Ireland
Norway
Iceland
New Zealand
United Kingdom

Every other country in the world does!!!!

I detect the interest in Coiv is dwindling but I can' resist trumpeting this one.

Covid19 is still the biggest story, I'm perplexed how its disappearing off peoples radars. Fresh spikes occurring all over the place in US.

It seems BLM is the only thing that matters now. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a spike over here after all those mass protests.

There is an indirect link between Covid and BLM. So far Africa hasn't been hit as hard as elsewhere. But perhaps this is because Africans don't have access to good health systems and therefore don't survive some of the conditions that increase covid fatalities. Also they simply don't live as long. And finally, they have governments and infrastructures that couldn't give a toss about reporting coivd deaths. It's too low on the priority list.
I look at India and Brazil and hope they are reaching their peaks.

Hopefully this dexamethasone discovery is not a mirage in the desert like hydroxychloroquine was.

Trump didn't invent the link with hydroxychloroquine, he was told it. Maybe in future all politicians should not speak, that way they can't be 'shot' when they are only a messenger.

He didn't invent the link but he kept promoting the drug even after it was debunked by his own people.

Damn! I got sucked in again :D

OK. Trump is a twerp IMO. I shall try to pre-filter my anti-Trump posts from now on. :-). But reserve the right to blurt inaccurate stuff like him.
I don't believe the US President doesn't have accurate, up to date information on these matters, so i wonder what his motivation was.
But if inaccuracy is good enough for him.......?

There's a difference between having access to it, and actually having it. Given how he apparently doesn't want to read his memos and documents, unless there's a mention of his own name at least every other line and/or pictures of either pussy or cute pussy cats, we can't be sure what info he has. Also doesn't help that anyone not being a yes man are at high risk of losing their job.

+1 - the world needs to re-evaluate how they perceive this narcissist!! i am routinely gobsmacked not just by the blind faith that a certain camp in the US place on this guy, but more by the barely disguised fawning support for him by certain members of this *open minded* forum - lol

he say - c h y- na :D

"Also doesn't help that anyone not being a yes man are at high risk of losing their job".
Good point. That does seem to be his MO with people that dare to put a view other than his own. I've worked with someone like that and its demoralisiing.
I worked for one company that INSISTED on feedback from employees. It was great. Challenging, (you have to have an idea going into every meeting) but great.

I think you will find it was debunked by some people. We have it here now, some are saying the kids should go back to school and some are saying they should not … both claim to be educated arguments but both can't be right and whichever way Boris goes half the people will be against the decision … the problem is the half who are against it whichever way it goes is the half that gets the loudest shouts afterwards.

I keep getting sucked in! :lol:
