One country's "reformed prisoners" are less "reformed" than the others? Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Dang Right FAUCHMan - WEEEE dA WEEEEE PEOPLEs NO BELIEVE in A 'SCIENCE' Wholly Dependent on HUGE MONIEs IMHO, all those that refuse to believe in science should be sent off to a remote island, without anything discovered or invented after 1700 and we can see how long they last. The nightly TV show filmed only by drones should make for interesting viewing. |

Virus tracing app abandoned. The main story for the Mail is the government's abandonment of its coronavirus tracing app. "How Many More Corona Fiascos?" asks the front page headline. It cites a string of U-turns over testing, protective equipment, schools and quarantine. The Telegraph got it right. :-) |

The nightly TV show filmed only by drones should make for interesting viewing.Which leads nicely into a satire on economics, written over a hundred years ago. Suppose a party of people were wrecked on a desert island, what do you think would be the first thing they'd do? Obviously they would look around for a man with money to employ them in gathering fruit. If there were no capitalist among them, or if he didn't see his way to make a profit out of the business, they would all remain unemployed and starve to death, no matter how fertile the island might be. |

Coronavirus was already in Italy by December, waste water study finds Italian scientists say sewage water from two cities contained coronavirus traces in December, long before the country's first confirmed cases. China has some explaining to do. |

Yes. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-06-virus-italy-december.html But even in February no one knew how the virus was spreading and in what pace it did. Unfortunately many Swedes where in Italy that month bringing the virus here and the result is many deaths. Who's to blame? In Lombardy, Italy where there was a lot of corona cases, there is a large community of Chinese people travelling back an forth to China. |

There are three kinds of science, Science, damn Science, and Statistics. Seems like many politicians are going for Statistics, especially in these Corona days:) |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV2jJyuKZ60 "Jag vill bli bra, förkylning gör ingen människa glad, Nu vill vill jag ha, medicin, medicin, medicin meddetsamma." Rough translation that somehow get lost "I want to feel good, a cold doesn't make anyone happy, Now I want to have, medicin, medicin, medicin right now". |

The world recorded a massive 181,000+ new cases over the last 24hrs and over 5,000 deaths. :-O The U.S. put a in over 33,500 of those taking it to almost 2.3 million cases and past 121,000 deaths, but they couldn't come close to Brazil's numbers coming in at over 55,200 new cases (I wonder if this is a correction making up for earlier lower than expected reported numbers) taking them past 1 million and past 49,000 deaths. India also recorded their highest daily number of new cases with over 14,700 and will soon be the 4th country to pass 400,000 while Iran became the 10th country to pass 200,000 cases. But sadly the rates of daily new cases are definately rising and the reopening of some countries/states far too early as well as the protests that have been going on are likely fueling this trend. :-( |

Check out Tulsa in 2 weeks. The problem is it isn't just Tulsa. They are coming from all 50. Now if the other 49 had stiff backs the attendees would be stopped at the border and told to return to Tulsa and bring 3 weeks of daily negative test results to enter. |

I wonder how this bit of idiocy will turn out. Trump says he ordered slowdown in coronavirus testing in speech to rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Trump described testing as a "double-edged sword", saying: "When you do testing to that extent you're going to find more people."I bet that that will make plenty over there feel much more secure. |

It saddens me to see that while other countries are either maintain or increasing their testing regimes the US, or more specifically the US President, is reducing its testing. I'm not sure of the pretext for such a move, but maybe it is based on the assumption that if you don't test you don't find and so it will go away. Sadly I doubt that Corvid-19 reads that page of the book :-( Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
