    I know his epic piece about Brexit.
    He‘s very good and it could be all that easy if the idiots on social media would not continue distributing rubbish and shift narratives and facts.

    This is interesting: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31604-4/fulltext

    As far as I know (which is admittedly not a lot) this is the first time that "First in man", P1 and P2 were combined and they are going fast into P3.

    Sweden has finally gotten the Corona virus under control. It even looks like Sweden will be safer than Norway for the first time tomorrow. I get the feeling the Swedes are feeling smug about it in a last laugh kind of way, conveniently forgetting all the deaths earlier this year. The Swedes have about ten times the number of deaths the neighburs have and only now they have managed to get the infection down to the level of the neighbours. Hardly a reason to get cocky.

    If in any other part of the world, by the governments action, such a death toll would hit a particular part of the population (in this case the elderly), Sweden would be the first one to declare it a "genocide" and demand international intervention.... :)) :)) :))

    Let's try again.

    I'm going to the Confirmation of my nephew in a couple of weeks together with my parents in two weeks. But my nephew lives in a town that's having a Corona outbreak and I'm a diabetic and of course my parents are old. Let's hope for the best ....

    Couldn't your nephew/family/church postpone it until the outbreak is over or is that not an option?
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,699MI6 Agent
    It's the church that sets the date, and they already postponed it from this spring. We'll see. There are two towns in the country where corona is spreading now, and that's where my sisters live .... :#

    I hope they stay safe. I can't believe this virus is still with us and how it's changed our lives. :(

    Would there be any way to preform the service on line, as a live feed ?
    With a family member deputising as a Priest or minister ?

    And wait until our national day to show off our bunads?!! My nephew has inherited the one I got when I was about twenty years old (and the tailor didn't make room for expansion in the midrif area :)) ). It fits him very well and he's already about six feet tall.
    Seriously I think live feed can be the solution if all else fails. They have already postponed it once and I don't think they can postpone again like a Bond movie. Now the confirmants are divided into several smaller groups and each family is only allowed to bring ...... fourteen kinfolk I think. I also tell myself the confirmation is two weeks into the future and the corona outbreak in their town is mostly in the Somali community.

    Soooo, CNN just played the tapes where Bob Woodward interviewed Trump on 7th February 2020:

    Trump told about a conversation with President Xi and Trump confirmed, that Coronavirus is 5 times more lethal then the flu which kills 35000 people every year.
    And that Xi „is on it“.

    So all the blaming of China and the WHO is nonsense - they had all the info on 7th Feb. latest!
    And I am pretty sure that the intelligence people knew it before.

    And on 19th March he told Woodward that he was always deliberately and continuously playing down the threat to „prevent a panic„

    That's damming evidence, but will the average Fox News-watching Republican learn of this?

    And I can hear them coming: „Why does he speak out now and not back in February?“

    Which is just another lame attempt to change the narrative and throw smoke on the fact how terrible his administration handled all this

    Back to groups no larger than 6
    In England. I can't help but feel
    A second lock down may be
    Coming, perhaps not as severe
    As the first.

    Yesterday, when this news crossed the threshold here in HEL, the YLE news reporter showed clips about Trump supporters going all "We don't believe this, and if it's true he did it in the best interest of the 'MURICA!"

    So this does not change anything; haters are going to hate, lovers are going to love and everybody else is going ...whiskey tango foxtrot....?

    That entire „I‘ve done it to prevent a panic“ argument is just silly.

    Let‘s just have a look on most of the European Countries ( well not the UK):

    Leaders told us what was coming - how dangerous it was and what was necessary to fight it.
    And no panics occured - best example of leadership may be NZ though.

    Truth is, Trump downplayed this all to keep stockmarket bubbles up and running and make sure rhat he‘s getting reelected.

    That's sadly true. Trump can do almost anything and his supporters will still cheer for him. There are a few exceptions such as when he had a meeting with Putin and said he believed Putin and not his own inteligence services. On the flight back he tweeted about the "fake media" going crazy about what he said. When he came back he held a press conference where he lied and said he misspoke. But any competent White House staff (or competent president) would have dicovered this even before he entered Air Force One, but the tweet proves he knew what he had said, but he had to backtrack when he discoverd the reactions from the Republican party.

    To help with queueing outside shops
    Etc, during covid. I think the Gov could
    Sponsor line dance lessons. To encourage shoppers to exercise and
    Make queueing a little more fun. ;)

    This picture made me think of Honey in the Dr No novel when she first met Bond. If covid had been around then, her mask would have covered her broken nose and this might have been the image that Bond saw!

    I'm sure your source is very realiable. :v

    Even though I use "fake news" I'm worried about Europe. The national health authorities now rate almost all of Europe "red" (and I don't mean ideologically), including many regions in the Nordic countries.

    It's the new James Bond film - as far fetched and far-reaching as its near Bond soundalike!
