsy ever in their lives counted in the mortality rate. Your political BS answer to soften the blow of how poorly this administration has done is a garbage number.


Man... that number seems to match mine. Must be an error, I guess.

Then, since you’re concerned with the death rate instead of the mortality rate... we currently sit at 299,028 excess deaths this year over projected levels from that death rate. We have a reported 231,000 Covid deaths. Totally fake disease I guess, total coincidence.

Sorry, not sorry.
LOL. Time to wake up and stop letting Trump live rent free in your head. It’s about the science, not your political rants. The scientists at the CDC are the ones who compute the fatality rate and publish the IFR. For your own sake, let the politics go and get on with your life.
 
I just received an email that they won’t be operating a service for the iPhone upgrade program during the lockdown which is v disappointing. So now I am going to be paying an extra £150~ for this phone that I wouldn’t have had to previously.

They’re both clowns 🤡 Corporations rule, in case anyone forgot. Clowns are put in place to do temporary things. When one clown has filled an objective another clown is put in the circus.

Most big businesses are now not locking down their stores during a lockdown. They are converting to pick up locations for deliveries, drop in your product for support/refund, kerb side collection and distribution centers. Gotta make sure they are still earning revenue to cover the rents.

in that case when you can upgrade sell your current handset to Music Magpie, ReBuy etc and clear off the loan yourself and pocket the difference. That way you won’t loose the £150
